Phonetics and the IPA 10, Exercise 3: your own transcription There is no single answer. A good solution has these parts: - the accent named (for example RP, General American or Scottish English); - the level stated (broad /slashes/ or narrow [brackets]); - a transcription following the routine, step by step; - a short list of uncertainties, such as: * a vowel you could not place in a lexical set; * whether a consonant was aspirated, flapped or glottalised; * whether connected speech changed a boundary (assimilation, elision, a weak form). Self-check: could someone else repeat your transcription without hearing you? If not, add the missing detail or say which part is a guess.
