I want to know why /ɹ/ is defined as a consonant. I was told that it is consonant because it has a point of articulation and manner of articulation, but in vowels we have articulators, such as the tongue and lips. So what's the difference? And what is this difference in the phoneme /ɹ/?

[@SanDiegoVoiceandAccent]

Hi - Thanks for your question! The answer to this is a bit too detailed to include in a comment. I'd be happy to go into more detail with you during a live English class at English Pro Live: courses.sandiegovoiceandaccent.com/bundles/english-pro I hope to see you at a live class soon!

[@perplexed76]

So if r in the middle of the word we anyway move the lips forward? America, photography, panorama, industry?

[@SanDiegoVoiceandAccent]

Thanks for your question! Yes, the lips should round and move forward when pronouncing the R sound, at the beginning, middle, or end of the word. At the end of word, however, the lips may not round as much if that syllable is unstressed. I hope this helps! :)

"cares, shares, fears, bears, tears Airs dares"is "r" vowel or consonant in these word? Please make video with these word.

[@SanDiegoVoiceandAccent]

Thanks for your question! I've published videos on the R-colored vowels, which you can watch here: kzbin.info/aero/PLPGW9qP3ws5pPxo-SLJ4kQYwJ9s-SzEqF I hope this helps!

[@DWS2023-uy3yx]

What's the difference between /ɝ/ and /ɹ/?

[@SanDiegoVoiceandAccent]

Hi DWS2023 - thanks for your question! These two sounds, /ɝ/ and /ɹ/, sound the same (they both sound like "er") and are pronounced in nearly the same way. But here are the differences: The /ɝ/ IPA symbol represents the "er" sound when it is an R-colored vowel, like in the words bird, hurt, and circle. The /ɹ/ IPA symbol represents the "er" sound when it is a consonant R, like in the words really, bread, and truck. The lip placement is also slightly different: /ɝ/ usually uses lips that are flared out, while /ɹ/ uses lips that are rounded in a tighter circle. I hope this helps! :)

[@thisaint_it]

My tongue doesn't want to do the bunched R and it can't stop flapping in Retroflex. I think it's xenophobic and set in its ways.

[@SanDiegoVoiceandAccent]

Hi Sharon - Haha ;-) Thanks for your comment - it made me laugh a little!

[@gamerextremo4944]
