   2.7 Classifying Vowels. Vowels are made without an obstruction in the vocal tract, so they are quite sonorous. The body of the tongue moves in the mouth to shape each vowel, and for some vowels, the lips are rounded as well. Linguists classify vowels according to four pieces of information: tongue height, tongue backness, lip rounding, and ...

   Often, tense vowels are long and lax vowels short, but this is not a necessary connection in either English or many other languages For example, the tense vowels in Piet, Ruud are short, and the lax GA vowel in bag is long. Another characteristic of lax vowels is that they cannot occur without the following consonant: Note that there can be no word */pɛ/, but that /piː/ is fine (and is the ...

   In English phonology, there are twenty main orthographic vowels of stressed syllables. Some linguists have grouped these into four main categories: ‘Lax’, ‘Tense’, ‘Heavy’ and Tense-R’. Tense and lax vowels. Tense vowels are distinguished from lax vowels by adding a silent ‘e’ at the end of the word. So, the letter ‘a’ in ...

   What words end in lax vowels?

   • Lax vowels can occur in closed syllables, but not in stressed, open syllables. This means that we often find words that end in tense vowels: Me, day, shoe, show, saw, happy, today, subdue, etc. However, we never find words that end in lax vowels. That is, English doesn’t have words like /mɪ/, /dɛ/, /ʃæ/, or /bᴜ/.

   Do tense and lax words exist in English?

   • These words just can’t exist in English. So the tense/lax distinction is an example of one of those bits of unconscious knowledge we have about our language — even though we’re not consciously aware of which vowels are tense and which ones are lax, our mental grammar still includes this powerful principle that governs how we use our language.

   Is / a long vowel?

   • The fact that /ɪ/ is sometimes called a “short vowel” and /iy/ is called a “long vowel” doesn’t matter. It’s important for students to know that within a polysyllabic word (a word with more than one syllable), the stressed syllable will last longer than the unstressed syllable or syllables.

   How do you classify vowels?

   • We also classify vowels according to whether the lips are rounded or unrounded. In Canadian English, there are only four vowels that have lip rounding, and they’re all made with the tongue at the back of the mouth: [u] as in boot [ʊ] as in book [o] as in boat and [ɔ] as in bore

   How are vowels pronounced in English?

   • Vowel sounds are also affected by the shape of the lips—whether they’re very rounded, just a little rounded, relaxed, or stretched a bit wide. In English, the back vowels, /uw/, /ᴜ/, /ow/, and /ɔ/, are pronounced with varying degrees of lip rounding, and /r/ also has a little lip rounding, whether it’s used as a consonant (/r/) or a vowel (/ɚ/).

   The lax vowels are closer to the middle of the quadrant; the tongue is not pushing out toward the extreme edges of the mouth, so in a sense, it is more relaxed. Another difference between tense and lax vowels in in the positions in which they can be used in words. Tense vowels can occur both in closed syllables (those that end in a
