Task 10.
Many learners of English tend to release and aspirate final stops too
heavily: for example, book [k
h
], hit [t
h
], spot [t
h
]. To overcome this tendency it’s
necessary to understand how vowel length is connected with pronunciation of
final voiceless/voiced consonants. Study the basic sound environments, in which
accommodation regularly occurs and formulate the rules, governing it. Can you
make your contribution to the list of accommodation patterns?
