Pronunciation & Spelling
没有与 vocalist /ˈvəukəlist/ 完全押韵的常用词。specialist /ˈspeʃəlist/、socialist /ˈsəuʃəlist/、capitalist /ˈkæpitəlist/、naturalist /ˈnætʃərəlist/、nationalist /ˈnæʃənəlist/ 拼写都以 -alist 结尾,是常见形近词,但最后一个音节前的辅音或元音不一样(socialist 的重读元音与 vocalist 相同,但之后是 /ʃ/ 而非 /k/),所以都不押韵。vocal /ˈvəukəl/ 与 vocalist 开头的 /vəuk/ 音相同,但没有 -ist 结尾。
