ai versus aï in French This is often due to the use of an alphabet that was originally used for a different language (the Latin alphabet in these examples) and so does not have single letters available for all the phonemes used in the current language (although some orthographies use devices such as diacritics to incre... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonemic_orthography |
Pronunciation and spelling do not always correspond in a predictable way Sometimes, different letters correspond to the same phoneme (for instance u and ó in Polish are both pronounced as the phoneme /u/). That is often for historical reasons (the Polish letters originally stood for different phonemes, which later merg... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonemic_orthography |
Conversely, a letter or group of letters can correspond to different phonemes in different contexts. For example, th in English can be pronounced as /ð/ (as in this) or /θ/ (as in thin), as well as /th/ (as in goatherd). Spelling may otherwise represent a historical pronunciation; orthography does not necessarily keep ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonemic_orthography |
For example, both the k and the digraph gh of English knight were once pronounced (the latter is still pronounced in some Scots varieties), but after the loss of their sounds, they no longer represent the word's phonemic structure or its pronunciation. Spelling may represent the pronunciation of a different dialect fro... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonemic_orthography |
With some loanwords, though, regularity is retained either by nativizing the pronunciation to match the spelling (as with the Russian word шофёр, from French chauffeur but pronounced in accordance with the normal rules of Russian vowel reduction; see also spelling pronunciation) or by nativizing the spelling (for exam... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonemic_orthography |
Alphabetic orthographies often have features that are morphophonemic rather than purely phonemic. This means that the spelling reflects to some extent the underlying morphological structure of the words, not only their pronunciation. Hence different forms of a morpheme (minimum meaningful unit of language) are often sp... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonemic_orthography |
Such spellings can assist in the recognition of words when reading. Some examples of morphophonemic features in orthography are described below. The English plural morpheme is written -s regardless of whether it is pronounced as /s/ or /z/, e.g. cats and dogs, not cats and dogz. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonemic_orthography |
This is because the and sounds are forms of the same underlying morphophoneme, automatically pronounced differently depending on its environment. (However, when this morpheme takes the form /ɪz/, the addition of the vowel is reflected in the spelling: churches, masses.) Similarly the English past tense morpheme is wr... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonemic_orthography |
Many English words retain spellings that reflect their etymology and morphology rather than their present-day pronunciation. For example, sign and signature include the spelling ⟨sign⟩, which means the same but is pronounced differently in the two words. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonemic_orthography |
Other examples are science /saɪ/ vs. conscience /ʃ/, prejudice /prɛ/ vs. prequel /priː/, nation /neɪ/ vs. nationalism /næ/, and special /spɛ/ vs. species /spiː/. Phonological assimilation is often not reflected in spelling even in otherwise phonemic orthographies such as Spanish, in which obtener "obtain" and optimista... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonemic_orthography |
The final-obstruent devoicing that occurs in many languages (such as German, Polish and Russian) is not normally reflected in the spelling. For example, in German, Bad "bath" is spelt with a final ⟨d⟩ even though it is pronounced /t/, thus corresponding to other morphologically related forms such as the verb baden (bat... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonemic_orthography |
Turkish orthography, however, is more strictly phonemic: for example, the imperative of eder "does" is spelled et, as it is pronounced (and the same as the word for "meat"), not *ed, as it would be if German spelling were used.Korean hangul has changed over the centuries from a highly phonemic to a largely morphophonem... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonemic_orthography |
A defective orthography is one that is not capable of representing all the phonemes or phonemic distinctions in a language. An example of such a deficiency in English orthography is the lack of distinction between the voiced and voiceless "th" phonemes ( and , respectively), occurring in words like this (voiced) and th... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonemic_orthography |
Languages whose current orthographies have a high grapheme-to-phoneme and phoneme-to-grapheme correspondence (excluding exceptions due to loan words and assimilation) include: Many otherwise phonemic orthographies are slightly defective: Malay (incl. Malaysian and Indonesian), Italian, Maltese, Welsh, and Kazakh do not... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonemic_orthography |
The phoneme-to-letter correspondence, on the other hand, is often low and a sequence of sounds may have multiple ways of being spelt, often with different meanings. Orthographies such as those of German, Hungarian (mainly phonemic with the exception ly, j representing the same sound, but consonant and vowel length are ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonemic_orthography |
For example, for speakers who merge /eː/ and /ɛː/, the phoneme /eː/ may be spelt e, ee, eh, ä or äh. English orthography is highly non-phonemic. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonemic_orthography |
The irregularity of English spelling arises partly because the Great Vowel Shift occurred after the orthography was established; partly because English has acquired a large number of loanwords at different times, retaining their original spelling at varying levels; and partly because the regularisation of the spelling ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonemic_orthography |
The syllabary systems of Japanese (hiragana and katakana) are examples of almost perfectly shallow orthography – exceptions include the use of ぢ and づ (discussed above) and the use of は, を, and へ to represent the sounds わ, お, and え, as relics of historical kana usage. There is also no indication of pitch accent, which ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonemic_orthography |
With time, pronunciations change and spellings become out of date, as has happened to English and French. In order to maintain a phonemic orthography such a system would need periodic updating, as has been attempted by various language regulators and proposed by other spelling reformers. Sometimes the pronunciation of ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonemic_orthography |
In some English personal names and place names, the relationship between the spelling of the name and its pronunciation is so distant that associations between phonemes and graphemes cannot be readily identified. Moreover, in many other words, the pronunciation has subsequently evolved from a fixed spelling, so that it... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonemic_orthography |
Methods for phonetic transcription such as the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) aim to describe pronunciation in a standard form. They are often used to solve ambiguities in the spelling of written language. They may also be used to write languages with no previous written form. Systems like IPA can be used for ph... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonemic_orthography |
Phonemic orthographies are different from phonetic transcription; whereas in a phonemic orthography, allophones will usually be represented by the same grapheme, a purely phonetic script would demand that phonetically distinct allophones be distinguished. To take an example from American English: the /t/ sound in the w... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonemic_orthography |
A perfect phonemic orthography has one letter per group of sounds (phoneme), with different letters only where the sounds distinguish words (so "bed" is spelled differently from "bet"). A narrow phonetic transcription represents phones, the sounds humans are capable of producing, many of which will often be grouped tog... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonemic_orthography |
English, for example, does not distinguish between aspirated and unaspirated consonants, but other languages, like Korean, Bengali and Hindi do. The sounds of speech of all languages of the world can be written by a rather small universal phonetic alphabet. A standard for this is the International Phonetic Alphabet. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonemic_orthography |
