Prediction in Teaching Pronunciation
Learners and teachers of English as a second or foreign language (ESL/EFL) take for granted that learning grammar means learning rules. They do not often think of learning rules for pronunciation. Instead, images of listening and speaking come to mind.
Morphology via Orthography
Can a language rule impede learners' oral accuracy? The standard ESL/EFL presentation of the {Z} and {D} morphemes of English requires the distribution of allomorphs according to the phonological characteristics of stem-final sounds. Examined from the learner's point of view, the standard approach is heavily biased against beginning students. This study offers an alternative approach that is heavily biased in favor of beginning students but is no…
Orthography as a pronunciation resource
Of the newest trends in English pronunciation teaching-the emphases on fast-speech phenomena, phrase rhythm, word stress, and the use of orthography as a learning tool-only this last is calculated to produce independent, self-sufficient learners, capable of increasing in oral proficiency outside the classroom, away from textbooks, and beyond the influence of teachers. This article draws together and illustrates the most compelling reasons for tea…
The Invisible Y
What can a teacher say to help the student whose rendering of community sounds like come-moon-ity and whose ridiculous rhymes with tickle us? One possibility is, “Go to a dictionary and look up the pronunciation of these words.” Another, more helpful possibility is, “Let me show you whereto use the Invisible Y in English,” The Invisible Y is the unwritten /y/ that is required in continue, omitted in construe, optional in continuity, and in issue,…
Exchange Predicting Vowel Tenseness in English
Bisyllabic Laxing Rule
Research to help learners of English use spelling clues to predict the vowel and consonant sounds as well as the stress of words has revealed a rule simplification which has practical and theoretical implications. This paper shows that the well-known Trisyllabic Laxing Rule is a subcase of a much simpler and more general vowel quality rule, the Bisyllabic Laxing Rule. On the practical side, the Bisyllabic Laxing Rule gives ESL students a way to p…
Spelling in Tesl
Spelling is a major pronunciation resource. If shown how to exploit it, learners can increase their oral intelligibility and expand their active, speaking vocabulary. To incorporate such outcomes as pronunciation goals, teaching materials must introduce spelling patterns into the curriculum. In order to make vowel quality predictions from spelling, learners must also have word-stress information. Stress information is available in the form of ped…

Phonological Variability in Pronunciation Instruction
Variability is in the nature of an ever-changing language. The language teacher cannot responsibly dodge variability but must arrive at a realistic strategy for coping with it. Such a strategy is outlined here. Its realism is derived from an understanding of sound change in language and of the language-level (as opposed to dialect-level) goal of the student. Sound change has affected the phonemic inventory, the phonemic word classes, and the phon…
The Psycholinguistic Unity of Language Learning and Language Change
Recent research interest in the performance of second language learners has neglected the area of phonology learning. This report on a longitudinal study shows the viability of using a sociolinguistic model of sound change for studying the process of learning a target language sound system. The model calls for a variability analysis of the phonetic diversity in the learner's speech. The example analysis shows that learners systematically alter th…
The Wh Question of Pronunciation
Advocated in this paper is an approach to pronunciation which recognizes that, in addition to articulatory skill, the student needs another equally important skill, that of determining for himself when to use the sounds he is learning to produce. Central in the program which teaches this skill is the interrelationship of conventional orthography and the insights of generative phonology in the notion vowel quality pattern
