Question

Difference between R.P and GIE consonants system

Answer 1

Explanation:

are pronounced as in RP. GIE speakers normally make use of clear /l/ in almost all positions as against other varieties which use clear /l/ in sylla- ble-initial positions and dark /l/ in coda and syllabic positions. In comparison to consonants, GIE vowels have lesser peculiarities when compared to RP vowels.

Answer 2

Received Pronunciation or RP is the instantly recognizable accent often defined as ‘typically British’. The concept of GIE or General Indian English asserts Pan-Indian characteristics in the spoken English in India

Explanation:

The difference between RP and GIE are,

1. Rhoticity (pronunciation of the historical R-like sounds or rhotic consonant/r/):  RP is non-rhotic and phoneme/r/ is pronounced in RP when it is immediately followed by a vowel sound; whereas GIE has only one phoneme
2. RP has a gliding vowel  ( a combination of 2 adjacent vowel sounds in the same syllable) or diphthongs, whereas GIE has 2 pure vowels (a vowel that is pronounced with more or less unvarying quality, and does not glide up or down) or monophtongs.
3. GIE are less centralised and closer than RP
4. RP uses open back vowels ( vowel sound used in some spoken languages) whereas GIE uses more of front vowels (vowel sounds used in some spoken languages)
