Zorluk: OrtaMonophthongs (Pure Vowels)

Identify the monophthong vowel sound in the word provided below.

Cevap:In the word br<u>oa</u>d, the underlined letter combination 'oa' produces the pure vowel sound 【/ɔː/】.

Cevap

The correct International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) symbol for the underlined monophthong sound in 'broad' is /ɔː/.
The letter sequence 'oa' in the word 'broad' is pronounced as the long pure vowel /ɔː/. Unlike regular 'oa' words such as 'load' /ləʊd/ or 'toad' /təʊd/, 'broad' /brɔːd/ does not contain a gliding diphthong sound.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the pronunciation of the word 'broad'.
The word 'broad' is pronounced /brɔ��d/ in standard Received Pronunciation (RP).
Although the orthographic pattern 'oa' usually represents the diphthong /əʊ/ (as in 'road' or 'boat'), in 'broad' it forms an exception and represents a pure vowel sound.
2
Determine the exact monophthong phonetic symbol.
The sound produced is the long open-mid back rounded vowel, represented by the symbol /ɔː/.
A monophthong is a single, unchanged vowel sound produced without movement of the articulators from one position to another.
