PHO107 - Basic Segments of Speech (Vowels I)

The focus of this most popular VLC-E-Lecture is the system of Cardinal Vowels. Jürgen Handke not only discusses the phonetic description of vowel articulation, he also shows how the Cardinal Vowel Chart can be developed and constructed - and last but not least: he produces the Primary and Secondary set of Cardinal Vowels. This includes snapshots of the tongue position in each case and a real-time anterior view for each vowel. The follow-up E-Lecture Vowels II discusses the use of the cardinal vowels as reference vowels for the types of vowels that exist in the languages of the world.

Para los hispanohablantes es muy díficil entrenar nuestros oídos para el idioma inglés, por lo que es importante comprender estos conceptos, pero con un poco de esfuerzo y voluntad, y la ayuda de gente generosa y buena como Usted que nos enseña lo podemos conseguir. ¡Muchas gracias!

    In the VLC language index, you can listen to the cardinal vowels of three speakers: Daniel Jones, Peter Ladefoged and Jürgen Handke, the VLC project manager (trained by Peter Roach). It turns out that Jones's and Handke's vowels are almost identical whereas Ladefoged's [a] is much more back. This may be due to differences in individual vocal tracts. According to your comment, Daniel Jones must be wrong too!! We will take up this issue in the questions of the month (3/2013) video.

    Absolutely fantastic! I wonder why the IPA didn't choose the sign æ for the lowest front cardinal. It is soo confusing for any "normal" European (Fr, Es, De, Slavic, even Hi) Just checked, so, in IPA the lowest "a" does not sound like you did it but it is more German a-ish, this shape could probably just as well be a triangle, because once the tongue is lowered, its highest point cannot seem to be really directed forwards or backwards.

    To me it sounded more like [æ], as in English , which is near-open front. The open front unrounded vowel should be more like the [a] in Italian , French , and (arguably) in German (the German vowel is usually a bit farther back than the Italian and French).

    ***** That would depend entirely on one's ideolect. In the US, the vowel in "red" is more like the [ɛ] which is often classified as a French Vowel. In the UK, people usually classify the vowel in "red" as the [e]. This is really being classified broadly, rather than narrowly. If one is more accurate, the vowel would be labeled as [e̞] (with a lowering diacritic). The cardinal production is more closely heard in the Romance languagesː Spanish and Italian.

    03:58 One more question: Why did you pronounce the front vowels as unrounded, while the back vowels as rounded? (e.g. the /u/ ) This way you mixed up two different features of these vowels, because now they differ not only by their front-back and up-down characteristic, but also by their rounded-unrounded characteristic, making it confusing and harder to consider separately. Wouldn't it be better to focus on each one feature at a time? E.g. fix the roundedness first and pronounce the up, down, front and back extremes, and then start switching roundedness to show how it affects their sounds?

  • @MaestroRigale

    @MaestroRigale

    6 жыл бұрын

    My understanding (and it is limited) is that the back vowels tend to round much more frequently across languages, as a general rule, and this commonality is part of what made the rounded back vowels part of the "primary cardinals." The front vowels tend to be unrounded more frequently than rounded, though my understanding is that this is less common than the roundedness of back vowels. But, it seems to me that his aim was to present the "primary cardinals" as a set, and then the "secondary cardinals" as a set, which has a practical, pedagogical motivation.

    The theory of the reason why IPA vowels' chart looks like that isn't persuaded that much by the way mentioned in this video. In fact, the true reason is that the f1 and f2 formants of every single vowel construct a 2 dimension chart, and the shape of the chart is a trapezoid. I suspect the way which was introduced in this video is because the "sample point" of the tongue isn't accurate. Which part should we take? Tip? Middle part? Or back? The video didn't clarify this.
