10361-65892019-09-30T03:04:40Z Bangla-specific study of English Monophthongs Hasan, S. M. Mohibul Phonemes Graphemes Monophthongs Long Vowels Short Vowels Applied Linguistics This article was published in BRAC University Journal [© 2013 BRAC University Journal] and the definite version is available at : http://hdl.handle.net/10361/6589 The non-phonetic nature of English spelling leads to unpredictable pronunciation. Thus, Bangla-speaking learners of English mispronounce English monophthongs--short and long vowels as contrasted with diphthongs--since they lack specific knowledge about the contrastive elements of their L2 and L1 monophthongs. In order to help them, this essay discusses the redundant and distinctive features of English and Bangla monophthongs; presents English monophthongs with their Bangla near-equivalents; pairs up English short vowels with their long counterparts in ways helpful to Bangla-speaking learners of English; and lists the non-syllabic (both phonemic and non-phonemic) realizations of English long vowels. Finally, it discusses some implications for learners. 2016-10-18T07:23:10Z 2016-10-18T07:23:10Z 2013 Article Hasan, S. M. Mohibul. (2013). Bangla-specific study of English Monophthongs.
