Document Summary
Each phoneme has a different sound with which the words are formed; they are represented by a letter (grapheme) or symbol between two slashes. If these phonemes are modified, the words can change their meaning. A small animal with fur, four legs, a tail, and claws, usually kept as a pet or for catching mice. If we change the first phoneme /k/ for /b/, the word change also their meaning. A long wooden object used for hitting the ball in games such as baseball and cricket. As the name itself says, it refers to the transcription visual of the sounds of the words that exist within the english language. The transcriptions are mainly used to know the exact pronunciation of this word, that"s why they are used phonetic symbols like for example the international phonetic alphabet (ipa) for writing them. /a : crazy, okay, school, back, stuff, house, mass, choice. Vowels: contact, and, as, after, five, myself, society.
