PART II: Theory
What is phonemic transcription?
Phonemic transcription /foni:mk trnskrpn/ is the most common type of phonetic transcription. This is the type
that is used in English dictionaries. This is the type that we talk about on Antimoon.
Phonemic transcription is also called broad transcription, as opposed to narrow transcription
How does phonemic transcription work?
Suppose we have two different English sounds. Should we give them separate symbols in transcriptions? In phonemic
transcription, the answer is yes only if there is an English word where saying one sound instead of another changes
the meaning.
For example, saying d instead of t in the word bet changes the meaning (the word becomes bed), therefore we use
separate symbols for d and t in phonemic transcriptions. In other words, we say that t and d are two separate
phonemes.
On the other hand, the flap t (in this pronunciation of the word letter) and the regular t (in this one) are two very
different sounds. However, there are no English words where saying the flap t instead of the regular t (or the other
way around) changes the meaning. Therefore, in phonemic transcription, we use the same symbol for the flap t and the
regular t. In other words, we say that the flap t and the regular t are the same phoneme.
Each of these examples gives two different sounds that are written with the same symbol in phonemic transcription. In
other words, the two sounds are the same phoneme.
the clear l in lid and the dark l in hill (the second sounds like a vowel and the tongue does not touch the top of your
mouth; the difference is especially audible in British English)
the ee sound in this pronunciation of meet and this one (the second is much longer)
the p sound in pin and spin (the first is accompanied by more breathing)
the w sound in wine and twine (the first is voiced, the second is not)
