Modern Grammar - Assignment 3 James Madison University

Instructions: [This assignment will be marked only as an acceptable or unacceptable effort.]

1. Describe, as best you can, the basic characteristic(s) of the six different MANNERS of articulation for English consonants: Stops, Fricatives, Affricates, Nasals, Glides, and Liquids. (The last two might be hard to distinguish frome ach other. :) )
2. Make a COMPLETED copy of just the consonant and vowel charts in Chapter 2, adding words that start with (or if necesary, end with,) each sound next to the symbol for the sound. (You can find blank copies of the charts in a file called "Blank Phonetics Charts" under FILES on CANVAS.)
3. What three vowel symbols are missing from the vowel chart in our textbook (but described in the text), and what is special about the three vowel sounds they represent?
4. Using the consonant chart to help, attempt to transcribe (ie., to give the IPA symbol for) just the first sound in each of the following words:
   1. mansion
   2. spleen
   3. yellow
   4. kind
   5. classic
   6. quick
   7. chorus
   8. thanks
   9. woods
