Phân tích 2 cặp âm /ɪ/ và /i:/

a) /ɪ/

- It is a lax vowel (relaxed tone).

Example: hill /hɪl/; bridge /brɪdʒ/; ….

- How to pronounce it:

The glottis is nearly touched, the reed is closed, the larynx will tremble when
pronounced, the teeth with the lips rub against each other, the mouth is not open and the
jaw is slightly dropped, and the air passes through the trachea → the mouth → the sound
out.

The glottis

+ The raised part of the tongue: the front of

the tongue is always raised in the direction of
the hard palate.

+ The height of the raised part of the tongue:

close to the palate without touching it and the
air passage is narrow.

+ The lip shape: not spread

b) /i:/

- It is a tense vowel.

Example: sweet /swiːt/; seen /siːn/; green /ɡriːn/

- How to pronounce it:

The glottis is nearly touched, the reed is closed, the larynx will tremble when
pronounced, the teeth with the lips rub against each other, the mouth is wide open, and
the air passes through the trachea → the mouth → the sound out but remember to stretch
the tone out.

The glottis

+ The raised part of the tongue: the front of the

tongue is always raised in the direction of the hard
palate.

+ The height of the raised part of the tongue:

close to the palate without touching it and the air
passage is narrow.

+ The lip shape: spread out

Based on the position of these two tones in the table, it is possible to immediately
determine two important characteristics, these are two tones produced by exposing the
tongue to the area in front of the oral cavity, and the lips close. In addition, these two
sounds will also be pronounced with two stretched lips. That's not to say that the tongue
position and lip tension of these two sounds are the same, the minor differences will be
discussed below.

Difference:

- The only difference that distinguishes these two tones is their length. Sound /i:/ is a long
vowel and /ɪ/ is a short vowel.
- Even though /i:/ for most speakers will be consistently and reliably longer than /ɪ/ in the
same situation, this is not the most significant difference between the realizations of these
two vowels. They are qualitatively different.
- Just behind your teeth, you can feel it with your tongue, there is a little shelf that slopes
slightly upwards. This is your alveolar ridge. Behind this, your mouth suddenly arches
upwards to form the roof of your mouth. Now, if you feel just behind this ridge with your
 tongue you will be able to feel that this part of your mouth is hard and boney. This part of
the roof of your mouth is your ʜᴀʀᴅ ᴘᴀʟᴀᴛᴇ. If you carry on exploring further backward
with the tip of your tongue (it gets a bit ticklish) you will feel that the roof of your mouth
becomes soft and tissuey. This tissuey part of the roof of your mouth is your sᴏғᴛ ᴘᴀʟᴀᴛᴇ.
This change happens about halfway back.

- When most speakers make an /i:/, that part of their tongue directly below where your
hard and soft palate meet rises very close to the roof of the mouth. If you are an RP
(Southern Standard British English) speaker, it will come so close to the roof of your
mouth that if it got much closer, it would cause the air passing through to become
turbulent and would effectively turn the sound into a consonant. If you speak General
American, then the gap between your tongue and the roof of your mouth will be ever so
slightly bigger.

- For most speakers, when they produce an /ɪ/, the gap between their tongue and the roof
of their mouths will be significantly bigger than it would be for /i:/. It will be nowhere
near close enough to cause any turbulence. In addition, that part of the tongue that will
rise towards the roof of the mouth will be some millimeters further back from that part
that would rise for /i:/.

2. Giải thích nguyên nhân phát âm sai

Chúng ta sẽ tìm hiểu về nguyên nhân và lí do người Việt hay phát âm sai hai âm này.

a) Lười tra từ điển

- Đây là lí do mà hầu hết người đều mắc phải khi phát âm âm /ɪ/, /i:/ khi chúng ta đọc sách tiếng
anh, hay bắt gặp một số từ mới, chúng ta thường đọc theo cảm nhận và lý trí mà không tra từ điển
điều này sẽ làm chúng ta đọc sai và không nghe được chính xác hoặc sai ý nghĩa khi người nước
ngoài phát âm.
Ex: /peel/ : bình thường khi chúng ta nhìn vào từ peel thì sẽ thường hay phát âm là

b) Ảnh hưởng từ môi trường

- Môi trường xung quanh có ảnh hưởng rất lớn tới khả năng phát âm của người Việt. Mà
hầu hết những người họ giao tiếp cùng cũng phát âm sai. Thực tế đã chứng minh dù bạn
phát âm như thế nào, khi sống lâu trong một môi trường khác thì khả năng bị nhiễm và
nói theo đồng loại là rất cao.
Ex: Cách dạy của giáo viên.

c) Có vấn đề về phát âm
- Điều này có thể do một thói quen kéo dài hoặc do bẩm sinh của mỗi người mà làm cho
việc phát âm của họ trở nên khó khăn hơn những người bình thường khác.
Ex: Người địa phương.

+ The raised part of the tongue: when we pronounce it, the front of the tongue is always
raised in the direction of the hard palate which we call the front vowel.
+ The height of the raised part of the tongue: it should come close to the palate without
touching it and the air passage is narrow.

+ The lip shape: Always spread out to leave a long narrow opening between them.

Vowel /i/ is a short vowel
