MONOPHTHONG. In
PHONETICS, a
VOWEL whose quality is relatively constant, in contrast to a
DIPHTHONG or
triphthong. Some varieties of English have more monophthongs, some have fewer: in RP there are 12 (as in
see,
sit,
set,
hat,
arm,
got,
saw,
pull,
pool,
cup,
fur, and the first syllable of
ago); in ScoE there are 11, rather differently distributed (as in
say,
see,
sit,
set,
hat/arm,
got/saw,
so,
pull/pool,
cup/fur, and the first syllables of
never,
ago).
