What is the phonemic transcription of the word "jump"?

A/dʒʌmp/

B[dʒʌmp]

C[dʒʌmʔ]

D[dʒʌm]

Answer:

A. /dʒʌmp/

Read Explanation:

The phonemic transcription of the word "jump" is:

/dʒʌmp/

  • /dʒ/ → Voiced palato-alveolar affricate (as in "jam")

  • /ʌ/ → Mid-central vowel (as in "cup")

  • /m/ → Voiced bilabial nasal

  • /p/ → Voiceless bilabial plosive

Since this is phonemic transcription, we only include the essential phonemes, not finer phonetic details like assimilation or nasalization.
