Dear members of Pronsig,

I've been looking for clear diagrams of the tongue positions of Engish vowels - RP, I suppose, or have PC values been mapped (politically correct).  :-) Or perhaps there is something on the Internet. Why? I want to demonstrate to a learner what is nearly visibly involved in the production of vowel phonemes.  I've looked through the classics, but they all seem to go for Cardinal Vowels, better than nothing, but there must be representations of English vowel sounds.

I've rather rudely barged in on this list without introducing myself - simply, I think, because I've always known about the SIG and was a member of it for a y ear or two, but stopped being so when I could not afford to be a member of all SIGs. So, with apologies:

Dennis Newson, first a member of (I)ATEFL in the year it was founded by Bill Lee, and a member on and off over the years. Taught EFL in Africa, Arabia and Norway, and ended up at the University of Osnabrueck in Germany. Taught there until I retired in 2000. I'm on lots of lists and have just rented an office in Second Life. Does anyone know how to build furniture?

Dennis
