軟音c
ルールの核心
ソフト c とは、文字 c が e・i・y の前に来ると /s/ と発音される規則です。英語フォニックスの中でも再現性が高い重要ルールです。
発音ガイド
/s/ は舌先を上歯茎の近くに置き、触れずに細い隙間を作ります。唇は軽く横に引き、息だけを摩擦させて出します。
語例分析
- accelerate：最初の c は /k/、次の c は e の影響で /s/。
- acceleration：-cel- 部分でソフト c。
- accent：c + e による典型的な /s/ 発音。
注意点
発音が /s/ でも、綴りは c のまま変わらない点に注意。
フォニックス分解
舌先を上歯茎近くに置き、息だけを細く出す。
発音参照
- c の後の母音を必ず確認する
- 派生語で発音変化を意識する
