...English has relatively complicated spelling rules when compared to other languages with alphabetic orthographies. Because of the complex history of the English language, nearly every sound can be legitimately spelled in more than one way, and many spellings can be pronounced in more than one way. Read full entry

Do you think English … so that each letter
represents a sound and each
word can be written in an only
way and read in an only way
too?
That would be especially
useful for kids with
difficulties in learning the
language.

"English Orthography" means how you write it in English spelling. The "s" sound, for example can be written in English as "s" (see) or "c" (peace). The "z" sound can be written as "z" (zoo) or "s" (reason). Note that the English letters "s" and "z" also have various pronunciations. The "zs" sound, for example, can be written as either "z" (azure) or "s" (pleasure). Also, the "sh" sound is sometimes written as "s" (passion). IPA forms are the International Phonetic Alphabet symbols used to represent the pronunciation of words in various languages. The "s" sound would be [s] in IPA and the "z" sound would be [z] in IPA. The example words above would be: see - [si:] peace - [pi:s] zoo - [zu:] reason - [ri:zʌn] azure - [ʌʒʊr] pleasure - [plɛʒʊr] passion - [pæʃʌn] You can learn more about the IPA and the English sound system from these articles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I nternational_Phonetic_Alphabet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I nternational_Phonetic_Alphabet _for_English http://www.omniglot.com/writin g/ipa.htm |

Any good websites on the I'm taking this class in a

different language families,
the orthography and morphology
of Old English, Middle
English, and Contemporary
English, as well as the use
and context of nouns,
adjectives, and adverbs within
Old English, Middle English,
and Contemporary English.
Thanks for you assistance.
