A brilliant video, Christine, thank you! Got a quick question though :) You said that you keep your tongue behind your bottom front teeth when pronouncing -ɪŋ in "think" and it got me thinking. I was sure that when a lax /ɪ/ is followed by -ng, it gets tenser, that is your tongue goes up a bit, especially for the words where ɪŋ is a suffix. Would you say a lax /ɪ/ does get tenser in certain words because of -ng or -r? Do you think it is regional? Thank you for all the work you do!!

Hi, yes, typically the /ɪ/ is more raised and slightly more tense in the context of /ŋ/ (also can be more nasal). But we don't need to try to change the vowel, the coarticulation makes this happen naturally. It will sound incorrect and accented if we use the /i/ vowel, for example. In the context of /r/ diphthongs like "here" and "ear," I feel that the sound is much closer to /i/ than /ɪ/ even though the IPA is often shown as /ɪr/. I don't think this is a regional difference, though we do have some for "air" as /er/ or /ær/.

@augustoherrera7465 Год назад

I think I understand the difference. When you say /ŋ/ it's made with the back of the tongue, this doesn't mean lift it, but rather pressing it down?

@SpeechModification Год назад

The back of the tongue does lift, but the front of the tongue is down.

@augustoherrera7465 Год назад

@@SpeechModification Thanks, I've been practicing, and it hurts. It takes lots of energy, Doesn't it?

@SpeechModification Год назад

Hi, it shouldn't hurt. You probably make the "ng" sound naturally when you say the word "think," (it's really "thingk"), so you might want to try to feel what happens as you say that word. Check this video out: ru-vid.comjVJyaYNGzoM
