Cloze exercise in which two randomly-selected Cardinal vowels have to be described according to the three parameters vowel height, frontness-backness, and lip rounding.
Preview:
Describe the following Cardinal vowels according to the three parameters vowel height, frontness-backness, and lip rounding:
- [e] is the vowel.
- [ɶ] is the vowel.
Describe the following Cardinal vowels according to the three parameters vowel height, frontness-backness, and lip rounding:

- [o] is the vowel.
Describe the following Cardinal vowels according to the three parameters vowel height, frontness-backness, and lip rounding:
- [ʉ] is the vowel.
- [i] is the vowel.
Description:
This cloze exercise randomly selects two out of 18 Cardinal vowels and then uses three single-choice elements each to describe their parameters. It is particularly well-suited for drop-down menus and also illustrates how Unicode symbols can be used for the phonetic transcriptions in the International Phonetic Alphabet (which requires the fontspec package in XeLaTeX for PDF output).
