Transcription Tips For Classification
- Rule 18
a Before s Or ss
When s or ss follows the letter a, the vowel is long. An exception is gas /ɡæs/.
mask /mɑːsk/class /klɑːs/past /pɑːst/
Classification is an exception. It is /ˌklæs.ə.fəˈkeɪ.ʃən/ in British English.

Double Letters
Double letters usually realise one sound. There are some cases where double letters realise two sounds, which usually happens with cc and zz.
letter /ˈlet.ə/bigger /ˈbɪɡ.ə/manner /ˈmæn.ə/
Here. Classification /ˌklæs.ə.fəˈkeɪ.ʃən/
- Rule 3
Mark The Stressed Syllable
When a word has more than one syllable, the primary stress marker must be placed before the stressed syllable. It is wrong to write /lɔː.jə/ without the stress marker.
lawyer /ˈlɔː.jə/
Here. Classification /ˌklæs.ə.fəˈkeɪ.ʃən/
- Rule 7
Stress Mark Replaces The Dot
Do not place a syllable boundary marker where the stress marker appears. /ðeɪ.ə.naʊ.ˈhɪə/ is not acceptable.
They are now here /ðeɪ.ə.naʊˈhɪə/
Here. Classification /ˌklæs.ə.fəˈkeɪ.ʃən/
