ASPECT: Speech Work

TOPIC: Monophthong, Diphthong, Triphthong

CONTENT:

All languages have monophthongs and many languages have diphthongs, but triphthongs are relatively rare. English has all three types: the vowel sound in “hit” is a monophthong /ɪ/, the vowel sound in “boy” is a diphthong /ɔɪ/, and the vowel sounds of “flower”, /aʊə(r)/, is a triphthong.

MONOPHTHONG: It is a vowel sound whose quality doesn’t change over the duration of the vowel. Monophthongs are sometimes called “pure” or “stable” vowels. E.g. /e/, /u:/, /I/, /ə/, /æ/, /ↄ:/

DIPHTHONG: It is a vowel sound that glides from one quality to another. It is also referred to as two quality sound. There are eight of them in British English /ei/, /ai/, /ↄi/, /eə/, /ʊә/, /aʊ /, /iә/, /әʊ/

TRIPHTHONG: Is a vowel sound that glides successively through three qualities. E.g., /aiә/ as in fire, /aʊə/ as in flower
