Blog Post #2 - How Do You Say Your Name ?

1. Emily - /ˈɛməli/


2. The first syllable of my name is " ɛm " it has mid-front vowel beginning, ending with a nasal, bilabial, V+ " Mmmm " sound. The next syllable is a mid-central " ə " vowel, which is very different from the E my name begins with because it has an "a" sound. Finally, the last syllable of my name is Liquid, Alveolar, & V+ with another stressed vowel. 


3. My name is Bilabial because in order to pronounce it a person has to use both lips. the second syllable hits the alveolar ridge. Then, instantly comes of the alveolar ridge to pronounce the third syllable. so it would be pronounce " em - uh - lee "
