English Vowel Detail "-a-" [ʌ]

I.                   Phonetic Description

[ʌ] The name of this symbol is “open-mid back unrounded vowel”, “Central-Mid Unrounded Short Vowel” or “low-mid back unrounded vowel”, is a type of vowel sound, used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is [ʌ], graphically a rotated lowercase vee (called a turned V, though it was created as a small-capital [ᴀ] without the crossbar), and both the symbol and the sound are commonly referred to as either a wedge, a caret, or a hat. In transcriptions for some languages (including several dialects of English), this symbol is also used for the near-open central vowel.

II.                   Production

a.              The center of the tongue is raised just above the fully open position.

b.             No contact being made between the tongue and the upper molars.

The Different Between Phonetics and Phonology (Perbedaan Phonetics dan Phonology)

Phonetics: In order to produce sound humans use various body parts including the lips, tongue, teeth, pharynx and lungs. Phonetics is the term for the description and classification of speech sounds, particularly how sounds are produced, transmitted and received. A phoneme is the smallest unit in the sound system of a language; for example, the t sound in the word top.

Phonology: Phonology is the term used for the study of the speech sounds used in a particular language. The distinctive accents that many learners of English have are due to differences between the phonological system of their language and that of English. From birth, and possibly before, we learn to recognize and produce the distinctive sounds of our own language. We do not need to give any thought to how to have the lips, tongue, teeth, etc. working together to produce the desired sounds. The physical structures of parts of the sound system are adapted to produce native-language sounds.
