Unlike many features of English pronunciation, the pronunciation of the set of final consonant clusters exemplified by the words tents: tense; bands: bans; acts: axe; and guests: guess (nasal, stop, or sibilant, with or without an additional stop, followed by 1sf or 1 -z/) is not uniformly treated by dictionaries, phoneticians, and writers of ESL texts. These authorities recognize homophonous pronunciations to varying extents and give a variety of recommendations about pronunciation to ESL teachers and learners. But none of these treatments I is adequate. Failure to recognize and teach homophonous pronunciations for these pairs of clusters is based on a longstanding but misguided allegiance to spelling pronunciations. There are, in fact, good reasons for treating the pairs of clusters as homophonous in ESL teaching. I discuss four grounds: linguistic observation, linguistic patterning, linguistic history, and linguistic and pedagogical simplicity. Finally, I claim that the patterns represented by homophonous pronunciations of the pairs should not only be recognized but should also be taught explicitly because doing so helps students to produce final suffixes and thereby to use more grammatical English.
