The different phoneme sounds of the vowel '' o ''. (Part I)

[The apprentice]

Dear teachers and members:


I am a spanish native speaker and I have been taught that the vowel O has no /o/ phoneme sound in English as opposite in spanish, meaning that it does not exist (the /o/ sound) in the English vowel '' o ''. Here are the different phonemes for the vowel ''o'' in English.

1°) The /ɒ/ sound or short '' o '' sound.

a) Consonant / ˈkɒnsənənt/ The vowel '' o '' is a primary stress

b) Conversation / ˌkɒnvəˈseɪʃən/ The vowel '' o '' is a secondary stress and the vowels '' io '', becomes Schwa /ə/.

c) Cop / kɒp/ (?)

NOTE:

* I have noticed that this sound is stressed whether it be a primary or a secondary stress.

* In the CVC pattern, is this sound stressed, if not, how it is called?

2°) The /ʌ/ sound or short '' u '' sound.

a) Nothing / ˈnʌθɪŋ/

b) Mother / ˈmʌðər/

c) Comfort / ˈkʌmfərt/ The second vowel '' o '' is a Schwa sound.

3°) The /ɔː/ sound or '' aw '' sound.

a) bought / kɔːt /

b) Thought / θɔːt /

NOTE:

* In this case, ''thought and brought'' are composed by the diphthong ''ou'', so it means that is not only the vowel ''o'' who makes this /ɔː/ sound in these words.

* /ː/ In british English (BrE) this two dots means that the sound is long.

* In american English (AmE), this /ɔ/ sound occurs in some words with the vowel ''o'' which are pronounced /ɒ/ in british English (BrE),

a) Long (AmE) / lɔŋ/ (BrE) / lɒŋ/

b) Wrong (AmE) / rɔŋ/(BrE) / rɒŋ/

c) Dog (AmE) / dɔɡ/ (BrE) / dɒɡ/

4°) The /ə/ sound or Schwa sound; in this case, the unstressed and reduced vowel '' 0 ''.

a) Occur / əˈkɜrː /

b) support / səˈpɔːt /

c) Of / əv / as a reduced vowel '' 0 ''.

5°) The /əʊ/ or long vowel '' 0 '' sound.

a) Piano / pɪˈænəʊ/

b) Stroll / strəʊl/

c) Cope / kəʊp/

NOTE:

* I have observed that in american English (AmE), this phoneme - a dipththong -, has a different phonetic spelling /oʊ/. In british English (BrE) this sound begins with a Schwa sound /ə/ and it is followed by a short '' oo '' /ʊ/ sound, so it means the vowel '' o '' it is an unstressed sound, may a Schwa sound be in a diphthong?

As someone who has an interest in the sounds of English, I would like to help you, The apprentice. Unfortunately, I got lost before I was halfway through your post.

Please try to identify specific problems you have, and ask about them one at a time. You can always ask follow-up questions.

 

[emsr2d2]

And don't forget to capitalise Spanish in the same way that you correctly capitalised ​English.

5jj.

When you are referring to follow-up questions. You are telling me to post question(s) about a same topic in a different thread; for example:

I°) I want to know if the short '' o '' sound /ɒ/ is a stressed sound

a) Consonant / ˈkɒnsənənt/

b) Conversation / ˌkɒnvəˈseɪʃən/

c) Cop / kɒp/ (?)

QUESTIONS:

1) In (a) the /ɒ/ sound has a primary stress.

2) In (b) The /ɒ/ sound has a secondary stress.

3) In (c) CVC pattern, I find that monosyllable words are always stressed in all vowels, but you tol me in other thread posted before, that they are not stressed.

4) I have noticed that multisyllabic words having this sound /ɒ/ are always stressed whether it be a primary or a secondary stress.
.

Do you mean something like this 5jj?

5jj.

When you are referring to follow-up questions. You are telling me to post question(s) about a same topic in a different thread, isn't it?

No.

I am asking you to post one question a a time. In your original post, you have asked about:

1°) The /ɒ/ sound or short '' o '' sound.

2°) The /ʌ/ sound or short '' u '' sound.

3°) The /ɔː/sound or '' aw '' sound.

4°) The /ə/ sound or Schwa sound; in this case, the unstressed and reduced vowel '' 0 ''.

5°) The /əʊ/ or long vowel '' 0 '' sound.

If you take these one at a time, we may be able to help you.

I think many of the observations you shared with the forum are right. Now you should try and ask your question.

Dear teachers and members:


<...> may a Schwa sound be in a diphthong?

I have found the above question in your post. The sound / ə / can be a second element in a diphthong, it's usually very weak in this position.
