Description
This article explores the phonetic features of English
loanwords, focusing on how English adapts foreign words to fit its own
phonological system. It highlights key phonetic modifications such as vowel
changes, consonantal adaptations, stress shifts, and syllabic adjustments, using
examples from languages like French, German, Spanish, and Japanese. The
article explains how English speakers modify foreign sounds, such as nasal
vowels, trilled consonants, and unfamiliar syllable structures, to make the words
more pronounceable within the English framework.
