1. phonetic transcription
Everyone pronounces words differently. This assignment will allow you to send
your own audio pronunciation along with the corresponding phonetic transcriptions.
Record yourself saying the following 5 English words. Record each of the words
separately, and say them naturally in the following carrier phrase: Say _______
again.
a. pen
b. rattle
c. cot
d. minute
e. caught
Save each of these recordings as a
unique file, compress them according to instructions on this site, and place
them all on a web page owned by you. Provide a narrow transcription of each
of these five words (do not transcribe the entire carrier phrase). Your transcriptions
should be done on the web page. Use the IPA
phon font for your transcriptions.
2. recording a sample for the
speech accent archive

accent archive. Determine which samples are still needed (hint: the archive

atlas to see where there are no red dots. Send an email

to the "submit
a sample" page, and follow all of the instructions. Record the sample
according do the directions and send it to the archive.
