Unseized opportunity. Respelling of English words in L1 Polish textbooks

The purpose of this study is to present the results of an analysis of several Polish textbooks, popular in primary schools (grades 4-6, age 10-13), to demonstrate how Polish textbooks give the pronunciation of English words. Authors of textbooks use their native orthographic convention for sound form signalization called respelling. It is a simple and convenient strategy for indicating pronunciation more accurately than normal spelling. However, respelling of English words poses some problems related to the use of L1 alphabet for decoding foreign language sounds, such as domestication or omitting relevant phonetic information. Another problem concerns the indistinct separation of the two forms of language – written and spoken – due to the use of letters for signalling sound form. L1 classes create a perfect opportunity for students to develop their linguistic awareness. This opportunity, however, does not seem to be fully embraced by the authors of the textbooks. Generally, there is a lack of wellthought- out solutions aimed at the orthoepic competence concerning phonetic transcription conventions. Thus, some ways of clarification of how the sounds of spoken language are represented in written form are proposed.

New concept for uvula manipulation to treat puberphonia

Speech organs or articulators produce the sounds of language. The organs used for speech include the lips, teeth, alveolar bridge, hard palate, velum (soft palate), uvula, glottis, nasal cavity, pharynx and various parts of tongue. The vocal fold, in the larynx vibrates creating fluctuation in air pressure known as sound waves. The resonators of the mouth create formant regions and so different qualities sonorant (voiced) sound. We have a large series of vocal track vibrating endoscopic movie bank. We have created by treating 600 cases of puberphonia. We are able to record the change in the shape of the vocal tract and vibrating power of the airflow in the vocal tract. We are able to deduct and distinguish the different shape of the uvula and how airflow directed to the mouth by uvula. We are doing only uvula manipulation in treating puberphonia which gives immediate and persistent result. We are trying to bring out the importance of uvula in speech productions. The study concludes that the pharyngeal/uvula resonance manipulation therapy may be considered as an essential mode of treatment for puberphonia. Yet we like to inform that uvula is the structure in our body so little understood, so often abused and maligned.

The study of written speech of younger students with articulatory and acoustic dysgraphia

Introduction. The article is devoted to the actual problem of the study of writing disorders inIn the written works of the study participants, specific errors were found associated with violations of sound pronunciation, violations of phonemic hearing and phonemic perception. This indicates that articulatory-acoustic dysgraphia most students participating in the study. In this article, the authors described in detail the stages of the study and presented its diagnostic program, analyzed the results obtained during the study. And also formulated conclusions that confirm the need for continuous diagnosis and prevention of violations of written speech.Materials and methods. The study of the features of the written speech of younger students with articulatory-acoustic dysgraphy was carried out in several stages. At the stage of analysis of pedagogical documentation, speech cards of primary school students were investigated. During the study of the writing process, students wrote dictation and exposition. These types of works differ significantly in the structure of their implementation, which led to this choice. The lexical material was selected in accordance with the requirements of the training program of students-participants of the study. The study of the sound-pronouncing side of speech included the study of pronunciation of all groups of sounds of the Russian language in all participants of the study. The nature and degree of violation of sound reproduction were determined. The results of the study were interpreted on the basis of a qualitative and quantitative approach.The results of the study: the study revealed that articulatory-acoustic dysgraphia is one of the most common types of violations of written speech. Specific errors in written works occur both in younger students with dysgraphia, and in students who have no indication of violations of written speech. As a result of qualitative analysis of dictation and presentation of students revealed that a significant number of children are not fully formed the skill of writing the presentation. Children can not fully disclose the topic, there are isolated errors in the construction of phrases. Along with this, children in written works missed some moments of the action, there was a violation of the coherence of the story. In the written works of children there is a significant number of spelling errors. In the study of sound pronunciation, it was revealed that the most mistakes children made when differentiating sounds by sonority-deafness.Discussions and conclusions. Based on the results of the study conclusions were drawn: articulatory-acoustic dysgraphy is the most common in this group of study participants; specific errors and violations of sound are observed in most children regardless of whether dysgraphy is detected or not. These studies convincingly prove the need for constant monitoring of the state of written speech of all students, determine the importance of developing methodological recommendations aimed at the prevention and correction of articulatory and acoustic dysgraphy.

Children’s and adults’ initial phonological acquisition of a foreign language

Abstract This study compared children’s and adults’ L2 perception and production in the first hours of exposure to a foreign language. A total of 10 German children and 19 German adults performed a phoneme discrimination task and a sentence imitation task in Polish at two testing times. Exposed to a comparable input, the adult learners were found to perceive Polish sibilant contrasts more accurately than their child counterparts and to maintain this advantage over a two-week-long instruction. However, the two groups did not differ in their developing ability to produce the tested sibilants. A great deal of inter- and intra-individual differences in both learner groups was also attested. Our findings suggest that young L2 instructed learners are not necessarily better and/or faster perceivers and producers of novel language sounds than adult L2 instructed learners, who are able to discriminate a range of novel sibilant pairs even after very limited L2 exposure.

METACOMMENTARY IN ENGLISH VINGLISH MOVIE

This study analysed David Fischer’s utterances in English Vinglish movie using metacommentary. His utterances will be classified based on six types of metacommentary namely metacommentary type 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The aims of this study were describing types of metacommentary used by David Fischer and explaining reasons behind it. This study used qualitative method which was divided into three those were method of collecting data using simak method; method of analysing data using descriptive analytic method; and method of presenting data analysis using informal method. Findings of this study showed that all six metacommentary types were found in David Fischer’s utterances. Metacommentary type one-marking code was used when his students started to use their native language, so it was a control for them to continue using English. Metacommentary type two-marking the sounds of language was used when his students pronounce English using their native language pronunciation, and it appeared in compliment because it aimed to appreciate and improve students’ self-confidence using English. Metacommentary type three-marking address term was used when his students have sufficient English skills, and it aimed to minimize negative effects of his utterances which he gave comments to his students. Metacommentary type four-gesture was used to clarify his utterances and to reduce bad effect of his utterances to his students. Metacommentary type five- comments on clothing, appearance was used to improve his students’ confidence. Metacommentary type six-irony contained implied meaning, and it was used to cover students’ weakness in English therefore students will not be hurt.     Â

Usus wa-Ru’á fī Tadrīs al-Lughah al-‘Arabīyah li-Ghayr al-Nāṭiqīna bi-hā

The research aims to explain (1) Teaching and disseminating the Arabic language among non-native speakers in a correct way; (2) Teaching language skills in a clear and integrated manner; (3) Choose the appropriate method of teaching; (4) Finding the most effective way to communicate the Arabic language to the whole world; (5) Keep the sounds of the Arabic language as is. Therefore, the researcher presents the problem of this research: the need of non-Arab societies for the Arabic language, and learning them in an often non-systematic way, which led to the spread of the language incorrectly. The results show that (1) Learners of the Arabic language in general, their education must be based on confirming the four language skills and their learners from non-native speakers in particular, it must be trained and practiced on these skills; (2) There is no complete and imperfect teaching method, but it is the educational position that imposes a certain type of method; (3) Some learners of the Arabic language who are not their children have reached a stage of mastery that may exceed their children. This is due to his keen desire to learn it. (4) The teacher of the Arabic language for non-native speakers of it must be broad-educated, familiar with the cultures of the people who study Arabic, to know the differences between the voices of the Arabic language and the sounds of the learner’s mother language, as well as the significance of the vocabulary that differs from one people to another.

Phonemic awareness in an oral German-origin Brazilian language: a study of Hunsrückisch and German bilinguals

Phonemic awareness is the ability to notice and manipulate language sounds in their base form (phonemes). It is associated with emerging literacy skills and predictive of skilled reading. The aim of the present study was to investigate phonemic awareness in German and its association with speaking a German-origin, but predominantly unwritten language. We investigated speakers of Hunsrückisch, a Brazilian minority language predominantly used in its spoken form. Participants were literate Brazilian Portuguese speakers who spoke Hunsrückisch and German or Hunsrückisch only. The results show faster, more accurate performance in the phonemic awareness task among participants who spoke Hunsrückisch and German, relative to those who spoke Hunsrückisch only. Participants who spoke Hunsrückisch only were able to perform the phonemic awareness tasks but having learned to read and write in German allowed for faster, more accurate performance, especially in relation to pseudowords.

In-Service Primary School Teachers’ Account of Phonetically Difficult Words in English as a Foreign Language

This article presents and discusses a mixed-method study that seeks to establish a set of words in the English language that in-service primary school teachers consider difficult to pronounce by young learners of English whose first language (L1) is Norwegian. In the study, 26 in-service primary school teachers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) are asked to write a reflective essay with a list of phonetically difficult words (henceforth PDWs) in English that they think are difficult to pronounce by young EFL learners. Additionally, the in-service primary school teachers (further – participants) are requested to reflect and comment on PDWs, and explain the reasons why they think they are phonetically difficult. The participants’ individual lists of PDWs are compiled into a corpus which is processed in the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) in order to calculate the frequency of PDWs. The participants’ comments and reflections are subsequently analysed qualitatively in order to establish the sources of PDWs. The results of the investigation reveal that the corpus of PDWs is comprised of 257 lexical items. The most frequent PDWs are associated with those sounds of the English language that are absent in the young EFL learners’ L1, Norwegian, e.g., /θ/ in birthday, /ð/ in this, /z/ in zoo, etc. Other frequent PDWs are related to English spelling conventions (e.g., fruit), the word-initial position of affricates (e.g., chocolate), and word stress (e.g., window). These findings and their linguo-didactic implications are further discussed in the article.

Interference of Phonological Aspects of Emphatic Consonant Sounds from Arabic into English Consonant Sounds for Sudanese University Students of English

This study investigates why SUSE substitue the English consonant sounds /t/, /d/, /s/, /z /and /ð/ by the emphatic Arabic sounds /s/, /t/, /d/, and /ð/ in English words. The sample of this study is a group of Sudanese university students majoring in English. The first data collection tool is a test. This test contains a sample of words that contain the problematic sounds; these words have been observed to contain /ʌ/, /ə/ and /ɒ/. The second CAH is used to compare the articulation of the problematic sounds in both languages in addition to the emphatic sounds in Arabic. The most important results are as follows. First, some distinctive features of the English vowel sounds are shared by distinctive features of the emphatic Arabic sounds. Second, because of their absence in Arabic, the English vowels /ʌ/, /ə/ and /ɒ/ regressively and progressively influence the English sounds /t/, /d/, /s/, /z/ and /ð/ and change their quality to the emphatic Arabic sounds) /s/, /t/, /d/, and /ð/).

Students’ Perception of Listening Lesson at University of Riau

Listening is a skill in capturing the sounds of language by listening verbal language that receiving messages from other people's ideas, thoughts or feelings. This study aims to describe students' perceptions of the listening lesson in the learning process. The method used is a quantitative survey method with a total sample of 50 students of Indonesian language and literature education FKIP University of Riau who join the listening lesson. This study uses a questionnaire technique that is distributed to students of the Indonesian Language and Literature Education Program at the University of Riau. Questionnaires consist of 17 statements made in the form of a checklist with a range of assessments from 1 to 5. Technical data analysis through stages (a) changes the value of the category into an assessment score and (b) analyzes the score, (c) determines the category. The results showed that the response of the students based on the highest experience was the desire to obtain complete teaching material by 70%, the highest response of students to importance of media as if there were applications in listening lesson in accordance with current technology with a percentage of 80%, and The highest student responses about the need for evaluation of listening lesson was the feedback of listening proficiency criteria set by the lecturer at 68%. Then it can be concluded that students' perceptions of the listening lesson are the desire for improvement in the media and applications in the listening lesson that contains teaching the material

Coevolution of language and symbolic meaning: Co-opting meaning underlying the initial arts in early human culture.

Many of language's components, including communicating symbolic meaning, have neurobiological roots that go back millions of years in evolutionary time. The intersection with the human social survival strategy spawned additional adaptive meaning systems. Under conditions threatening survival in socially oriented human groups, extra-language meaning systems co-opted and adapted to facilitate unity, including the early formats of the arts. They would have percolated into cultural practice for this social purpose and ultimately survival. With evolutionary pressures tapping into biologically inherited, physiologically functioning sensory-motor pathways, anchored specifically in rhythm cognition and motor synchrony output, initial art practice conveyed symbolic group cohesion through communal, all-inclusive synchronously moving dance formations and rhythmically produced vocal or percussion sounds. As with the sounds of language in the deep past, and numerous other cultural behaviors, such nonmaterial early art formats would not have left marks in the archeological record but their evolutionary driven practice would have contributed to adaptive genetic factors woven into brain-behavior evolution. Their practice is likely to have well predated unearthed art-related objects. Consolidation of evidence and notions from language evolution, genetics, human physiology, comparative animal communication, archeology, and climate history in the distant past of early humans in Africa supports the evolutionary driven practice of initial nonmaterial art formats conveying symbolic expressions optimizing group survival.

Stable auditory processing underlies phonological awareness in typically developing preschoolers

Sound processing is an important scaffold for early language acquisition. Here we investigate its relationship to three components of phonological processing in young children (∼age 3): Phonological Awareness (PA), Phonological Memory (PM), and Rapid Automatized Naming (RAN). While PA is believed to hinge upon consistency of sound processing to distinguish and manipulate word features, PM relies on an internal store of the sounds of language and RAN relies on fluid production of those sounds. Given the previously demonstrated link between PA and the auditory system, we hypothesized that only this component would be associated with auditory neural stability. Moreover, we expected relationships to manifest at early ages because additional factors may temper the association in older children. We measured across-trial stability of the frequency-following response, PA, PM, and RAN longitudinally in twenty-seven children. Auditory neural stability at age ∼3 years exclusively predicts PA, but this relationship vanishes in older children.

The Sound Symbolism of Names

A wealth of research demonstrates that certain language sounds seem to go better with certain kinds of targets (i.e., sound-symbolic associations). The most well-known example is the maluma-takete effect, in which nonwords such as maluma are judged as good matches for round shapes, whereas nonwords such as takete are judged as good matches for sharp shapes. Most of this research involves nonwords, but recent work has shown that sound symbolism has implications for real first names. On the basis of a name’s sound, individuals tend to pair the name with particular shapes and indicate that they prefer people with congruent pairings of name sound and face shape. Individuals also associate different kinds of personalities with given names on the basis of the sounds the names contain. Thus, sound symbolism is not limited to nonwords and can emerge even with words that have existing associations. Sound-symbolic associations may also occur with more abstract properties (e.g., personality traits). Thus, this work provides insight about mechanisms underlying sound-symbolic association.

Self-Assessment of the Sounds of the English Language that Pre-Service EFL Teachers Consider Problematic to Pronounce

The article presents and discusses a mixed-method study that aimed at establishing how pre-service teachers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) self-assessed those sounds of the English language that would cause problems for their pronunciation in EFL. Fourteen pre-service EFL teachers on the intermediate level of EFL proficiency whose first language (L1) was Norwegian were recruited for the study. They were asked to write reflectiveessays concerning the sounds of the English language that they considered problematic to pronounce. The participants’ essays were contrasted with the essays written by the control group that was comprised of 14 in-service EFL teachers whose L1 was Norwegian. The results of the analysis revealed that the participants identified several English sounds that they self-assessed as problematic to pronounce, e.g. /z/, /ð/, /θ/, and /ʌ/. The analysis of the controls’ essays yielded similar results. These findings and their linguo-didactic implications are discussed in the article.

Keutuhan Nada dan Makna dalam Susunan Bahasa Al-quran

This article aimed to describe three focuses: first, how sounds oflanguage signify its meaning; second, how composition of sounds correspondsto the composition of meaning; and third, what are the proofs that the soundsof al-Qur’an verses compose its meanings. Research approach of this articleis qualitative approach using library research. Based on phonological andsemantic studies, this research concludes that the relation between wordsand its meaning in Arabic is natural relation; sounds of al-Qur’an thereforeindicates its meaning; and it can be proofed by analysing al-Qur’an fromphonological and semantic perspective

Produksi Organ Bicara Bahasa Arab

The field of linguistics that studies, analyzes, and discusses the sequences of language sounds is called phonology. The sound units that are the object of the study are phonetic and phonemic. In the case of issuing, producing, or uttering sounds, of course through the process. Human speech organs consist of the respiratory system, esophagus and oral cavity, nose and throat which then work together to produce a sound, both in the form of consonants and Arabic vowels. The consonant study in this case relates to the characteristics, pronunciation of articulation and the place where the sound is released.

Analytical Study of Similarity and Contrast Of Arabic Sounds in Indonesian Language (ar)

It is unthinkable that errors in the pronunciation of Arabic voices can hinder understanding and lead to ambiguity and ambiguity in meaning. This study aims to determine the sound errors that researchers witnessed in Luqman al-Hakim Surabya school students. This study uses descriptive and qualitative methods for field research. The source of the data consists of primary data (samples of class II A students) and secondary data found from references related to research. While the method for collecting research data is using observation and interviews. After conducting research at the Luqman Al-Hakim School in Surabaya, the researcher found a sound error, namely the mention of letters that are similar to Tatwiriyah errors and errors in the mention of sounds in Arabic that are not found in Indonesian, namely the Prayer of Blessing. the cause of errors in the mention of the sound of Arabic in class II A students at Luqman Al-Hakim Surabaya School is ignorance and lack of application of rules in terms of sound also because of the influence of mother tongue, namely Indonesian.It is unthinkable that errors in the pronunciation of Arabic voices can hinder understanding and lead to ambiguity and ambiguity in meaning.
