Transcription Tips For Unidentified
- Rule 12
-ed In Adjectives
When ed marks the past tense it is /t/ or /d/, as in Father blessed me /blest/ and He aged well /eɪdʒd/. When the word is an adjective, ed is often /ɪd/, as in a blessed child and aged people.
blessed /ˈbles.ɪd/aged /ˈeɪ.dʒɪd/
Here. Unidentified /ˌʌn.aɪˈden.tə.faɪd/
- 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. Unidentified /ˌʌn.aɪˈden.tə.faɪd/
- 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. Unidentified /ˌʌn.aɪˈden.tə.faɪd/
