Speech sounds are divided into vowels and consonants. Vowels are sounds of pure musical tone while consonants may be either sounds in which noise prevails over tone (noise consonants) or sounds in which tone prevails over noise (sonorants).

The single sound of speech is called a phoneme. A phoneme is the smallest undivided unit of a language. There are 44 phonemes in English: 20 vowel phonemes and 24 consonant phonemes.

Unit 2. The Classification of English Vowel Phonemes

A vowel is a voiced sound produced in the mouth with no obstruction to the air

stream. The English vowel phonemes are divided into two large groups: monophthongs and diphthongs.


A monophthong is a pure (unchanging) vowel sound. There are 12 monophthongs in English. They are as follows: [i:], [ɪ], [e], [æ], [ɑ:], [], [:], [u], [u:], [ʌ], [ə:], [ə].


Two of them [i:] and [u:] are diphthongised (diphthongoids).

A diphthong is a complex sound consisting of two vowel elements pronounced so as to form a single syllable. The first element of an English diphthong is called the nucleus. The second element is called the glide (it is weak). There are eight diphthongs in English. They are: [eɪ], [uə], [aɪ], [au], [ɪ], [ɪə], [eə], [əu].



The English monophthongs may be classified according to the following principles:


  1. According to the tongue position

  2. According to the lip position

  3. According to the length of the vowel
  4. According to the degree of tenseness


According to the position of the bulk of the tongue vowels are divided into 5 groups:

  1. front [ɪ:], [e], [æ] and the nucleus of [eə]

  2. front – retracted [ɪ] and the nuclei of the diphthongs [aɪ] and [au]

  3. central [], [ə:], [ə] and the nucleus of [əu]

  4. back [I], [:], [u:] and the nucleus of the diphthong [ɪ]

  5. back – advanced [ɑ:], [u]


According to the height of the raised part of the tongue vowels are divided into 3 groups:

(A) Close or High [ɪ:], [ɪ], [u:], [u]

(B) Open or Low [æ], [ɑ:], [], [], and the nuclei of [aɪ], [au]

(C) Mid – Open or Mid [e], [ə:], [ə], [:] and the nuclei of [eə], [əu]


According to the lip position vowels may be rounded and unrounded.

Rounded vowels are [], [:], [u], [u:] and nuclei of [əu], [ɪ].

Unrounded vowels are [i:], [ɪ], [e], [æ], [ɑ:], [], [ə:], [ə].
According to the length vowels may be long and short.

Long vowels are [i:], [a:], [:], [u:], [ə:]

Short vowels are [ɪ], [e], [æ], [u], [], [], [ə]
According to the degree of tenseness vowels are divided into tense and lax.

All the English long vowels are tense [i:], [ɑ:], [:], [u:], [ə:]

All the English short vowels are lax [ɪ], [e], [æ], [], [u], [], [ə]
As the American and British vowel systems are not identical, two separate tables are provided to illustrate the difference.
