ng音
ルール探究
英語の ng 音は /ŋ/ と表記される軟口蓋鼻音で、日本語には存在しない独立した音です。n と g を別々に読むのではなく、一つの音として処理されます。語流の中では、音節を柔らかく閉じる役割を担い、英語特有のリズムを生み出します。
発音ラボ
舌先は下げ、舌の奥を軟口蓋に近づけます。空気は鼻から抜け、破裂は起きません。/n/ との最大の違いは舌の位置です。
語彙散策
according や accounting の語尾では、/ŋ/ が文法的な合図として働きます。aging では舌根の甘さが /n/ 化を招きやすい点に注意しましょう。
注意点
ng を /ング/ と読まないことが最大のポイントです。
上級編
/ŋ/ を正確に使えると、英語の抑揚が自然になります。
