Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Phonetics Lab work. It needs to be at least 750 words.

say it one time in this paragraph. She say [ðə] ‘the’ at the end of the paragraph. All other times she say either /d/ or /s/. She use /d/ instead of /ð/ at the beginning of word and /s/ instead of /ð/ at the end of word.

She changes the voiced dental fricative /ð/ to a voiced alveolar stop /d/ at the beginning of word and she changes the voiced dental fricative /ð/ to a voiceless alveolar fricative /s/ at the end of word.

The Mandarin phonetic chart show that there is not /ð/ in the language. This maybe why speaker cannot say it.

So the speaker raising the front, close-mid vowel /ɪ/ to a front high close vowel /i/. The vowel chart for Mandarin show that there is no /ɪ/ in the language. This may be why speaker cannot say it.

Although she did use /r/ in some words such as [frʌm] ‘from’ that should be [frɒm], [brʌzɜ] ‘brother’ that should be [brʌðə], [rɛz] ‘red’ that should be [rɛd], and [tren] ‘train’ that should be [trein], she left it out in the words above. So she has trouble pronouncing the alveolar trill /r/ and leaves it out many times.

She has trouble using the alveolar, lateral approximant /l/ and leaves it out in these words. She can use it some places such as [slæbs] ‘slabs’ that should be [slæbz], in [smal] ‘small’, and in [wil] ‘will’ that should be [wɪl].

Same as the Mandarin speaker, the Thai speaker has trouble saying the front, close-mid vowel /ɪ/ and say /i/ instead. /i/ is a front high close vowel. So the speaker raising the front, close-mid vowel /ɪ/ to a front high close vowel /i/. The vowel chart for Thai also show that there is no /ɪ/ in the
