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.

Outstanding.. I had been searching for a long time to understand the cardinal vowels but didn't found a good explanation but for the first time i understood this.. Thank you very much
I've always founded phonetics and phonology quite confusing :/ but this video was really helpful and cleared up a lot of things for me Thank you very much Sir , I wish we had teachers like you in my University ...

Muchas gracias por enseñarnos los sonidos vocálicos del inglés, la verdad este esquema me ayuda mucho a entender las diferentes vocales no solamente del inglés sino también de otras vocales que hay en el mundo. 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!
Hi everyone my name is omar sadik im a moroccan students of English linguistics. I want to thank this channel. It has good ways of explanation.
Great lecture. Your tutorials are simply phenomenal. Thanks a lot.
The E-Lecture Vowels II answers your questions in detail.
Extremely useful for the aspirants of Linguistics.Thanks a lot fr your extraordinary presentation.
So nice a video. The two sets of vowels completely enlightened me in strengthening my pronunciation of French !
really help full electure, helped me to get rid of confusions that i had with cardinal vowel chart and its relation with tongue positions.
Thank you a looooooooooooooooot! I simply loved this class! I not only was able to learn how this phonemic chart was made but also discovered how german phonemes are produced! I have only to invert rounded to spread or vice-versa.
All your videos are really helpful. Thank you so much! Greetings from Perú
Another excellent lecture, as always!
extremely beneficial to English phonetic learners... Great job, thumbs up for you.
Smart! Sharp! You really know Mr Handke
Thank you for this extremely useful lecture.
Thank you. You took your time to do this for us!
More power to you Sir. I mean you are the best teacher when it comes to linguistics... Lot of prayers and good wishes. Wish to be ur student.
I really Love your lectures~ I am teaching Korean to foreigners, and my research interest is teaching pronunciation. Even though I learned Korean Phonology as a my major, I always learn much more in your lectures. Thank you so much for your great job!

Thank you teacher from the deep of my heart.
well that was interesting and enlightening at the same time ! Thank you so much for your efforts ^^
Thank You, for providing this valuable lecture...
Wunderbar!!! Marvellous! Maravilloso!!!
It's worth pointing out that in most languages, the vowel concepts cover certain fuzzy territories of this map, and they can even overlap, due to phonotactics.
Thanks for your time and efforts.
Hello. I just subscribed to your channel. The first time I saw this diagram was when I was studying the chrobology of English and the Great Vowel Shift. However the text didn't explain it this well. Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. It's greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much that was so helpful and informative.
This is outstanding!! Thank you.
Omg I'm starting to understand it thanks to you! Thank u!
It was amazing lecture I have enjoyed a lot and learn a lot from this lecture keep it continue respected and worthy sir
Thanks to all.
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.

Thank you Sir. This is very illuminating.
This coordination arrangement surely Exhibit the strongest relationship for developing a feature symbol set of phonetic symbols. It would be amazing to see the English-speaking world, and specifically the United States, begin endeavors for generating novel orthography and writing system(s) which might prioritize the best utility and scientific aspects possible
Oustanding information! Linguistics branches are necessary to learn.
you, sir,are a life saver!

Ihr seid wunderbar. Zz lehre ich Spanisch und bereite mir vor, Englisch auch zu lehren. Ich bin mir sicher, ich werde mit Euch online viel lernen. Hoffentlich sehen wir uns vor Ort bald sehen.
It is fantastic but I need more practice to put in practice, do you have a suggestion for more practice or any reference is there?
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.
This was easy to understand, my lecturer should use the easy tactics :) thanks Alot!!!
I found your video very helpful... Thanks .
The Virtual Linguistics Campus is a gift.
Thank you so much :) The video is great
Thank you for this video sir. 👍
Thank you Sir so clear and useful
This is great!
Thank you. Is there a version of this chart made to help Spanish speakers to achieve English vowels, and vice versa?
I used to freak out whenever I was confronted with a vowel quadrilateral, but not any more! Thank you!
Dear teacher Thanks for your help Regards
very good nd impressive lecture,
A question please> and how about the other vowels? like the classifications of the diphthong vowels and the other short and long vowels,how are they pronounced? Are they in a different category, like not cardinals? or it's hard to decide their position of articulation?! Because here we only had the primary/and secondary vowels, in which only some specific short and long vowels were mentioned.... and thanks in advance, that was a really good explanation, helped me alot!
Thank you!
anyone know how I would go about measuring vowel duration? Is it as simple as zooming in and selecting the part of the vowel after the VOT until the end of the vowel waveform?
that was almost awesome thanks for ur explanations
waaaw a great explaining , thanks alot
La vocal [a] esta muy bien pronunciada, porque es la vocal de quienes hablamos español y yo la conozco perfectamente, pues es mi lengua materna, pregúntele a cualquier hispanohablante, esa vocal no existe en el inglés, salvo en algunos diptongos donde se aproxima un poco.
sir really you have explained in a very nice way...:):):):):)
Thank you you are a good man
thank you!
Very informative Thx
Well done, your explanations are very nice! But I wonder why you don't pronounce the [a] as in "father". In my opinion you pronounce it more like an [ɛ] or a German . I thought [a] was a straight "a" - this sound was completely missing in the quadrilateral chart, or am I wrong?

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).
vielen dank!!!
million thanks
Great!!!
Thanks for you wonderful videos. One thing confuses me. This [e] (fron, mid-high) is the e from spanish? Because it sounds rather differently to me.
@mjb-voice

***** 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.
How and where can I get to your phonetics and phonology classes please? I need more exercises.
at 11:37, for the [ʏ], shouldn't it be [ɤ]? [ʏ] is a mid-close near-front vowel, while [ɤ] is the close-mid back unrounded vowel...

great! but I don't clearly understand if the tongue touches the lower teeth or not!
what is the difference between the weak and strong syllabuse ???
a is happening in the back of my mouth just like "aw" how do you get it happening in the front of the mouth?

Yes, it's hard to memorize, but the best way is to write and draw a diagram daily or make it again and again for one single of vowels first. It's the only way!

Thank u sir
NICE PRESENTATION. GREETINGS FROM MSU
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

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.
Excuse me, at the end you said about interactive tutor with ear training. Can't seem to find those, would you be so kind to help?

Version of pronounced words is science
- 0:08 There aren't five but six orthographical vowels in english : - 3:38 You produced a near-open front unrounded vowel [æ] instead of fully open [a] - 9:20 The close-mid back unrounded vowels isn't [ʏ] (i.e. near close near front rounded vowel) but [ɤ] Did I miss anything ?

Was ist Ihre Meinung bezüglich LÄNGE der Selbstlaute? Das deutsche U in Schule ist genauso lang wie das englische U in school? Ich wäre Ihnen besonders dankbar, wenn Sie mir eine Antwort geben könnten. Vielen Dank im Voraus.
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.

Sir, cardinal vowel No.4 /a/ pronounced by you and Daniel Jones sounds more like /æ/ as in cat, but this cardinal vowel pronounced in the IPA website (by 4 speakers) sounds more like /ɑ/ as in father, Could you tell me why? Looking forward eagerly to your reply, thank you!
