    Know and recognize the symbols of the international phonetic alphabet

    Initially, the international phonetic alphabet was clearly a Eurocentric project: it involved referring exclusively to European phonology. But since linguists are driven by curiosity and work with a concern for precision, the frame of reference was quickly broadened. Today, the international phonetic alphabet can be applied to all languages. The international phonetic alphabet consists of more than 160 characters, reflecting the multitude of sounds in each language. Of course, each language therefore only uses part of the API.

    As mentioned above, the API symbols are taken from the Latin alphabet (the one we use in French) and the Greek alphabet. While some of these symbols are modifications of existing characters, others were created entirely. Now let's look at some of the symbols of the International Phonetic Alphabet.

    What are the consonants of the international phonetic alphabet?

    [p] – pronounced as in the word “bread”
    [b] – pronounced as in the word “bath”
    [t] – pronounced as in the word “table”
    [d] – pronounced as in the word “finger”
    [k] – pronounced as in the word “cotton”
    [g] – pronounced as in the word “grand”
    [f] – pronounced as in the word “feuWhat are the consonants of the international phonetic alphabet?

    [p] – pronounced as in the word “bread”
    [b] – pronounced as in the word “bath”
    [t] – pronounced as in the word “table”
    [d] – pronounced as in the word “finger”
    [k] – pronounced as in the word “cotton”
    [g] – pronounced as in the word “grand”
    [f] – pronounced as in the word “fire”
    [v] – pronounced as in the word “cow”
    [s] – pronounced as in the word “sky”
    [z] – pronounced as in the word “zero”
    [ʃ] – pronounced as in the word “cat”
    [ʒ] – pronounced as in the word “yellow”
    [ʁ] – pronounced as in the word “rat”
    [l] – pronounced as in the word “bed”
    [m] – pronounced as in the word “house”
    [n] – pronounced as in the word “snow”
    [ɲ] – pronounced as in the word “wildebeest”

    [v] – pronounced as in the word “cow”
    [s] – pronounced as in the word “sky”
    [z] – pronounced as in the word “zero”
    [ʃ] – pronounced as in the word “cat”
    [ʒ] – pronounced as in the word “yellow”
    [ʁ] – pronounced as in the word “rat”
    [l] – pronounced as in the word “bed”
    [m] – pronounced as in the word “house”
    [n] – pronounced as in the word “snow”
    [ɲ] – pronounced as in the word “wildebeest”

    The consonants of the international phonetic alphabet are divided into several categories depending on the part of the speech apparatus used to pronounce them. Namely the glottis, pharynx, larynx, soft palate (or soft palate), hard palate, alveoli, teeth and lips. Thus, we distinguish:

    Bilabial plosive consonants: [b] (sonorous) and [p] (deaf);
    The bilabial nasal consonant: [m];
    Labio-dental fricatives: [f] (voiced) and [v] (voiced);
    The dental nasal consonant: [n];
    Dental plosive consonants: [d] (sonorous) and [t] (deaf);
    Alveolar affricates: [ts] (voiced) and [dz] (voiced);
    Alveolar fricative consonants: [s] (voiced) and [z] (voiced);
    The vibrating alveolar consonant: [r];
    The alveolar lateral consonant: [l];
    Post-alveolar affricates: [tʃ] (voiced) and [dʒ] (voiced);
    The post-alveolar fricative consonant: [ʃ];
    The palatal nasal consonant: [ɲ];
    The lateral palatal consonant: [ʎ];
    Velar plosive consonants: [k] (voiced) and [g] (voiced);
    The voiced velar approximant consonant: [w].

    Another important difference to keep in mind: that between voiced and voiceless consonants. Indeed, what distinguishes the pronunciation of “d” from that of “t” is simply the use of the vocal cords for the “d”. Thus, these two consonants are called dental plosives, but the first is sonorous, while the second is voiceless.

    What are the vowels of the International Phonetic Alphabet?

    [i] – pronounced as in the word “bed”
    [e] – pronounced as in the word “fear”
    [ɛ] – pronounced as in the word “party”
    [a] – pronounced as in the word “cat”
    [ɑ] – pronounced as in the word “dough”
    [o] – pronounced as in the word “lot”
    [u] – pronounced as in the word “wolf”
    [y] – pronounced as in the word “moon”

    The fundamental difference between a vowel and a consonant is that a vowel is produced by the voice without any “obstruction” on the airflow, unlike consonants. These obstacles, as we have seen, can be diverse, from teeth to larynx.

    Vowels are also categorized according to their pronunciation, taking into account the opening of the mouth, the space between the tongue and the palate and the opening of the lips. We obtain for example:

    the central open unrounded vowel: [a]
    the unrounded mid-close front vowel: [e]
    the central semi-open unrounded vowel: [ɜ]

    Bonjour yoyo270

    Sans doute une erreur de manipulation, mais, dans plusieurs cas, les symboles et les exemples ne correspondent pas :

    [d] – pronounced as in the word “finger”
    [v] – pronounced as in the word “cow”
    [ʃ] – pronounced as in the word “cat”
    [ʒ] – pronounced as in the word “yellow”
    [l] – pronounced as in the word “bed”
    [m] – pronounced as in the word “house”

    Bonjour gerold
    Les signes phonétiques cités s'appliquent aux mots français traduits en anglais. v pour cow = vache, etc
