Classification of vowels according to the stability of articulation

Stability of articulation. Vowels are grouped into 3 groups: Monophthongs, diphthongs, diphthongoids.

Monophthongs are vowels the articulation of which is almost unchanging: [i,e, ᵆ, a:, Ͻ, Ͻ:, u, ^, З:, Ә]

In the pronunciation of diphthongs the organs of speech glide from one vowel position to another within one syllable:[ ei, ai, Ͻi, au, зu, iә, έә, uә]

In the pronunciation of diphthongoids the articulation is slightly changing but the difference between the starting point and the end is not so distinct as it is in the case of diphthongs. [i:, u:]

Answer: Suffixes and word stress. SEE!!! - p28Eng Pr.

Some words are made up of a root and a suffix:

Root danger ous suffix

In some words with suffixes, the stress stays on the same syllable as in the root. Compare:

`danger and: `dangerous

In other words, the suffix changes the stressed syllable. Compare:

`commerce and com`mercial

3. Classification of vowels according to lip position:

The shape of the mouth cavity is also largely dependent on the position of the lips. When the lips are neutral or spread the vowels are termed unrounded. [i:, i, e, ᵆ, a:, ^, ʒ:, ә]

When the lips are drawn together so that the opening between them is more or less round the vowel is called rounded. [Ͻ, Ͻ:, u, u:]

A question tag is a question added at the end of a sentence. Speakers use question tags chiefly to make sure their information is correct or to seek argument.

When a tag is spoken, the voice can go up or down. If the voice goes up, it is called Rising Intonation and if it goes down, it is called Falling Intonation. It is a nice day today, isn’t it? ↘
A falling intonation means that the speaker is sure (or almost sure) that the statement is true. The speaker knows that it is a nice day. The tag is not a real question. He is inviting his friend to continue the conversation.
You have been on holiday, haven’t you? ↗
A rising intonation means that the speaker is less sure. He thinks that his friend has been on holiday, but he isn’t sure. The tag is more like a real question.

2. Make phonetic analysis: Comets, chlorine, phosphorus
