A fonética e a fonologia da língua inglesa tratam da
produção e organização dos sons, incluindo a tonicidade
das palavras e os padrões de entonação. Acerca deste
tema, registre V, para as afirmativas verdadeiras, e F,
para as falsas:
(__) O fonema presente em "think," é uma fricativa dental desvocalizada (voiceless), enquanto o fonema presente em "this," é uma fricativa dental vocalizada (voiced).
(__) O fenômeno do "schwa" é o som vocálico mais frequente em inglês, ocorrendo exclusivamente em sílabas tônicas para garantir a clareza da pronúncia acadêmica.
(__) A entonação descendente (falling intonation) é o padrão típico de perguntas interrogativas iniciadas por pronomes "wh-" (quem, onde, por que), em contextos neutros.
(__) Palavras heterônimas, como "record" (substantivo) e "record" (verbo), diferenciam-se fonologicamente pela posição do acento tônico, que recai na primeira e na segunda sílaba, respectivamente.
Após análise, assinale a alternativa que apresenta a sequência CORRETA dos itens acima, de cima para baixo:
(__) O fonema presente em "think," é uma fricativa dental desvocalizada (voiceless), enquanto o fonema presente em "this," é uma fricativa dental vocalizada (voiced).

During a professional development workshop, experienced
English teachers debated the unpredictability of the
relationship between English orthography and phonology.
The discussion centered around words such as psychology,
though, enough, colonel, and rhythm. These lexical items
exemplify phenomena such as silent consonants, irregular
vowel representations, and the lack of a transparent
grapheme‑to‑phoneme correspondence. For instance,
psychology demonstrates the silent from its Greek origin;
though and enough illustrate the multiple realizations of the
grapheme ; colonel reveals a deep etymological shift, where
spelling no longer mirrors sound; and rhythm exemplifies
the complexity of syllabic nuclei, since it has only one
vowel letter but more than one syllable. The pedagogical
challenge, therefore, lies in enabling learners to understand
these irregularities explicitly rather than relying solely on
exposure, which often results in fossilized errors.
About the text and based on the phonetic/phonological
aspects of the English vocalic and consonantal systems,
judge the following items.
In colonel, the letters are not pronounced, and the
actual phonological realization is /ˈkɜrnəl/.

Text 1– The Black Cat (Edgar Allan Poe)
Pluto– this was the cat’s name– was my favorite pet and
playmate. I alone Blank I him, and he attended me wherever I
went about the house. It was even with difficulty that I could
prevent him from following me through the streets.
Our friendship lasted, in this manner, for several years, during which my general temperament and character– through the
instrumentality of the Fiend Intemperance– had (I blush to confess it) experienced a radical alteration for the worse. I Blank II,
day by day, more moody, more irritable, more regardless of the
feelings of others. I suffered myself to use intemperate language
to my wife. At length, I even offered her personal violence. My
pets, of course, were made to feel the change in my disposition.
I not only neglected, but ill-used them. For Pluto, however, I still
retained sufficient regard to restrain me from maltreating him, as
I made no scruple of maltreating the rabbits, the monkey, or even
the dog, when by accident, or through affection, they came in my
way. But my disease grew upon me– for what disease is like
Alcohol!– and at length even Pluto, who was now becoming
old, and consequently somewhat peevish– even Pluto Blank III
to experience the effects of my ill temper.
