Final answer:
The student's question is about phonetic transcriptions in Standard British English (SBE) and General American (GA) for 'go', 'no/know', and 'promotion'. The transcriptions for these words show the differences in vowel pronunciation between SBE and GA.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks for transcriptions in Standard British English (SBE) and General American (GA) for the words go, no/know, and promotion. Transcription refers to the phonetic representation of how words are pronounced in different accents or dialects.
In SBE (also known as Received Pronunciation) and GA, the words can be transcribed as follows:
- go: SBE /ɡəʊ/ and GA /ɡoʊ/
- no/know: SBE /nəʊ/ and GA /noʊ/
- promotion: SBE /prəˈməʊ.ʃən/ and GA /proʊˈmoʊ.ʃən/
It's important to note that while SBE and GA share some similarities in pronunciation, there can be distinct differences in the vowels as depicted in the transcriptions above.
