Zorluk: OrtaMonophthongs (Pure Vowels)

Complete the statement by identifying the correct International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) symbol for the specified monophthong sound.

Cevap:The pure vowel sound represented by the underlined letters in the word c<u>ou</u>ntry is symbolized in IPA as 【/ʌ/】.

Cevap

The pure vowel sound represented by 'ou' in 'country' is /ʌ/.
In English phonetics, the letter combination 'ou' in the word 'country' yields the short central unrounded monophthong /ʌ/. This same sound is present in words such as 'flood', 'blood', and 'couple'.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the accurate phonetic transcription of the word 'country'.
The word 'country' is transcribed phonetically as /ˈkʌntri/.
Identifying the full transcription isolates the targeted vowel sound.
2
Isolate the monophthong sound produced by the underlined spelling pattern 'ou'.
The letters 'ou' in this context produce the short, open-mid back unrounded vowel sound.
Despite the 'ou' orthography, the vowel sound is short and pure rather than a diphthong.
3
Select the standard International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) symbol matching this sound.
The sound is represented by the IPA symbol /ʌ/.
The symbol /ʌ/ represents the short monophthong heard in words like 'bus', 'flood', and 'tough'.
