Common mistakes of jurisdiction pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some may incorrectly stress the second syllable, pronouncing it as "juˈrisdɪkʃən". The correct stress is on the third syllable: "ˌdʒʊərɪsˈdɪkʃən" (US) or "ˌdʒʊərɪsˈdɪkʃən" (UK). Tip: Focus on emphasizing "dic" more than the other syllables.
- Omitting the "r" sound: A common mistake is to say "judisˈdɪkʃən", dropping the "r". This alters the pronunciation and meaning. The correct form is "ˌdʒʊərɪsˈdɪkʃən". Tip: Make sure to pronounce the "r" clearly.
- Confusing "jur" with "juris": Some learners may pronounce it as "ˈdʒʊərɪs" instead of "ˌdʒʊər". This can lead to misunderstanding. The correct pronunciation is "ˌdʒʊərɪsˈdɪkʃən". Tip: Break it down into syllables: "jur-is-dic-tion".
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Saying "jurisdɪkʃən" instead of "jurisdiction" can happen due to vowel confusion. The correct pronunciation includes the "ʊə" sound. Tip: Practice the "ʊə" sound to differentiate it.
- Adding an extra syllable: Some may mistakenly say "jurisdiction" as "juris-dic-tion", resulting in an extra syllable. The correct form is "ˌdʒʊərɪsˈdɪkʃən". Tip: Remember that "jurisdiction" has only four syllables.
