a) Monophthongs, cr Simple Vowels
Vowels are best of all learnt when the teacher directs-the-attention of the pupils to the position of the tongue and the lips.The description of the vowels should be accompanied by appropriate diagrams o£ the tongue position, because a vowel is "voice modified by different shapes of the supra glottal passages, especially, the mouth and the lips." *
No. I /i:/
The bulk of the tongue is in the front part of the mouth cavity, the space in the back part of the mouth cavity is empty.
The middle and the fore parts of the tongue are raised to the front part of the hard palate, but not so high as in the pronunciation of the Russian /и/.
In the course of the /I:/ articulation the bulk of the tongue may move from a more retracted and low position, to the more front and advanced position. The slight movement of the tongue which results in the instability of the /i:/articulation occurs within the front and high position (narrow variation) of the bulk of the tongue.
"The front of the tongue starts at the /i/ position and glides up and toward the /i:/ position, sometimes^even overshooting it and ending

up in the HI position. Thus, this diphthongoid may be represented in allophonic transcription as follows: [li'J.1
Most RP speakers pronounce this sound as a stable vowel. Its idiolectal variation—a narrow diphthongal glide (in open syllables, before lenis and nasals) is considered as "vulgar" and many educated speakers attempt to avoid it. /i:/ can be defined as:
I. unrounded;
II. front (a) fully front, high;
(b) narrow variation of the high position of the tongue;
III. tense;
IV. long;
V. monophthong.
In the English I'v.f articulation the tongue is tense, the side rims of it make> firm contact with the upper teeth. The lips are spread. The Russian /и/ is pronounced with the almost neutral position of the lips.
Care should be taken not to confuse the English J'v.I with the Russian faf.
пил — pi:l рис — rees низ — niece сил — seal чик — cheek
In the pronunciation of /i:/ its positional length should be ob-served: the longest in the open position, shorter in the position before a voiced consonant, the shortest before a voiceless consonant, cf. bee — bead — beat.
