Hi again,
YS: He may not need to associate different sounds
but he will need to have some kind of understanding of the missing vowels.
JCR: Just how does our knowledge of vowels help us
distinguish the meanings of 'book' in the following
examples?
I love this book. I've read it 20 times.
I'd like to book a room please.
Also I made a mistake in the last post. I should have
asked 'how many of these variants would fit the context'
and not 'how many these homonyms'. Sorry for any
confusion I may have caused.
