Talk a Lot Elementary © English Banana.com 18.39 A consonant cluster is a group of two or more consonant letters together in a word. For example, in the word “brilliant”, “br” is a consonant cluster, as is “ll”, and also “nt”. Consonant clusters are also sometimes known as “consonant blends”. Focusing on consonant clusters and vowel clusters (see p.18.48) is useful if you want to look at some of the differences between spelling and sounds in English words. Consonant clusters can occur at the beginning (an initial consonant cluster), in the middle (a medial consonant cluster) or at the end of a syllable (a final consonant cluster). For example, in the world brilliant – LDÄêfäKà]åíL – which has two syllables, there is a consonant cluster at the beginning of the first syllable (“br”), at the end of the first syllable (“ll”), and at the end of the second syllable (“nt”). They can also occur in the middle of a syllable, for example the consonant cluster “ch” in the middle of the word “ache”. We can include consonant digraphs within the term “consonant clusters”. A consonant digraph is where two consecutive consonant letters in the spelling of a word are used together to make a single sound. For example, in the word “know”, “kn” is a digraph which represents a single sound: LåL=. There are also digraphs which make vowel sounds, for example, in the word “beach”, “ea” is a digraph which represents a single vowel sound: LáWL==(see p.18.48). There are 21 consonant letters in the English alphabet, and 25 consonant sounds in spoken English. Therefore we need some consonant digraphs to represent consonant sounds because there are more consonant sounds than consonant letters. For example, there is no single letter in English that represents the sound LpL . We need to use a digraph – two consonant letters together – and we end up with “sh” to represent LpL . Similarly, there is no single letter that represents the sound LaL . Therefore we need to use a digraph – two consonant letters together – and we end up with “th” to represent LaL . Confusion can occur because the digraph “th” also represents another, different consonant sound: LqL. Part of the reason for the existence of digraphs – where two letters make one sound – is that English is an old language, and over hundreds of years the pronunciation of different words has changed. Some sounds that used to be pronounced in words are no longer pronounced, although the spelling has remained the same. Some used to be pronounced, but aren’t any more. For example, up until the mid-17 th century “knife” was pronounced in Old English as a three-syllable word, with the LâL , the LåL , and the final vowel sound all heard, like this: LâDåfÑK]L . As we have seen in our study of connected speech (see p.11.1), consonants don’t like to rub up against each other, and elision (where we lose a consonant sound) or assimilation (where a consonant sound changes) often occur when two consonant sounds meet, to make the syllable or word easier to pronounce. So it is no surprise then that the longer the consonant cluster, the more difficult it will be to pronounce, and the more likely it will be that either elision or assimilation take place. For example, try saying: “twelfths” out loud. This word crowbars seven different consonant letters into one syllable, which in turn produces six distinct consonant sounds: Lí=ï=É=ä=Ñ=q=ëL ! Another example of a problematic word is “crisps”, which is pronounced: LâêfëéëL . Try to pronounce all of the five distinct consonant sounds (in two consonant clusters) in just one syllable. Tricky!
