w3 - Seminar work (OPT)
Completion requirements
1) Open your files. In the TextGrid (TG), create a new point tier called „vowels“. (Tier > Add point tier > position = 1, name = vowels)
2) Find 20 vowels from across your recording, especially those that you suspect are not pronounced correctly.
3) For each chosen vowel:
- Insert a new point, into which you can write comments.
- Analyze your pronunciation. If it differs from the expected English vowel, say why. Add a short commentary about your pronunciation of the sound. For example, the point label might look like this: "ɑː - too front", "æ - not open enough, too long".
Do not focus on one specific vowel. Make your sample balanced and interesting so that especially the difficult vowels are included.
