  1. Scale of vowels

    A scale of vowels is an arrangement of vowel s in order of perceived pitch . A scale used for poetry in American English lists the vowels by the frequency of the second formant the higher of the two overtone s that define a vowel sound . Starting with the highest, class IPA wikitable Help IPA for English vowel example i key e cane a kite kit ken cat cur cut cot a cow coy caught, core could o coat u cool, cute In technical terms, this listing goes from front vowel s to back vowel s. It is by no means precise enough for phonology . For one thing, the sounds with IPA or IPA as the second symbol are diphthong s, during which the formants change. Also, many American accents and practically all from other countries will require different lists. Nonetheless this scale has been used in poetry. For instance, one can identify lines that generally go upward&mdash O love, be fed with apples while you may Robert Graves or downward&mdash When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom d Walt Whitman A pendeka from the Greek language Greek for fifteen is a poem containing each of the above vowels once. The following example, which goes up the scale, is intended strictly as a mnemonic. Mood no good, brought voice Down, not up, perhaps Ends with&mdash Hi, baby Not to be confused with The high and low frequency vowels described here are not the close vowel high vowels and open vowel low vowels of linguistics . Those are vowels where the tongue is high as in cool and key or low as in car respectively. Also, this scale is not the sonority hierarchy .
