PHONETIC DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ENGLISH AND UZBEK VOWEL SOUNDS
Abstract
This study examines the phonetic and phonological differences between the vowel systems of English and Uzbek. Although both languages utilize vocalic distinctions to convey meaning, they differ in terms of vowel inventory, vowel length, diphthongization, and the presence or absence of vowel harmony. These differences pose specific challenges for second language learners and carry implications for pedagogy in phonetics and language acquisition.
