11-5-2021 – Review, Diacritics, Suprasegmentals, and Other Symbols
IN CLASS
Try this JetPunk quiz - It's challenging because it's in a British accent. Sound them out and I'll type for you so you don't have to worry about spelling.
Re-take this quiz and copy down into your binder all symbols you don't know. We'll learn/study them this week.
Lastly, try this one on diacritics and start learning the ones you didn't get. It's not specifically based on the IPA but these are common diacritics used in various languages. It's a good start.
IPA SYMBOLS
Building on some of our learning of the phonetic symbols, for homework, fill in the below chart as much as possible for at least one of the languages that you're learning (Mandarin, Greek, or Spanish). Try to do this on your own before consulting any outside sources.
| Bilabial | Labio-dental | Dental | Alveolar | Post-alveolar | Palatal | Velar | Labial-velar | Glottal | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plosive | |||||||||
| Nasal | |||||||||
| Trill | |||||||||
| Tap or Flap | |||||||||
| Fricative | |||||||||
| Lateral Fricative | |||||||||
| Approximant | |||||||||

HOMEWORK:
• In a new blogger post, create a new phonemic transcription and a new phonetic transcription of "Happy Birthday" (the song) that include as many suprasegmentals as appropriate.
• Keep practicing "yadhtriB yppaH" and record it before next Friday.
• Fill in the table above for one of your languages
• In your binder, identify/label all the symbols you didn't know from the IPA symbol quiz.
• Read a chapter of your choice in The 5-Minute Linguist
• Do at least one problem set from the NACLO website.
