Investigating the Problems of Letters-Based Pronunciation
Keywords:
Letters, Sounds, Vowels, Consonant, Silent Letters, MorphemesAbstract
Letters (alphabet) are important elements of writing and pronunciation in many languages around the world. In the English language, letters are useful only for writing, but in pronunciation, they're more problematic. There are a lot of exceptions in English spelling. The letters and their pronunciations are not fixed and do not match. This confuses foreign learners and speakers of the English language when they pronounce words based on letters. The data for this article was collected after reading and analyzing updated books and articles from reliable sources like libraries and internet sites. It is noteworthy that a descriptive-analytical method is used in this research. Since there is no research with the same title and subject, it can be interesting and useful work for those who want to study in this field. The current article discusses the problems that arise from letter-based pronunciation by considering the consequences between letters and sounds, some exceptions in letters or spelling, and inflectional morphemes.
