Linguistic

Good morning everyone, today I'm going to discuss three important topics which we have taken and they are:

Transcription

Syllables and

Stress

The first topic we are going to talk about is transcription of words. Before we begin explaining how to transcribe a word first of all we need to know what is meant by transcription.

Transcription is a representation in writing using specific phonetic symbols of how a word is actually pronounced. The word pronounced is very important because there is a huge difference between writing words and pronouncing them and concerning transcription, how a word is pronounced is the most important.

Now we will begin with the rules of how to transcribe a word. There are specific symbols for both vowels and consonants that are used for transcribing a word. Each symbol depends on the sound not on the letters found in the word.

For example: here are some examples of transcription of words the first word we are going to have is

Divide between repeated consonants. Eg: pil/low

When a vowel is long divide after the vowel but when it is shot divide after the consonant near it eg for long vowel: bea/ver eg for short vowel: fab/ric

The (ea) represent one long vowel sound and that's why...
