<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">The
Occupational English Test (OET) is an international English language test that
assesses the language proficiency of health care professionals who seek to
register and practise in an English-speaking environment. The test is recognised
by several authorities in countries like Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, the
UK, Namibia and Singapore. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">On the OET’s
<a href="https://www.occupationalenglishtest.org/">website</a> we read that this test “provides a valid and reliable assessment of all
four language skills — listening, reading, writing and speaking — with an emphasis
on communication in healthcare professional settings”.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">We also find
that a <a href="https://prod-wp-content.occupationalenglishtest.org/resources/uploads/2018/05/31235107/Vidakovic-and-Khalifa-2013-Stakeholders-Perceptions-Research-Notes-54.pdf?x78010">2013 study</a> by Cambridge English Language Assessment highlighted that
success at OET is a good indicator of workplace readiness in terms of language
proficiency: </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">“OET test
takers found that the relevance to their professional contexts of test topics
and content […] made them feel confident about their ability to communicate
effectively with patients, carers, and colleagues”. </span><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">Because having
good communication skills is a vital part of any health care professional’s
job, and since the OET is a test “with an emphasis on communication”, one
wonders why the exam’s official Facebook page has this post on the
pronunciation of “difficult” medical words:</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PpY5BYCt2pw/W7iyBc61g-I/AAAAAAAABf4/15H3cT-aK_c4SNeDQHLsXRO0Rv8Mq-fsACLcBGAs/s1600/OET.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="963" data-original-width="750" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PpY5BYCt2pw/W7iyBc61g-I/AAAAAAAABf4/15H3cT-aK_c4SNeDQHLsXRO0Rv8Mq-fsACLcBGAs/s320/OET.jpg" width="249" /></a></div>

<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">Surely, OET educators and trainers should know that their students need to master the pronunciation(s)
of a great number of medical terms: teaching learners to avoid using a technical term
because it is hard to pronounce is not going to help them at all. Words like <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">seizure</i> are going to crop up very often
in conversations in clinical settings, so students <u>must</u> know how to pronounce
it and also, must be able to recognise it in running speech. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">Seizure</span></i><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;"> is one of a list of 100 words I give at the very beginning
of my two medical English pronunciation books, <a href="http://alex-ateachersthoughts.blogspot.com/2014/02/my-book.html"><i>L’inglese medico-scientifico: pronuncia e comprensione all’ascolto</i> (EdiSES, 2014)</a> and <a href="http://alex-ateachersthoughts.blogspot.com/2014/09/new-book.html"><i>Health Care Professionals Speaking </i>(EdiSES, 2015)</a>, as a way to exemplify the
pronunciation of the sound <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ʒ</b>:</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">Phonetically speaking, I really don’t see why <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">seizure</i> would be a
“difficult” word. Clearly, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">spasm</i> (GB <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ˈspazəm</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ˈspazm̩</b>; GA <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ˈspæzəm</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ˈspæzm̩</b>) cannot
be considered to be any easier to pronounce. Quite the contrary. It contains the
tricky consonant cluster <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">sp-</b> at the
beginning and the problematic sequence <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">-zəm/-zm̩</b>
at the end. For some non-natives these clusters can be quite hard to say. Think
of Spanish speakers, for example, who, because their language has no onset
clusters with initial /s/ and no coda clusters with final /m/, might come up
with pronunciations like <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">*eˈspazn/*eˈspazn̩/*eˈspazən</b>:
utterly incomprehensible for English native speakers! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">If you are a
medical professional and you need to speak English at work, it is essential that you acquire a
knowledge of phonetics and phonology. This might avoid you putting your
patients at risk and ultimately getting you into trouble <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">—<span style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif;"> </span></span>clearly something
that <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-3295259/Globetrotting-Italian-doctor-English-poor-needed-interpreter-banned-practising-medicine-Britain.html">Dr Alessandro Teppa</a> should have been aware of before starting practising

<a href="http://www.yek.me.uk/index.html">Jack Windsor Lewis</a> has written to ask the following:</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">

</span>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">“… I’ve been exposed to quite a bit of medical terminology and found the need to
guess at various pronunciations. Just one is irritatingly difficult to decide
on: how is ‘<a href="https://beta.nhs.uk/medicines/bisoprolol/">bisoprolol</a>’ to be pronounced? Could you please put me out of that
misery?”</span></span></blockquote>
</div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">Here is my
answer:</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">My <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Oxford Dictionary of Nursing</i> (2014, 6<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>
edition; OUP) offers ‘by-soh-<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">proh</b>-lol’
(p. 61), IPA <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ˌbaɪsəʊˈprəʊlɒl</b>. This
seems to be the pronunciation preferred by health care professionals in
Britain. In AmE, however, other variants are used, among which you find <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">bɪˈsoʊproʊlɑːl</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">bɪˈsoʊproʊlɔːl</b> and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">bɪˈsoʊproʊloʊl</b>,
or — less commonly — <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ˌbɪsoʊˈproʊlɑːl</b>,
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ˌbɪsoʊˈproʊlɔːl</b> and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ˌbɪsoʊˈproʊloʊl</b>. Have a look at <a href="https://www.google.it/search?biw=1600&bih=778&ei=-6zNWvOHHsPBgAaF3aQI&q=bisoprolol+youtube&oq=bisoprolol+youtube&gs_l=psy-ab.3...8205.9682.0.10192.14.7.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..14.0.0....0.TiCMNOBJ_zY">these videos here</a>. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">The pronunciation
of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">bisoprolol</i> is comparable to that
of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">metaprolol</i>/<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">metoprolol</i>, that you can read about in <a href="http://alex-ateachersthoughts.blogspot.it/2016/04/drugs_28.html">this blog of mine here</a>. </span><br />

recordings of the practice material by a male speaker from Wokingham, Berkshire
(15 hours) and a female speaker from Petersfield, Hampshire (another 15 hours),
and transcriptions of all the practice material. The 30 hours of practice

Nicholson (picture left) is an experienced accent coach qualified by the
International Phonetic Association and a member of both the Voice and Speech
Trainers Association and the DialectCoaches Agency. Besides holding an IPA
certificate, he has a BA in German Studies and Italian Studies from the
University of Birmingham and an MA in Acting – Distinction in Voice and in
Articulation. He has taught English pronunciation to people from over 65
different countries, including Bahrain, Ethiopia, Holland, Iran, Italy,
Malaysia, Russia, Serbia, Thailand, Venezuela and Zimbabwe. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Segoe UI",sans-serif; margin: 0px;">He recently
launched an <a href="https://improveyouraccent.co.uk/course/">online British English pronunciation course</a> which includes in-depth
information on the vowel and consonant sounds of English as well as the main features
of connected speech, stress, rhythm, intonation and voice quality. You can take
a look at the contents page <a href="https://improveyouraccent.co.uk/contents.pdf">here</a>. The course is just excellent and a wonderful
resource for anyone with an intermediate/advanced level of English who’s interested
in improving their pronunciation as well as their listening skills. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Segoe UI",sans-serif; margin: 0px;">The course
starts with six introductory lessons. After completing them, you’re immediately
directed to the language guides section of the course, where you can choose
your native language and study the sounds that will make the biggest
differences to your accent. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Segoe UI",sans-serif; margin: 0px;">What is so
helpful about this course is that it also contains numerous relevant links to
native speakers to listen to, as well as suggestions of TV shows and films to watch.
Additionally, the learner has clear guidance about how to practise, how to know
if they’re making a sound accurately, and how to incorporate new sounds into
everyday speech. Here’s <a href="https://youtu.be/eb-aYpSwyrY">one of the videos</a> from the course about the schwa
vowel. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Segoe UI",sans-serif; margin: 0px;">Luke is also
the author of two carefully planned and extremely useful freely available sound
charts: the <a href="http://improveyouraccent.co.uk/consonant-chart/">consonants chart</a> and the <a href="https://improveyouraccent.co.uk/vowel-chart/">vowels chart</a> of Standard Southern British
English (= General British). These are clickable charts which enable you to
listen to recordings of the sounds of English as spoken by the author himself. At
the bottom of the charts one finds questions about phonetic symbols and the
realization of certain sounds to which detailed answers are provided which the
reader will find extremely useful. Another highly recommendable resource for
students (and teachers!) of British English pronunciation. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Segoe UI",sans-serif; margin: 0px;">Congratulations,
Luke! <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

can see to the right is called <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="http://www.zanichelli.it/ricerca/prodotti/scientific-english">Scientific English</a></i> and was brought out by Zanichelli in 2007. It is essentially a
guide containing tips and resources for those Italians who want to know more
about how to write scientific papers in English. It deals with abstracts,
journals, keywords and phrases commonly used in medical English, as well as with oral presentations. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">The book also
claims to provide some guidelines on the pronunciation of 'technical terms',
though the section devoted to this subject is reduced to a mere 10 lines. Have a
look at the bottom of page 153, under "Pronuncia" ('pronunciation'):</span></div>

of this manual is to provide the reader with information concerning the correct
use of Standard English in a scientific context. For this reason, we do not
give any indication as to how words are pronounced. Rather, we focus our attention
only on the written language since <i>we believe that if you mispronounce a
word during a presentation, your native-speaker English audience will in all
probability forgive you for doing that</i> [my highlighting]. There are,
though, two aspects of English pronunciation which you must bear in mind: 1) <i>z</i> is pronounced [zi:] in AmE but [zed]
in BrE; and 2) in telephone numbers, 0 is pronounced like the letter <i>o</i> in BrE but <i>zero</i> or <i>o</i> in AmE.')</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">This is just
absurd! How could the author have possibly written this?! </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">I’ve been
teaching English phonetics to health care professionals both at the University of Tor Vergata and the Nursing Board of Rome (OPI) for several years now and I know how vital it is
for my students to be able to master pronunciation in English. My experience
with doctors and nurses has also led me to write two books on the importance of
English pronunciation in medical science. Please see my <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="http://blogjam.name/?p=10246">L’inglese medico-scientifico: pronuncia e comprensione all’ascolto</a> </i>(EdiSES,
2014)<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i>and my<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> <a href="http://alex-ateachersthoughts.blogspot.it/2014/09/new-book.html">Health Care Professionals Speaking</a> </i>(EdiSES, 2015).

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 13px; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "segoe ui" , sans-serif; margin: 0px;">An excellent example
which illustrates the fallacy of the author's argument and highlights the crucial
role English pronunciation plays in the science sector, is provided by
Professor <a href="http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/wells/">John Wells</a> in his book <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><a href="http://cup.linguistlist.org/academic-books/sounds-interesting-observations-on-english-and-general-phonetics/">Sounds Interesting</a></i> (CUP, 2014; pp. 86-87):</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Segoe UI",sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Some days
before the UK’s EU referendum, Cambridge Dictionaries Online published an
article on their blog <i><a href="https://dictionaryblog.cambridge.org/">About Words</a></i>
entitled <i><a href="https://dictionaryblog.cambridge.org/2016/06/22/european-union-in-or-out-the-language-of-the-uks-referendum/">European Union – in or out? The language of the UK’s referendum</a></i>. The article, written by lexicographer <a href="https://dictionaryblog.cambridge.org/liz-walter/">Liz Walter</a>, is essentially aimed at teachers and students of EFL who want to
improve their knowledge of the language or use classroom material that is
‘original’. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Segoe UI",sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Segoe UI",sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The passage
Cambridge offer online is extremely useful for foreign learners of English, and
I thought it might be a good idea if readers could be provided with a (mainly)
phonemic transcription of it as well. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

you’ll find below is the full text of the article linked to above completely
transcribed in IPA, representing the way <i>I
</i>would pronounce it myself in <i>General
British</i> (GB) and using the symbols found in the new edition of Alan
Cruttenden’s <i><a href="http://alex-ateachersthoughts.blogspot.it/2014/04/mpsnz-prnntsien-v-l.html">Gimson’s Pronunciation of English</a></i> (2014, Routledge). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

you see here to the left is called <a href="https://www.sperling.it/libri/inglese-per-viaggiare-in-21-giorni-massimo-de-donno" target="_blank"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Inglese per viaggiare in 21 giorni</i></a> (Improve your English <span style="font-family: "segoe ui", "sans-serif";">on the move</span> in 21
days.). It has just been published by Sperling &<span style="font-family: "segoe ui", "sans-serif";"> </span>Kupfer (ISBN
978-88-200-5978-1, 228 pp.) and costs 12,90 euros. The authors, Massimo <span style="font-family: "segoe ui", "sans-serif";">D</span>e
Donno, Giacomo Navone and Luca Lorenzoni, are not linguists or phoneticians but
public speaking experts. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="" style="font-family: "segoe ui", "sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The book,
aimed at Italians intending to understand and communicate clearly and
successfully with native English speakers, is divided into 21 chapters which
deal mainly with how English is spoken in the UK and around the world. The
authors describe the pronunciation of RP – as they still call it –, Scottish
and Irish English, American English, South African, Australian and New Zealand
English. They do so by providing transcriptions in IPA (as well as in a kind of
simplified 'phonetic' spelling system) of all the words
and expressions that they present. Symbols and their use are discussed at pp.
38-48. The book also has a <a href="http://www.inglesein21giorni.it/">companion website</a> which, at the time of writing,
contains no resources related to it. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="" style="font-family: "segoe ui", "sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The three
authors must have written the book in a hurry because the whole work is riddled
with <span style="font-family: "segoe ui", "sans-serif";">inaccuracies</span> and false statements. It is not just a question of possible
typing errors or misprints such as <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">jeləu</b>
(<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">yellow</i>) instead of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">(ˈ)jeləʊ</b> (p. 59) or <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">teik advais</b> (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">take advice</i>) instead of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">teɪk
əd(ˈ)vaɪs</b> (p. 66). What we have here is <span style="font-family: "segoe ui", "sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "segoe ui", "sans-serif";">serious</span> mistakes</span> about the 'phonemic spelling' of English words as well as phonetics in
general. There isn't a single page which doesn't contain at least one <span style="font-family: "segoe ui", "sans-serif";">error</span>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

population (p. 3). This is totally untrue. Please read <a href="http://www.yek.me.uk/archive45.html#blog443">here</a>. As you can see,
the transcriptions for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">learn</i>, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">see</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">blue</i> are wrong: in GB <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">learn</i>

<span lang="" style="font-family: "segoe ui", "sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The book

[sic] (p. 117) and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">yod-dropping</i> (p. 207).
For the latter, the authors provide a chart showing the 'loss' of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">j</b> in Australian English:</span><br />

It's exactly what I should have recommended any Italian-speaking member of any of the health care professions to search for if they wanted a truly authentic and up-to-date guide to the kinds of expressions that English-speaking doctors and nurses etc use every day in the practice of their profession. Not only do the dialogues ring completely true as examples of the way such professionals express themselves in terms of choice of words and grammatical usages but the author has supplied his realistic spoken texts with invaluable accompanying versions in modern simple phonetic spellings which are colloquial in style so that he shows clearly examples of the variations and adjustments to context that he prepares his readers to find that words may undergo in ordinary daily speech. He even includes, for those who may be interested to observe them, simple indications of the kinds of rhythms and intonations that typically accompany the use of the idiomatic speech that he represents. It seems very difficult to imagine any medical situations that his wide range of excellent typical texts do not supply models for.</i></b></span></div>

Il testo, scritto secondo una logica conversazionale, è arricchito da clip sonore scaricabili gratuitamente dal sito dell'editore. Ogni conversazione è trascritta foneticamente utilizzando i simboli dell'Alfabeto Fonetico Internazionale (IPA). Tale arricchimento fonetico rende il testo unico nel panorama mondiale di settore e dimostra la cura e la dovizia di particolari riguardo l'elaborazione fonetica e sintattica dello stesso. In ogni analisi conversazionale presentata nel testo, inoltre, i termini tecnici e le espressioni particolari sono sottolineati ed evidenziati per una loro migliore comprensione.</i></b></span></div>

interesting information concerning (Standard) Italian connected speech, as
when, for example, at its page 64, the word <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">cioè</i>
(<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">that is (to say)</i>) is given both one
of its citation forms <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ʧɔˈɛ</b> and its
extremely common 'reduced' forms <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ʧɛ</b>,
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ʃɛ</b>. Also, on pages 96-97, the author
discusses the often neglected phenomenon of stress shift in expressions like <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">lunedì scorso</i> (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">last Monday</i>), for which, in addition to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">luneˈdi ˈskor(t)so</b>, Italians can be heard to produce <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ˈlunedi ˈskor(t)so</b>, even though this

former. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

current (British) English pronunciation is appallingly described as being

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">u</b> and by the secondary Cardinal Vowel
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ʌ</b>. Of course, this is absolutely
untrue. A linguist ought to know that the Cardinal Vowels
are <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">not</i> the vowels of a particular
language. They're "an abstract measuring system – nothing more and nothing
less", underlines phonetician Patricia Ashby in her first-class book <a href="http://alex-ateachersthoughts.blogspot.it/2011/11/il-figlio.html"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Understanding Phonetics</i></a> (2011, p. 85;

is totally incorrect. I wonder if Mr Maturi has ever heard of pre-fortis

English vowels are shortened preceding a fortis consonant. See, for example,
this post of mine <a href="http://alex-ateachersthoughts.blogspot.it/2014/06/horses-and-whores.html">here</a>. Also, the phonemic symbols <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ɔ</b> and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ɔː </b>that our author
uses are completely misleading and wrong: the vowels in GB <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">cord</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">cod</i> are not just
distinguished by their length but also by their quality. They're two different
sounds (normally transcribed respectively as <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ɔː</b> and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ɒ</b>), so they can't
be allotted the same place in the vowel diagram (p. 135): </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "segoe ui" , "sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I'm afraid
Pietro Maturi here is confusing phonemes with allophones: the symbols <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">aɪ</b> and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">eɪ</b> that he uses are just phonemic. They can't be taken to be

says about <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">a</b> in particular is
incorrect: this sound has been part of GB for a long time now. It corresponds
to what is usually (still) transcribed as <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">æ</b>.
See the new edition of Cruttenden's <a href="http://alex-ateachersthoughts.blogspot.it/2014/04/mpsnz-prnntsien-v-l.html"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Gimson's Pronunciation of English</i></a> (2014; Routledge). </span></div>

which Mr Maturi says, on page 61, is less often used than [<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> ʿ </b>]. Please note that the reversed apostrophe was withdrawn by the

"Standard British". Of course this is absolutely not true! His speech
is indeed British but not 'standard'. It could be better described as
"Regional British English" or – to use Cruttenden's terminology in his

digression… Recently, there has been talk on the web about the use of the
glottal plosive <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ʔ </b>being perfectly
acceptable in today's GB before syllabic <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">l</b>.
See for example <a href="http://pronunciationlondon.co.uk/ipa/uncategorized/sound-of-the-month-glottal-stop/">this article</a> by <a href="http://pronunciationlondon.co.uk/">Pronunciation Studio</a> teacher Maria Kozikowska.
She claims that pronunciations like <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ˈbɒʔl̩</b>
and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ˈlɪʔl̩</b> for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">bottle</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">little</i> are
"now more and more widely acceptable in an RP (= GB) accent". Again
this is blatantly false. Here's what Cruttenden writes on p. 184 of his new <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Gimson's</i>:</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "segoe ui" , "sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Dear
Camilla, the criticism you made is simply unjustifiable. Did you read the title
of <a href="http://blogjam.name/?p=10246">my book</a> before purchasing it? Did you have a look at the contents page on
the <a href="http://www.edises.it/universitario/l-inglese-medico-scientifico-pronuncia-e-comprensione-all-ascolto.html">publisher's website </a>before posting such an uninformed and adverse comment? What exactly do you mean by "la fraseologia e simili"? Are
you sure your English is so good you don't need any help with pronunciation?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-j3Rdi-kk2OE/U841rM1g1jI/AAAAAAAABNQ/L0pgRPRH3qk/s1600/My+book.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-j3Rdi-kk2OE/U841rM1g1jI/AAAAAAAABNQ/L0pgRPRH3qk/s1600/My+book.jpg" /></a><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "segoe ui" , "sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Also, what
you say about the technical terminology and phrases there is totally untrue. My book contains nearly 2,000 examples of words and phrases commonly used in medical science.
Most of them are translated into Italian and all their pronunciations are
carefully explained (including variants not normally found in dictionaries). See
<a href="http://alex-ateachersthoughts.blogspot.it/2014/03/anaesthetists-and-hospitals.html">here</a>, for example, <a href="http://alex-ateachersthoughts.blogspot.it/2014/02/a-couple-of-screenshots-of-my-book.html">here</a>, or see pp. XV-XVI. The latter contain exactly 100 terms, all of
them used in medicine and with their corresponding recorded pronunciation(s).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "segoe ui" , "sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">On the
market there are now all sorts of books on medical and nursing English for Italians (see for instance <a href="http://alex-ateachersthoughts.blogspot.it/2014/07/homophones-and-homographs-in-medical.html">here</a>). Most of these books, though, only contain information about the grammar of English; some include info on the lexis; but <b>none</b>, as far as I know, deal with the pronunciation of medical terms and
expressions. Also, <b>no book in Italy</b> explains to students how to cope with English native speakers' spoken language in the context of medicine.
My book does. </span></div>

coffee break and another, we had the chance to get to know each other and discuss
what to include in the third edition of <a href="http://alex-ateachersthoughts.blogspot.it/2013/02/practical-phonetics-and-phonology-3.html"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Practical Phonetics and Phonology</i></a> as far as Italian pronunciation was concerned. Our
discussions continued on Skype for a couple of months between January and
February 2012. These resulted in the publication in 2013, together with Inger
Mees, of <a href="http://alex-ateachersthoughts.blogspot.it/2013/03/the-vowels-of-standard-italian.html">a fascinating account of the pronunciation of current Italian</a>. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

able to write an article for this book". Well, the dream came true in
2013, thanks to your help (and that of Inger, of course!).</span><br />

I must say it looks top-class, inasmuch as I can judge it through the dense
mist of Italian! You've scored with a most impressive first publication. And
you've hit upon an area where pronunciation is really crucial. After all, for
doctors and their patients it's truly a matter of life and death. […]</span></span></div>

is a piece of work to be proud of. Well presented in all ways, good diagrams,
much pertinent illustrative exemplification, and appropriate translation where
necessary. In about a hundred years from now, Alex, linguistic historiographers
will be searching desperately for extra biographical detail about you – you'll
appear to have risen dramatically on to the early 21st century articulatory
phonetic scene from virtually nowhere!</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "segoe ui" , "sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Nice joke,
isn't it! It plays with the pronunciation of the terms <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">horse</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">whores</i>. In
General British (GB) the former is (phonetically) <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">hɔˑs</b> and the latter <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">hɔːz̥</b>.
(Some General American (GA) might have <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">hoʊɹz̥</b> or <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">hʊ(ə)ɹz̥</b> for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">whores</i>.) As you know, in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">horse</i> the vowel is clipped (= shorter,
pronounced more quickly) because it is followed by the fortis consonant <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">s </b>(hence the symbol <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ɔˑ</b> in the transcription). In <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">whores</i>, on the other hand, the vowel
tends to be longer as it is followed within the same syllable by the lenis <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">z</b>, which is devoiced because it is on
the end of the word and there is no other voiced sound coming after it: <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">z̥</b>. Have a look at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jobvVaekOKA">this amusing YouTube video clip</a>. </span></div>

famous example </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "segoe ui" , "sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">sheep</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">ship</i>: in both words the vowel sound is short(er) because both words
end in the fortis consonant <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">p</b>. Phonetically
speaking, the main difference between the two terms is not so much in the length
of the vowels (they're both clipped) as in their quality: the former is <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">(ɪ)i</b>, the latter <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ɪ</b>. The use of the lengthmark to represent the vowel in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">sheep</i> (= <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">iː</b>) is therefore utterly useless in this case. Jack Windsor Lewis
has already discussed the confusion the use of lengthmarks may cause for EFL
students in <a href="http://www.yek.me.uk/archive47.html#blog465">this article of the 25th of April 2014</a>. In his <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Concise Pronouncing Dictionary of British and American English</i>
(OUP, 1972), now sadly out-of-print, he transcribes <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">sheep</i> as <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ʃip</b> (p. 184)
and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">ship</i> as <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ʃɪp</b> (p. 184).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

</xml><![endif]--><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The term <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">assiduity</i> can be pronounced in all sorts
of ways in General British (GB). It can be said as <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ˌasɪˈʤuːəti ~ ˌasəˈʤuːəti</b> (more formally/in a slightly
old-fashioned way, also <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ˌasɪˈʤʊəti ~ ˌasəˈʤʊəti</b>);
and without yod coalescence, in a more formal and old-fashioned manner, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ˌasɪˈdjuːəti ~ ˌasəˈdjuːəti</b>. (Even more
out-dated/formal are the renderings <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ˌasɪˈdjʊəti
~ ˌasəˈdjʊəti</b>.)</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Other
completely out-of-date variants, which Alan Cruttenden would probably describe as
falling within what he has termed 'Conspicuous General British' (see <a href="http://alex-ateachersthoughts.blogspot.it/2014/04/mpsnz-prnntsien-v-l.html"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Gimson's Pronunciation of English</i>, 2014</a>,
p. 81), have <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">-ɪtɪ</b> or <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">-ɪti</b> as the last two syllables, and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">æ </b>in the first. </span></div>
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> </span> <br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The
corresponding adjective, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">assiduous</i>, can
be <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">əˈsɪdjuəs</b> (compressed, also <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">əˈsɪdjwəs</b>) or assimilated, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">əˈsɪʤuəs</b> (also optionally compressed to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">əˈsɪʤwəs</b>). </span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Unlike GB, in General
American (GA) the only possibilities are <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">əˈsɪʤuəs
~ əˈsɪʤ(</b></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ə)</b></span>wəs</b> for <i>assiduous</i>: yod coalescence in GA is compulsory if, within a word, the
vowel after GB <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">tj</b>/<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">dj</b> is weak, i. e. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">u</b> or
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ə</b>. On the other hand, coalescent
assimilations of the type <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">tj → ʧ</b> and
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">dj → ʤ </b>at the beginning of a stressed syllable before a strong vowel sound, albeit increasingly common in GB, are (still) considered as non-standard in
GA. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">assiduity</i> in GA is normally
pronounced with yod-dropping, that is as <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ˌæsɪˈduːət̬i
~ ˌæsəˈduːət̬i</b> (also, less commonly/more formally, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ˌæsɪˈduːəti ~ ˌæsəˈduːəti</b>). Variants with yod in the third syllable
are also possible, though less frequent: <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ˌæsɪˈdjuːət̬i
~ ˌæsəˈdjuːət̬i</b> (or again <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ˌæsɪˈdjuːəti
~ ˌæsəˈdjuːəti</b>). See, for example, John Wells's <i>Longman Pronunciation Dictionary</i> (LPD), p. 52 and p. 843.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">For some
unknown reason, and to my complete amazement, the <i><a href="http://oaadonline.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/">Oxford Advanced American Dictionary Online</a></i>
(OAAD) includes a pronunciation with<b> </b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">-ˈʤu-</b> (= <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">-ˈʤuː-</b>) for the term <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">assiduity,</i> which all the other
dictionaries I own or use frequently either don't acknowledge or rightly describe as non-GA. See the screenshot

I discuss weak, strong, and contracted forms in 18 pages, namely from p. 110 to
p. 127. To my knowledge, my manual is the only textbook in Italy to deal with
this for the EFL learner/teacher most important topic in such a detailed and thorough way. See below for some screenshots
of pp. 114, 121 and 122. As ever, click on the pictures to enlarge them.</span></div>

includes many more weak forms than in the past, several of which are also exemplified
by sentences/phrases transcribed into GB. Some of the weak forms which now
feature in Cruttenden (2014) and which are not to be found in the seventh

notate nulla di strano? Sì, la trascrizione della parola <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">talcum</i> ('talco'). Ma la <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">l</i>
è veramente 'muta' in questa parola? E la vocale della prima sillaba è realmente <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ɑː</b>? No! Non ho mai incontrato una pronuncia
così strana! Il termine <i>talcum</i> si pronuncia normalmente <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ˈtælkəm</b>, non <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ˈtɑːkəm</b>
come indicato sopra. La pronuncia <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ˈtɑːkəm
