With the US election happening this year, you might be hearing lots of news stories about Trump’s campaign and Harris’s campaign. The possessive S after Trump is pronounced as [s], Trump, Trumps, whereas it’s pronounced as [iz] after Harris, Harris’s. Why is that? We have unvoiced sounds in English, which are sounds that don’t make your throat vibrate. For example, /p/or /t/. Usually, if a noun ends with an unvoiced sound, then we pronounce the possessive S as the unvoiced [s]. So, we say trumps. But what about Harris? Listen to these sounds. /s/, /dʒ/, /ʃ/, /tʃ/, /z/, /ʒ/. They all make the possessive S become /iz/. For example, Harris’s, Harris. But how do you write Harris’s, Harris’? Watch part one to find out.

英語には、喉を振動させない音である無声音があります。例えば、/pや/t/です。
通常、名詞の最後が非母音で終わる場合、所有格のSを非母音の[s]と発音します。
