One is the “broad transcription”---the transcription with letter-symbols only, and the other is “narrow transcription”---the transcription with letter-symbols accompanied by the diacritics which can help bring out the finer distinctions than the letters alone may possibly do.2. (南开大学2003年考题) Illustrate the term “allophone”with at least one appropriate example.考点分析：考查音位变体概念Answer: Allophones are the different members of a phoneme, sounds which are phonetically different but do not make one word different from another in meaning. For example, in English, the phoneme /l/ is pronounced differently in “let”, “play”and “tell”. The first /l/ is made by raising the front of the tongue to the hard palate, while the vocal cords are vibrating; the second /l/ is made with the same tongue position as the first, but the vocal cords are not vibrating; and the third /l/ is made by raising not only the front by also the back of the tongue while the vocal cords are vibrating.II.判断正误1. （大连外国语学院2000，2001，2002年考题）/o/ is a mid-high front rounded vowel.考点分析：描述和识别基本元音的发音特点Answer: F (/o/ is a mid-high BACK rounded vowel.)2.
