Zorluk: OrtaDiphthongs

Complete the phonetic observation by filling in the blank with the correct word.

Cevap:While words like 'door' and 'floor' are pronounced with the pure monophthong vowel /ɔː/, the word 【moor】 is pronounced with the diphthong /ʊə/.

Cevap

The word that completes the statement is 'moor'.
The word 'moor' is pronounced as /mʊə/, featuring a distinct vowel glide from /ʊ/ to /ə/, making it a diphthong. In contrast, 'door' (/dɔː/) and 'floor' (/flɔː/) are produced with the monophthong /ɔː/.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Examine the phonetic transcription of the contrasting words 'door' and 'floor'.
Both 'door' (/dɔː/) and 'floor' (/flɔː/) contain a single long pure vowel sound (monophthong), /ɔː/.
Identifying the monophthong baseline helps distinguish pure vowels from gliding diphthongs.
2
Determine the phonetic transcription of 'moor' to check for a diphthong glide.
'Moor' is transcribed as /mʊə/, which involves a vowel glide from the near-close back rounded vowel /ʊ/ to the central schwa /ə/.
A sound that glides from one vowel position to another within the same syllable is classified as a diphthong.
