This Is Chickenfits: the Effect of Pronunciation On Writing

Ho Mian Lian

Nanyang Technological University Singapore

This study identifies the specific features of pronunciation that exert a strong influence on the written communication of students in a tertiary institution in Singapore. These features include conflation of certain vowels and consonants, non-distinction between voiced and voiceless consonants, different placement of stress on syllables of words, use of glottal stops and the deletion of consonants, particularly those in final position of consonant clusters. Some pedagogical implications are discussed.
