LETRS Unit 2 Session 5 Questions and
Answers Updated (2024) (Verified Answers)
diphthong
Single vowel phonemes that glide in the middle. The mouth position shifts during the production of
the phoneme. /oi/ in spoil /ou/ in couch /ī/ in light
Schwa
Means empty in Hebrew. It is the vowel in an unaccented syllable such as the last syllable in wagon.
Difference between long and short vowels
Long (tense) and short (lax) are arbitrary. They have little to do with the time it takes to say a vowel.
They are to do with the muscle tension in jaw. Long = beet, bait, boat, boot, beauty, bite. Short = bit,
bet, bat, pot, but, bought, book.
Vowels
A set of 15 phonemes in English (not including r-controlled combinations or schwa). It is an open
phoneme that is in every syllable. They can be classified by tongue position and height (e.g. front or
low, mid or back, round)
R-controlled vowels
When a letter is followed by an /r/ it's sound usually changes. It may become totally unified as one
phoneme or kept slightly separated.
