On the other hand, other dictionaries may simplify /ɝ/ as /ɜr/, or /ɚ/ as /ər/. Some dictionaries may detail further, using this symbol in the middle of a word, but /ɚ/ at the end of a word (e.g.: “brother”).
This chart uses /ɝ/ (as in “purple” /ˈpɝpəl/ or “NURSE” /nɝs/) for the R-colored vowel. Many dictionaries simplify it as /r/ because it's easier to type. This chart uses the proper /ɹ/ symbol for the (prevocalic) R sound. As a learner, you may still want to know it exists and is pronounced as a stressed /ə/, i.e.: with more intensity and energy, longer.
This is consistent with how a dictionary such as CMU (and its 100K+ entries) handles it, or how the Kindle's dictionary ( The New Oxford American Dictionary) does it (e.g.: “someone” = /ˈsəmˌwən/) or how handles their transcriptions too.My point of view is that, from an American perspective, /ʌ/ can be construed as a mere /ˈə/, i.e.: a stressed schwa: This may be the most controversial choice for some teachers, who have long been taught that “a schwa can never be stressed.”
You will not find /ʌ/ (as in “dust” /dʌst/ or “STRUT” /stɹʌt/) in this chart. Here are some of the decisions that went into the making of this chart: /ʌ/ vs. To do a good job of it, I had to decide what to focus on and just what to include. (At times, it may even feel as if there are as many conventions as there as dictionaries!)Īs mentioned, the goal of this chart is to teach the sounds of American English. There are many ways to transcribe English into phonemic transcriptions and, because there are various schools of thought and traditions, not all linguists agree on how it should be done.
