Ned Nott and Sam Shott






Ned Nott was shot and Sam Shott was not.
So it is better to be Shott than Nott.
Some say Nott was not shot.
But Shott says he shot Nott.
Either the shot Shott shot at Nott was not shot,
Or Nott was shot.
If the shot Shott shot shot Nott, Nott was shot.
But if the shot Shott shot shot Shott,
Then Shott was shot, not Nott.
However, the shot Shott shot shot not Shott, but Nott. (5)

[o: ]

Definition, [o: ] is back, open (narrow variant), rounded, long.

Articulation. The tongue is in the back part of the mouth. The back of the tongue is raised to a half-open position. No con­tact is made between the rims of the tongue and the upper teeth. The mouth is less open and the lips are more rounded than for the vowel [o]. This vowel may occur in any position in a word, e.g. ought, born, talk, before, uniform.

 

Possible Mistakes. IV Russian students of English can easily replace the English [o: ] by the Russian [o]. In this case the tip of the tongue should be withdrawn from the lower teeth. The body of the tongue should be kept lower in the back part of the mouth. The back of the tongue is not raised too high. Though the lips are well rounded they should by no means be protruded.

2. Sometimes Russian students of English replace the monophthong [o: ] by the diphthongoid the beginning of which is closer and much more rounded. It is an initial [y]-type of glide. Not to make this mistake the monophthongal nature of [o: ] should be insisted on. 3. If the vowel [o: ] is not checked and short enough in stressed closed syllables with a strong voiceless consonant at the end it is advisable to cut it off by the following consonant.



 

[o: ]

A warm hot water bottle.

What do you want hot water for? (6)

 

Paul snores worse than a horse.

We close the doors when he snores.

There ought to be laws to prevent such snores. (7)
