Question

What is the narrow transcription for the word RULE ​

Answer 1

However, in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), the narrow transcription for “RULE” can be represented as [ɹul].

In this transcription, the symbols used correspond to the following sounds:

[ɹ]: Represents the “r” sound in English, which is a voiced alveolar approximant.

[u]: Represents the “oo” sound in English, which is a close back rounded vowel.

[l]: Represents the “l” sound in English, which is a voiced alveolar lateral approximant.

So, the narrow transcription [ɹul] represents the sounds of “r” followed by “oo” and “l” in the word “RULE” in English.

Answer 2

In narrow transcription, the word "RULE" would be transcribed as /ruːl/. The symbol /r/ represents the "r" sound, /uː/ represents the "oo" sound as in "food," and /l/ represents the "l" sound. The "e" at the end of the word is not represented in narrow transcription since it is not pronounced in the typical pronunciation of the word "RULE."
