this is in response to an email that

I've recently received hi I'm a little

confused about the bat sound when it

precedes the consonants mmm and mmm that

is the N and G and M consonant sounds

because in dictionaries they are all

written with the bat vowel sound but I

actually find them to be more like

something else I'd really like to get

this straight thank you very much this

is an excellent point I had been

thinking of doing a blog entry on this

myself and had not really gelled the

idea and so thank you so much for this

email this is exactly right that when

the app as in bat vowel sound is

followed by an N ng or M consonant sound

within the same syllable the a vowel

sound is really not a pure a vowel sound

even though it is written that way in

IPA this case is similar to the dark L

sound which I did a blog on and have

since referenced many times and the dark

L sound is written in IPA simply as an L

but when it is at the end of a word or

syllable it is always preceded by a

vowel like sound no matter what else

comes before it now this is slightly

different in that the case is only with

the as in bat vowel followed by one of

these three consonant sounds let's go

ahead and break down an example the word

pan it is written with the consonant

sound

the ass as in bat vowel sound and the mm

n consonant sound in IPA ah hmm now

watch my mouth as I say the word pan the

mouth does not open as much as it does

on the pure aa as in bat sound ah hmm

pan so what is the vowel sound if not a

P

or as in bat pan pay it the first thing

you can see is that the corners of the

lips so they do come up a little bit

it's not as drastic a pull as it is in

the AH as in that sound

pan-pan it's much more subtle the tongue

however stays in the same position pan

so the tongue is the same as the at as

in that the other major difference is

that the jaw doesn't drop quite as much

as it does on the as in bat sound pan

pan here we see the two side-by-side on

the left is the at as in bat pure vowel

sound being spoken on its own on the

right is the word pan being spoken so

you can see again that the corners of

the mouth do not come back and up as

much in the word pan as they do in the

pure vowel sound and the jaw does not

drop quite as much however as you can

see the tongue position is the same the

other thing to note is that it is not a

single sound it is more of a diphthong

sound pan of this sort of modified at

going into a schwa before the end

pan-pan a few other words that have this

at as in bat followed by the consonant

sound animal animal animal

tan-tan-tan-tan

and and and pan pan pan this modified a

vowel is the same when it is followed by

an M consonant sound within the same

syllable for example the word Pam this

is the same sound as in case one when

the ass as in bat was followed by an N

it is this modified ass sound followed

by a schwa pam other example words damn

damn damn AM M AM ambiguous ambiguous

the third case when it is followed by an

NG and sound now in IPA

when these are in the same syllable

again the vowel sound is written

followed directly by the consonant sound

it is not however a pure aa sound in

this case however the sound is not the

same as it is in the previous two cases

where it was the modified a followed by

a schwa in this case when it is followed

by the ng sound it is actually like the

ay as in say diphthong let's take for

example the word anger

and the word danger a anger deign danger

to me that sounds like the exact same

vowel sound preceding the ng consonant

sound anger danger eh eh now in IPA the

word anger is written with the @ as in

bat sound followed by the ng sound in

IPA the word danger is written with the

a as in say diphthong and as I've just

said to me to my ear these sounds are

exactly the same anger so when the a

sound is written in IPA followed by the

ng sound as in anger

it is really pronounced much more like

the ay as in say diphthong a few more

examples hang hain't hang bang bang bang

language language Fang Fang Fang

so the IPA is not a perfect tool it

doesn't capture every sound within a

language perfectly and that is

understandable as language is such a

complex thing so the lesson here is when

you read a word written in IPA with via

as in bat sound followed in the same

syllable by an M or an N consonant sound

it is actually pronounced as a modified

a sound going into a schwa making a

diphthong like sound and that modified

aa is one in which the jaw does not drop

quite as much and the corners of the

mouth do not come back and up quite as

much when you see the ass as in bat

sound followed by the ng consonant sound

within the same syllable

it is pronounced as the ay as in say

diphthong

这是对我最近收到的一封电子邮件的回复

嗨，

当它

在辅音 mmm 和 mmm 之前，

即 N 和 G 和 M 辅音之前，我对蝙蝠的声音有点困惑，

因为在字典中它们都是

用 蝙蝠元音的声音，但

实际上我发现它们更像

是别的东西我真的很想弄清楚

这一点非常感谢这

是一个很好的观点我一直在

考虑自己写一篇关于这个的博客文章

并没有真正凝胶化 这个

想法，非常感谢您的这封

电子邮件，这是完全正确的，

当应用程序（如 bat 元音）在同一个音节内

跟着 N ng 或 M 辅音时

，

元音实际上不是纯元音

即使它在 IPA 中是这样写的，

这种情况类似于

我在博客上写过的暗 L 声音，并且

此后多次引用，而暗

L 声音在 IPA 中只是作为 L 写的，

但是当它在结尾时 一个词或

一个音节它总是 前面有一个

类似元音的声音，不管

它前面还有什么现在这有点

不同，因为只有蝙蝠元音中的这种情况，

后面跟着

这三个辅音之一让我们

继续分解一个例子，这个词

pan it

用 bat 元音中的 ass 和

IPA 中的 mm n 辅音写成 ah hmm 现在

当我说 pan 这个词时注意我的嘴巴

嘴巴没有

像在 bat 中那样在纯 aa 上张开那么多 sound ah hmm

pan 那么元音是什么，如果不是

P

或 bat pan 支付它首先

你可以看到的是嘴唇的角，

所以它们确实有点上扬，

它没有像它那样剧烈的拉力

在 AH 中，就像在那个声音

pan pan 中它更微妙，但

舌头保持在相同的位置 pan

所以舌头与 at

相同，另一个主要区别

是下巴不会像

就像它在 bat sound pan pan 中所做的一样，

我们在这里看到两个并排

左边的 ide 是 at 和 bat 一样的纯元音

右边是正在说出 pan 一词，因此

您可以再次看到嘴角

在 pan 一词中不会向后和向上抬起 就像他们在

纯元音中所做的那样，下巴不会

下降太多但是你可以

看到舌头的位置是一样的

另一件事要注意的是它不是一个

单一的声音它更像是一个双元音的

泛音 这种在 pan-pan

结尾之前进入 schwa 的修饰语

其他一些在 bat 中具有此

at 的单词，后跟

辅音 animal animal animal

tan-tan-tan-tan

和和 pan pan pan 这修饰了 a

当元音后跟

一个 M 辅音在同一个

音节中时，元音是相同的，例如单词 Pam 这

与在 bat 中的 ass 后跟一个 N 的情况相同，

它是这个修改过的 ass 声音，

后跟 a schwa pam 其他例句 该死

该死该死 AM M AM ambiguous ambiguo 我们

在第三种情况下，当它后面跟着一个

NG 和现在在 IPA 中的声音，

当它们再次在同一个音节中

时，元音被写出来，

紧跟在辅音之后，

然而在这种情况下它不是纯 aa 声音，

但声音是

与前两种情况不同

，它是修饰的 a

后跟 schwa 在这种情况下，当它

后跟 ng 声音时，它实际上

就像在说双元音中的 ay 让我们以

anger

和 单词危险 愤怒

对我来说是

危险

听起来与 ng 辅音之前

的元音完全相同 危险是用 a 写的，

就像说双元音一样，正如我刚刚

对我说的那样，这些声音是

完全相同的愤怒，所以当

用国际音标写 a 声音，然后用

ng 声音写成愤怒时，

它真的很发音

更像是 a s in say diphthong 还有几个

例子 hang hain't hang bang bang bang

language language language Fang Fang Fang

所以国际音标不是一个完美的工具，它不能完美地

捕捉语言中的每一个声音

，这是可以

理解的，因为语言是如此

复杂 所以这里的教训是，当

你读到一个用 IPA 写的单词时，via

as in bat 声音，在同一个音节后面跟着

一个 M 或 N 辅音，

它实际上发音为修改后

的声音，进入 schwa 发出

双元音，如 声音和修饰的

aa 是一种下巴没有下降

太多，嘴角没有

像在蝙蝠

声音中那样后仰和上扬的声音，然后是 ng 辅音。

音节

它发音为 ay 就像在说

双元音中一样
