In the book of ‘Ye Ui’ of ‘Hunminjeongeum’, there are 17 initial sounds, which are consonants, including velar sounds (ㄱ, ㅋ, ㆁ), lingual sounds (ㄷ, ㅌ, ㄴ), labial sounds (ㅂ, ㅍ, ㅁ), dental sounds (ㅅ, ㅈ, ㅊ), guttural sounds (ㆆ ,ㅎ, ㅇ), a semi-lingual sound (ㄹ), and a semi-dental sound (ㅿ). Among these, ‘ㄱ’, ‘ㄷ’, ‘ㅂ’, ‘ㅅ’, and ‘ㅎ’ can be transformed into ‘ㄲ’, ‘ㄸ’, ‘ㅃ’, ‘ㅆ’, and ‘ᅘ’. Also, there are medial sounds, which are vowels, including basic sounds (ㆍ ,ㅡ, ㅣ), initially born sounds (ㅗ, ㅏ, ㅜ, ㅓ), and twice born sounds (ㅛ, ㅑ, ㅠ, ㅕ). In the fifteenth century, as time changes, Hangeul also experienced a transition. The biggest change of all was that the four letters ‘ㆁ’, ‘ㆆ’, ‘ㅿ’ and ‘ㆍ’ were disappeared since they were not used very often …show more content…
Many people such as Pearl Buck, J. D. McCawley, and G. Samson highly praised the uniqueness and excellence of Hangeul, saying that it is the simplest but most marvelous characters in the world. First of all, Hangeul is a phonemic writing system, which is very efficient. Humans have developed three kinds of writing systems such as syllabic writing (Japanese), ideograms (Chinese), and phonemic writing system. Alphabets in English and Hangeul are phonemic writing systems. It makes us easier to learn because there is no need to memorize all the words like Chinese. Second, Hangeul has a one-on-one relationship with the phonemes of Korean language. For example, in English, we can write ‘k’ phoneme as either ‘k’ or ‘c’, which depends on what words we are trying to say. Also in Mongolian writing system, ‘o’ and ‘u’, and ‘O’ and ‘U’ sounds are the same phonemes, so we have to know the words to write them down. In Hangeul, however, we can write any words even though we do not know how to write them because the sounds are the way to write them. In addition, Hangeul is the epitome of systematic writing system. It is easy to learn because the letters are interdependent each other. Also, the consonants and vowels look completely different, which makes us easy to figure out which goes where. Last but not least, words can be consummated only if the consonants and vowels are combined properly. For example, ‘ㅁㅏㅇㅡㅁ’ is not a word, but

This paper explores - with illustrative demonstrations - four queries concerning different aspects of phonemic restoration:

The language is also made up of 25 consonants; “B (be), C (ce), CH (che), D (de), F (efe), G (ge), H (hache) J (jota), K (ka), L (ele), LL (elle), M (eme), N (ene), Ñ (eñe), P (pe), Q (cu), R (ere), RR (erre), S (ese), T (te), V (uve), W (doble ve), X (equis), Y (i griega), Z (zeta).” These letters can be stressed when the indicated with the symbol //.

However, there were strange vowel choices on higher notes that made it hard to understand some of the phrases that were being sung. For example, on the word “master”, the choice to use a diphthong instead of an ordinary “a” vowel, made the word take on a darker sound in a happier song.
Humans have been using written language to communicate ideas with one another since as early as 3200 BCE in Mesopotamia. Since then, every great civilization has had a written language, each with its own unique characteristics. However, it was the writin...
1.2. PHONOLOGICAL BACKGROUND. This part of the first section presents the inventory of Hasawi phonemes as a good reference for Results section.
These three groups were then asked to complete three different tasks. The first was to repeat and segment 20 different words (5 consonant-vowel-consonant, 5 CCVC, 5 CVCC, and 5 CCVCC) and two overall scores were administered to the participants. Both scores were out of a maximum of 20 points; the first score was based on giving 1 point for each correctly analyzed word, and the second score was based on giving 1 point for correctly analyzing medial vowels.
Garrett (1975) represented four characteristics of slips of the tongue. The first one is that the exchange exists between linguistic units of the same positions. For example, initial linguistic segments are replaced by another initial linguistic segment. The same generalization is applied to the middle and final linguistic segments. Additionally, slips appear in similar phonetic units. This means that that the consonants are replaced by consonants and vowels are replaced by vowels. Furthermore, the slips occur in similar stress patterns, which signifies that stressed syllables are replaced by stressed syllables and unstressed syllables are replaced by unstressed syllables. Finally, slips of the tongue follow the phonological rules of a language (cited in Carroll, 2007, p. 195).
The end of World War II marked the formation of the Republic of Korea (ROK) in the southern half of the Korean peninsula and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) in the northern half (“Korea, South”). Although these two countries were formed at the same time, they are now vastly different culturally and economically. The two countries do have some similarities and they are similarities that remind the world that Korea was once united. Hangeul, the accepted South and North Korean national language, is considered to be “one of the most scientific writing systems in the world.” The fact that the language is so easy to read and write is thought to be the reason behind South Korea’s high literacy rate (“Facts About Korea”). Other than their language and a few shared cultural practices, the citizens of North and South Korea have very little in common. South Korea is, ironically, more of a democracy than the DPRK ever was ...
Reduplication is one of the word formation processes demonstrated in many languages of the world. In Bantu languages, the common word formation processes are the agglutinative nature of languages (affixation), borrowing, compounding and reduplication (Contini-Morava 2007). ‘Reduplication in Bantu languages is phonological as it has the phonological constraints that are based on the prosodic features’ (Odden 1996). In Bantu languages reduplication processes are either complete or partial. It is complete in a sense that the whole stem/base is copied and it is partial in a sense that only part of the stem is copied. However, whether the doubled segment is the whole word or part of the word, the newly formed word becomes part and parcel of the vocabulary of that particular language.
Consonants are described in accordance with three main parameters and any change in one of these parameters can result in a change of the sound and this leads to a change of the meaning of words. It is defined as the point where the airflow is obstructed and where a sound is produced (Ahmed, 2004: 17). The place of articulation (Makhraj) is defined as the point where the sound is produced (Al-Bisher, 2000: 180). There are many terms of the place of articulation as “MaKhraj”, initiator (Al-Mubda), the flow (Al-Majra) which is used by many classic Arab phoneticians. While the modern phoneticians use the terms” the place or point of articulation" and “the location of articulation” (Al- Joburi, 2004: 2-5).
This is because it has different verbs, prepositions, conjunctions, tenses and nouns that make it easy to learn compared to other languages like Chinese and Spanish whose system is hard to grasp. In most cases, many non-English and Chinese speakers will understand the English alphabet faster than the Chinese and Spanish alphabet.
All languages have vast variety of speech sound. Phonology have essentials terms in which each of them show the difference between how phonology is differ than phonetics as its not responsible for how to articulate. These phonological terms known as : phoneme , allophone, clear & dark l , syllabic l, minimal pairs , assimilation ,linking r , intrusive r, aspiration , consonant structure & syllable structure. A phoneme is a meaningful sound which shows the difference between two sounds which can change the meaning of word like : . Although allophones are the variation of same sound but they don’t change the meaning of it like < pin / spin >. However
I offer several groups of these benefits below, which may help to convince you to take the plunge, if you need such persuasion. One groups of benefits represent economic and practical reasons, others have intellectual and even sentimental content, but whatever reasons you choose, you will have a clear idea of why learning foreign language so important and how it can help to motivate you in your studies. First group is personal benefits. Learning foreign language, people develop their brain`s capabilities, in particular your memory. The researchers from University College London has shown that learning other languages altered grey matter – the area of the brain which processes information – in the same way exercise builds muscles.
