Common mistakes of incorrigible pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable as in "in-COR-rigible" /ɪnˈkɔːrɪdʒəbl/ (UK) or /ɪnˈkɔrɪdʒəbl/ (US). Tip: Remember to stress the third syllable, "rig," for correct pronunciation.
- Overemphasizing vowels: Some may pronounce "incorrigible" with exaggerated vowels, making it sound like "in-corr-i-gi-ble." This can lead to confusion. Tip: Focus on a smooth flow, keeping the vowels short and clear.
- Ignoring the "g": A common mistake is to omit the "g" sound, pronouncing it as "in-cor-rid-able." This alters the meaning. Tip: Ensure the "g" is pronounced clearly as /dʒ/ in "rig."
- Shortening the final syllable: Some may pronounce "incorrigible" as "in-corrig-ble," dropping the "i." This can make it sound incomplete. Tip: Always include the final "i" sound to maintain the word's integrity.
- Confusing similar words: Learners often mix up "incorrigible" with "incurable," leading to miscommunication. Tip: Pay attention to the unique sounds and syllables in "incorrigible" to distinguish it clearly.
