Classification of the English vowel phonemes?

English vowel phonemes can be classified into two main categories: monophthongs, which are pure vowels with stable tongue and lip position (e.g. /i/, /ɛ/, /ɑ/), and diphthongs, which are vowels that glide from one position to another within the same syllable (e.g. /eɪ/, /aʊ/, /ɔɪ/). Additionally, English also includes rhotic vowels, where the /r/ sound affects the vowel quality (e.g. /ɜː/ in "her").


Diphtongs and monophtongs in middle English?

In Middle English, diphthongs were vowel combinations that morphed into a single sound during pronunciation, such as "oi" in 'coy' or "eu" in 'beauty'. Monophthongs, on the other hand, were single vowel sounds that maintained their integrity, like the 'a' in 'cat' or the 'o' in 'pot'.


What are the types of vowel sounds?

The two basic types are long vowels and short vowel sounds. -- Long vowels "say their name" and sound like AY, EE, eye, OH, or OO (also YOO). -- Short vowel sounds are ah (apple), eh (get), ih (sit), aah (stop), and uh (rut). There is also a short OO sound, as in good and foot. --- There are special sounds such as the caret O (OR or AW sound) and the OU pair sound (OW), and the OI pair sound (OY) as in coin and boy. The OI sound is created by the sounds O-I-E, blended together. Besides the OR, other vowels also have slightly different sounds when stressed and paired with an R : the umlaut A (car), caret I (ear, beer) and caret U (er and ur). When unstressed, the ar, er, ir, and ur are all schwa sounds that have about the same sound.
