Sibilant Sounds
su
A sibilant sound which is produced by forcing air out toward your teeth. It is characterized by a
hissing sound (sssss), a buzzing sound (zzzzz) or the sound teachers make when they want you to be
quiet (shhhh!).
ib a

XX Z like the sound a bee makes... zzzzzz

XX S like the sound a snake makes... sssssss
XX SH like the sound a teacher makes when they want you to be quiet... shhhhh
oh tr
a
Now we know the difference between voiced, voiceless and sibilant sounds we can look at the
following rules for the correct pronunciation of S at the end of words in English:
id
s

The pronunciation of the S at the end of words in English

The pronunciation of the final S in plural words and verbs in the third person depends on the final
Pr e

consonant sound before that S.

The ending is pronounced /s/ after a voiceless sound, it is pronounced /z/ after a voiced sound and is
u

pronounced /iz / or /ez/ after a sibilant sound:

XX Voiceless: helps /ps/ -- sits /ts/ -- looks /ks/
XX Voiced: crabs /bz/ -- words /dz/ -- gloves /vz/,
M

XX Sibilant: buses /siz / or /sez /, bridges /dziz / or /dzez /, wishes /shiz / or /shez /

1. The /ız/ sound (or /êz/ sound)

Sometimes this sound is written as /ez/ and uses the symbol "schwa" or "upside down e" before the z.
For ease we will write this sound as /iz/ or /iz/
If the last consonant sound of the word is a sibilant sound (a hissing or buzzing sound), the final S is
pronounced as /iz/. This /iz/ sound is pronounced like an extra syllable. (e.g. the word buses has two
syllables)
If the sound has a J sound (/dz/ like the letter J at the beginning of the word jacket or /z/ like the S in
pleasure), then the final S is also pronounced as /iz/.
23
 Examples of words ending in the /iz/ sound: C: races (sounds like "race-iz")
XX S: pauses, nurses, buses, rises XX CH: churches, sandwiches, witches, teaches
XX X: fixes, boxes, hoaxes XX SH: dishes, wishes, pushes, crashes
XX Z: amazes, freezes, prizes, quizzes XX GE: garages, changes, ages, judges
XX SS: kisses, misses, passes, bosses
Remember: after verbs ending in -sh, -ch, -ss and -x, we add the -es to the end of the verb
(in third person) and the pronunciation is /iz/ as an extra syllable.
2. The /s/ sound
If the last consonant of the word is voiceless, then the S is pronounced as /s/. Be careful not to create
an extra syllable.
NOTE: The consonants c, s, sh, ch and x are voiceless though they use the sibilants ending seen above.
Examples of words ending in the /s/ sound:

a
XX P: cups, stops, sleeps XX F: cliffs, sniffs, beliefs, laughs, graphs (the -gh
XX T: hats, students, hits, writes and -ph here are pronounced like F)
XX K: cooks, books, drinks, walks XX TH: myths, tablecloths, months (voiceless th)

nt
3. The /z/ sound
If the last letter of the words ends in a voiced consonant (or sound), then the S is pronounced like a Z
/z/(without creating another syllable). This Z sound is similar to the sound a bee makes zzzz.

ve
We also use this ending when the word ends in a vowel sound (e.g. bees, flies etc.)
Examples of words ending in the /z/ sound:
XX B: crabs, rubs XXNG: kings, belongs, sings
XX D: cards, words, rides, ends XXR: wears, cures
XX G: rugs, bags, begs XXV: gloves, wives, shelves, drives
L: deals calls, falls, hills Y: plays, boys, says,

Artificial heart
M

The AbioCor artificial heart was first used to

replace a human heart in an operation in 2001.
When functioning, it powers itself, unlike
previous attempts at artificial hearts.

If you analyze this, the heart doesn’t need

intrusive wires that heighten the risk of
infection. However, very few operations to date
have used the hearts.
