Minimal pair or minimal set
A way of proving that a consonant or vowel
makes a difference in meaning
Use same frame & fill in different Cs or Vs
Sort of like rhyming with kids: big, pig, dig
But the sounds can be in any position as long
as it’s the same position in every word set
Important for trickier sounds, either/ether
Make minimal pairs for a few sounds
![Page 11: Class 02 emerson_phonetics_fall2014_minimal_sets_cs_vs_limericks_assonance](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060201/5599e7f71a28ab447a8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Vowel Symbols
Variation in English centers on vowels
Fewer letters of alphabet to begin with
So more symbols to master
Review symbols on blackboard

Vowels and diphthongs of English
14 different vowels in English
Vowels (monophthongs) have a single
sound quality throughout
3, 4 or 6 diphthongs (depending)
Diphthongs are a single vowel unit that
glides between two approximate sound
qualities
![Page 15: Class 02 emerson_phonetics_fall2014_minimal_sets_cs_vs_limericks_assonance](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060201/5599e7f71a28ab447a8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Diphthongs
3 true diphthongs
aɪ pie
aʊ pow
ɔɪ poi
Sometimes called diphthongs
eɪ pay
oʊ po (the Teletubbie)
ju pew

Try these vowels
Vampires and mosquitoes agree: blood
is good food
The white dove dove out of the nest.
We live near the live broadcast site.
The girl with the bow took a bow.

Literary devices with Cs and Vs
Alliteration: repeat first consonants of
words (often found in tongue twisters)
Consonance: repeat the final
consonants of words
Assonance: repeat vowels in words that
are close to each other; can be subtle
and hard to spot, “internal” rhyme
![Page 37: Class 02 emerson_phonetics_fall2014_minimal_sets_cs_vs_limericks_assonance](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060201/5599e7f71a28ab447a8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Edgar Allen Poe “The Bells”
Hear the mellow wedding bells - Golden
bells! What a world of happiness their
harmony foretells!
… From the molten-golden notes
At the melancholy menace of their tone,
Every sound that floats from the rust
within their throats … is a groan
![Page 38: Class 02 emerson_phonetics_fall2014_minimal_sets_cs_vs_limericks_assonance](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060201/5599e7f71a28ab447a8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Assonance in poetry
Adrienne Rich
Stir the nerves; Letters from the dead;

“Breaking Stones”
By Gillian Clark
Out in the dusk day after day breaking
stones, summer and winter, aching bones.
![Page 42: Class 02 emerson_phonetics_fall2014_minimal_sets_cs_vs_limericks_assonance](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060201/5599e7f71a28ab447a8b48a5/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
“Breaking Stones” cont’d
Under the tarmac of every road, every
motorway, lie the old tracks and the stones
they broke, the stones they sold.
Winter and summer stones for bread, and
bread for stones, till their old bones ached
from breaking stones.
