    Unit 1
    Basic Concepts Syllables Stress & Rhythm

    In this unit we are going to learn some basic concepts in English pronunciation We are going to learn something about syllables stress and rhythm in English At the same time we are going to learn to say greetings and farewell with appropriate pronunciation and intonation in English

    First of all let’s look at the syllable in English
    Please listen to the following word driveway
    Now tell me how many syllables there are in this word Right There are two
    Please listen to the following sentence Drive him away
    Tell me how many syllables there are in this sentence Right There are four

    Introduction
    So What is a syllable
    A syllable is a word part and the basic unit of English rhythm English words can have one two three or even more syllables In the word driveway’ there are two syllables In the sentence Drive him away’ there are four

    What is a stressed syllable
    In English words with more than one syllable one of them will receive more stress than the others Stressed syllables are those that are marked in the dictionary as stressed For example in the word driveway’ the first syllable is a stressed syllable while the second syllable is not
    Stressed syllables in English are usually longer louder and higher in pitch
    Listen to the following example
    ba NAAAA na
    Syllable 1 Syllable 2 Syllable 3
    (short) (long) (short)
    The word banana has 3 syllables Syllable 1 is not stressed and so is short Syllable 2 is stressed and so is long with a clear vowel sound B Syllable 3 is not stressed and so is also short
    Here is a short summary about the stressed and unstressed syllables
    Stressed syllables are strong syllables Unstressed syllables are weak syllables
    Stressed syllables
    are long
    have a pitch change
    have full vowel sounds
    Unstressed syllables
    are short
    often have a reduced vowel sound

    Now let’s look at the rhythm in English
    We all know that correct pronunciation of the individual English sounds is important in communication The way the sounds are organized however is often more crucial for understanding The rhythm of English for example is one of the two major organizing structures that native speakers rely on to process speech
    What is rhythm
    Rhythm can be found everywhere in life the sound of a clock the beating of the heart the strokes of a swimmer and of course in poetry and music But rhythm in language is less familiar because it is less obvious The rhythm of a language is characterized by the timing pattern of successive syllables In some languages every syllable is given about the same length while in others syllables vary in length In English strong beats are called stress the heart of the rhythmic pattern

    Unit 2
    Consonants Stops

    In this unit we will learn the stop consonants in English
    The stop consonants are made by completely stopping the airflow at some point in the mouth and then for most productions releasing it into the sound that follows There are six stops in English p and b are formed by the lips t and d are made on the gum ridge behind the upper teeth and k and g occur at the back of the mouth where the tongue makes a weal with the soft palate p t k are voiceless stops as they are not accompanied by vibration from the larynx while b d g are the voiced stops These stops are among the most frequent sounds in English and have fairly consistent spellings

    p and b

    You pronounce the p and b by stopping the airstream with you lips building up pressure and suddenly releasing the air They can be used at the beginning middle and end of words The following are some of the allophonic variations of p and b

    Allophonic variations of p

    Allophone Occurrence Example

    [pH] Aspirated release in initial word and stressed positions poke
    [p] Unreleased in word final position top ten
    [p ] Unaspirated release in clusters esp after s spot
    [p] Lengthening when an arresting p is followed
    by a releasing p Stop Pete
    [p(] Nasal release before a syllabic nasal Stop him

    Allophonic variations of b

    Allophone Occurrence Example

    [b] Unreleased in word final position rob
    [b] lengthened when an arresting b is followed
    by a releasing b Rob Bob
    [b(] Nasal resonance before a syllabic nasal Rob him

    t and d

    The t sound is one of the most frequent in English and occur in all three positions at the word level It has many variations and is a very interesting and productive sound in the language d is not as frequent in English nor does it have the number of varieties that t has You pronounce them by blocking the airstream with the tongue and upper gum ridge building up air pressure and suddenly releasing it The following are some of the allophonic variations of t and d

    Allophonic variations of t

    Allophone Occurrence Example

    [tH] Aspirated release in word initial and stressed positions tape
    [t] Unreleased in word final position coat
    [t ] Unaspirated release in consonant cluster esp with s stop
    [t0] Dentalized before P eighth
    [t(] Nasal release before a syllabic nasal button
    [R] Flapped intervocalically letter
    [] Glottal stop before syllabic [n] or [l] button
    [t] Lengthening when an arresting t is followed
    by a releasing t let Tim
    [tSr8] Affrication of initial position tr train

    Allophonic variations of d

    Allophone Occurrence Example

    [d9] Dentalized before an interdental width
    [d] Unreleased in word final position dad
    [ dél ] Bilateral release with l padlock
    [d(] Nasal release before a syllabic nasal bread'n butter
    [R ] Flapped intervocalically ladder
    [d] Lengthening when an arresting d is followed
    by a releasing d sad Dave
    [d3r] Affrication of initial position dr drain

    k and g

    You produce k and g by blocking the breathstream with the back of the tongue and soft palate building up the pressure and suddenly releasing it The hardc as in cat and the letter k account for most of the spellings of k but there is also a silentk in words such as know and knight The spelling of g is consistent in English although there is a silent version in words such as gnash and gnat Both k and g can occur at the beginning middle and end of words in English The following are some of the allophonic variations of k and g

    Allophonic variations of k

    Allophone Occurrence Example

    [kH] Aspirated release in word initial and stressed positions keep
    [k] Unreleased in word final position take
    [k] Unaspirated release in consonant cluster esp with s sky
    [k] Lengthening when an arresting k is followed
    by a releasing k take Kim
    [k(] Nasal release before a syllabic nasal beacon
    [ kél ] Bilateral release with l clock
    [c] or [k] Assimilated to a front sound keen
    [] Glottal stop before syllabic [n] bacon
    [k¤¤¤¤¤] Rounded before a rounded sound quarter

    Allophonic variations of g

    Allophone Occurrence Example

    [g] Unreleased in word final position and some clusters flag
    [g] Lengthening when an arresting g is followed
    by a releasing g big grapes
    [gél ] Bilateral release before l glad
    [g(] Nasal release before a syllabic nasal pig and goat
    [ï] or [g] Assimilated to a fronted sound geese
    [g¤¤¤¤¤] Rounded before a rounded sound goose

    Pronunciation difficulties

    The English stops do not generally cause an intelligibility problem among the Chinese EFL learners but some learners may devoice final position voiced stops so that tab may be pronounced as tap code as coat and lig as lik Lengthening the vowel before the voiced stops will aid in the perception of a voiced final stop i in need for example is usually a little bit longer than i in neat when they are in similar phonetic contexts Another difficulty with the Chinese EFL learners is the pronunciation of the stops in consonant clusters Drill the sounds in all positions paying close attention to the strength of production and the degree of voicing

    Consonants Fricatives and Affricates

    This is Unit 3 In this unit we are going to learn two groups of consonants fricatives and affricates At the same time we are going to learn how to describe an object and to learn how to talk about one’s job with appropriate pronunciation and intonation in English

    Introduction
    What do you know about fricatives and affricates in English
    Well if the stops completely block the airstream for a time in the pronunciation the fricatives only partially block it thus causing the frictionlike noise characteristic of these sounds There are nine fricative consonants forming the largest set of consonants in English
    tF and dV are affricate sounds which you produce by blocking off the breathstream between the tongue and gum ridge for a stop and a fricative The term affricate means blend in this case consisting of a stop and a fricative tF and dVare the two English affricates and they differ primarily in terms of voicing

    f and v
    f and v are labiodental sounds f is voiceless and v is voiced They are fricative sounds that you produce by forcing the breathstream between you upper teeth and lower lip They can be used at the beginning middle and end of words
    f is not a problem sound for most of the students but v may sometimes cause problems It may substitute for another bilabial such as w or a bilabial b may be substituted for v There is also a tendency to devoice v especially at the ends of words

    W and T
    W and T are interdental sounds They are fricatives that you produce by squeezing the breathstream between your tongue and teeth W is voiceless and T is voiced These sounds tend to appear relatively late in the speech of children and cause considerable stress for both native and nonnative speakers of English Although the spelling seems to be highly consistent in English the fact is that the th combination is used for both W and T They can be used at the beginning middle and end of words
    The problem with W are many and varied A dentalized [t] occurs when there is insufficient breath support With a f or s substitution the problem is not with airflow but with placement This sound will require considerable effort to stabilize in all contexts The problem with T is quite similar With insufficient airflow a dentalized [d] will occur Placement difficulties result in a v or z substitution Devoicing may also be a common problem since English orthography uses the letters th for both W and T The following steps are useful in the pronunciation drill for these two consonants
    1 Look in a mirror and say the [W] sound
    2 Make sure you can see the edge of your tongue protruding between your teeth Say [W] again
    3 Say the [W] sound over and over again Don't move your tongue between sounds
    Try the following
    [W] … [W] … [W] … [W] … thin
    [W] … [W] … [W] … [W] … thanks
    [W] … [W] … [W] … [W] … thought
    The same method can be applied to the practice of [T] sound

    s and z
    s and z are alveolar sounds They are fricatives that you produce by forcing air between your tongue and the upper or lower front teeth s is voiceless and z is voiced s is one of the most useful sounds in English because it has an important grammatical function in forming possessives (Kate's) third person singular present tense verbs (sits) and plurals (seats) Although z is not as frequent in English speech as s it performs similar grammatical functions in marking possessive (Susan's) third person singular present tense verbs (runs) and plurals (dogs) Both s and z have been ranked as the most troublesome sounds in English but it is rarely a serious problem for the Chinese EFL learners once their grammatical roles are mastered They can be used at the beginning middle and end of words
    With s and z the main problem comes from the omissions which may result from grammatical deficiencies (plural possessive and so on) or from a failure to pronounce the ends of words The devoicing of final position z may be helped by lengthening the preceding vowel In the word prize for example many speakers of English devoice the final z but lengthen the diphthong

    F and V
    F and V are linguapalatal fricatives You produce them very much like the s and z except the tongue is farther back and the lips are rounded F is voiceless and V is voiced F is not a particularly common sound in English or the languages of the world but can be learned quite easily V is the least frequent of the consonants in English and is not common in the world's language F can be used in initial medial and final positions in words but V is not found in wordinitial position in English words
    With F and V lip rounding is very important For example you can get F by making s first then move the tongue body a little backward then say it again with rounded lips

    h
    h is a voiceless glottal fricative It is simply a stream of air from the larynx directed through the open mouth It is not found in wordfinal position in English words
    h is not generally a problem sound but some learners may use a voiceless velar fricative [x] as a substitution which sounds more like a Chinese (h) in the pronunciation of 喝 (h) meaning to drink

    tF and dV
    tF and dV are affricate sounds which you produce by blocking off the breathstream between the tongue and gum ridge for a stop and a fricative The term affricate means blend in this case consisting of a stop and a fricative The tF is a blend combined of [t] and [F] it starts out as a [t] stop and then the tongue moves into the position for [F] The dV is a blend of [d] and [V] it starts out as a [d] and then the tongue moves into the usual position for [V] Both tF and dV can occur in initial medial and final positions in words
    tF and dV are fairly easy to perceive at normal conversational levels The overall strength of production is important for tF because weakening leads to a [F] substitution dV is less tense than tF but it is still made with considerable strength Weakening may lead to a [V] substitution Lip rounding will help to stabilize the sound

    Unit 4
    Nasals Approximants & Lateral(s)
    In this unit we will learn Nasals approximants and lateral(s) in English
    Like the stops the nasals are all made by closing the vocal tract at some point in the mouth Unlike the stops or any other sounds in the language there is an opening into the nasal cavity in the pronunciation so that the sound can be resonated through the nose The nasal consonants are m n and N
    w r and j are called approximants because it is an articulation in which the articulators approach each other but do not get sufficiently close to each other to produce a complete consonant such as a stop nasal or fricative
    l is called a lateral because during its pronunciation the passage of air through the mouth does not go in the usual way along the centre of the tongue
    m n & N
    m and n are simple straightforward consonants the m occurs at the front of the mouth and is grouped with the labials the n is produced on the upper gum ridge and is alveolar The place of articulation of N is the same as that of k and g It is made with the back of the tongue touching the soft palate If we compare nasals with stops fricatives and affricates we will find that the nasals present quite a different picture in that they have some vowellike qualities they can be syllabic Both m and n can occur in initial medial and final position in words N however never occurs in wordinitial position
    Most Chinese EFL learners have no problems with m and N For n however it is necessary to check for a l substitution because in some Chinese dialects [n] and [l] serve as free variants
    Allophonic variations of m
    Syllabic something
    Lengthened when an arresting m is followed by a releasing m some more
    The labiodnetal nasal when followed by f comfort
    Allophonic variations of n
    Dentalized before a labiodental f or vinvite
    Velarized before k or g think
    Syllabic button
    Lengthening when n arrests and releases adjoining syllables ten names
    Allophonic variations of N
    The alveolar [n] when followed by an alveolar taking ten
    Syllabic lock and key
    w and j
    w and j are similar in several ways First they are closely related to a vowel sound j is similar to the vowel i and w is very much like the vowel u Because of this they are also called semivowels Secondly neither j or w will ever occur in wordfinal position in English Thirdly they are both voiced consonants In pronunciation for j the lips are relaxed and the tongue is in the high front space for w the lips are rounded and the tongue is in the high back space Then there is a movement away from these positions to whatever sound which follows The more modern term for j and w is approximant which is an articulation in which the articulators approach each other but do not get sufficiently close to each other to produce a complete consonant such as a plosive nasal or fricative
    j and w are not problem sounds for most Chinese EFL learners except it is necessary to emphasize the fact that the pronunciation of w requires considerable lip rounding
    r
    r is the other approximant besides j and w in English The important thing about the articulation of r is that the tip of the tongue approaches the alveolar area in approximately the way it would for a t or d but never actually makes contact with any part of the roof of the mouth During the pronunciation the tongue is in fact usually slightly curled backwards with the tip raised
    r is a difficult sound for many Chinese EFL learners The difficulties mainly come in two ways Some use the (r) sound in Chinese Putonghua such as (rì) 日 as a substitution which sounds more like a fricative than an approximant The substitution of a flapr which sounds more like a l than r is also common among the learners Experience show that it is helpful to stress the necessity of the slight liprounding in the pronunciation of the sound
    Now try to make a long r sound and feel that no part of the tongue is in contact with the roof of the mouth at any time
    Allophonic variations of r
    Devoiced as in voiceless clusters treat
    The onetap flap r very
    The retroflexed r right
    The back r before or after k or g crate grey
    l
    The fact that the l phoneme is typically produced with potential air flow around one or both sides of the tongue makes it unique among English speech sounds It is also highly variable in terms of its articulation Several important variations exist In pronunciation you produce it by dropping the sides of the tongue and allowing air to escape around the sides
    l is also one of the English speech sounds that often causes trouble for Chinese learners Check for the typical substitution of r or n Another important fact about l is the difference between the two distinctive allophones clearl and darkl
    Allophonic variations of l
    Syllabic bottle
    Clearl made with the tongue in the classical fronted position lease
    Darkl (the tongue tip and blade in the post alveolar position) call

    附 点重点难点
    Unit 5
    Front Vowels & Central Vowels
    In this unit we will learn the front vowels and central vowels in English
    Vowels are sounds in which there is no obstruction to the flow of air as it passes from the larynx to the lips There are 20 vowels in English among which 12 are pure vowels and 8 are diphthongs The English pure vowels can be classified according to
    1) the height of the raised part of the tongue
    2) the part of the tongue raised and
    3) the position of the lips ie whether they are rounded or unrounded
    There are four front vowels in English i I e and A The reason these are called front vowels is that the tongue body is shifted forward causing the vowels to be produced in the front of the mouth In addition the front vowels may be subdivided into those that are high (or close) like i and I mid like e and low (or open) like A For the two vowels in the high front space i and I the tongue is close to the hard palate Likewise for the low vowel A the tongue is nearly flat and the lower jaw more open than for the other front vowels
    There are two central vowels in English з and E They are called central vowels because they tend to be produced at a point midway between the front and back vowels and between the high and low vowels
    It has become traditional to locate vowels on a foursided figure The following is a description of the four English front vowels and two central vowels



    i

    e




    i & I
    i is a very common sound in the world's languages It is made by raising the body of the tongue from its rest position and shifting it forward The I sound is made by lowering the tongue slightly from the highfront position for i Besides i is a much more tense sound than I The fact that English has these two high front vowels differentiated by muscle tension in the root of the tongue sets it apart from Chinese and many languages of the world Both i and I can occur in initial medial and final position in words
    Very little difficulty should be encountered by the Chinese learners in the pronunciation of i but I is a problem sound It is easy for the learners to detect the difference in length What counts here however is the difference in quality It is therefore important to point out the fact that to pronounce a correct I you need to
    1) lower you tongue a little bit from the position for i and
    2) make it a lax sound instead of a tense sound like i
    The importance of correct pronunciation of I lies in the fact that it is the second most frequent vowel in English
    e & A
    e is also an English vowel with high frequency of occurrence The tongue body is shifted forward in the midplane A is produced by shifting the body of the tongue forward from its relaxed state and lowering it from the position for e It is the lowest of the front vowels e and A do not occur in final position in English words
    e and A are not really problem sounds for the Chinese learners but many of them fail to make a clear distinction between the two in their speech The difficulty is that they have to make the clear distinction consistent
    з & E
    з and « are central vowels з is made with the tongue in the approximate middle of the mouth It occurs only in stressed syllables E is also called a schwa It is made similarly to з but with less tension E is the most frequently used vowel in English Both з and E may occur in all three word positions
    Most learners do not have problems in the pronunciation of з and E still we need to give special attention to the schwa The problem with the schwa may not generally be in production but in knowing when to use the sound No other vowel with the exception of the other reduced vowel I is as important to an understanding of the English sound system and the way it functions in unstressed syllables

    Unit 6
    Back Vowels
    In this unit we will learn the back vowels in English
    There are six back vowels in English The back vowels are produced by shifting the body of the tongue back from its central position The tip of the tongue remains at the level of the lower teeth The front and back vowels have several features in common as well as some differences Unlike the front vowels that are made with a fairly neutral lip posture four of the back vowels are rounded The back vowels may also be subdivided into those that are high (u and J) mid (R and ɒ) and low (B and Q) The following is the description of the six English back vowels


    J
    U
    U
    R

    C
    Q


    ɒ
    Q
    B


    u and J
    u and J are both high back rounded vowels The u marks the highest boundary for the back vowels as i does for the front vowels Therefore the tongue is retracted from its rest position and raised toward the soft palate This vowel is quite common in the languages of the world and appears without problem in most Chinese learners Along with u J completes the vowels in the high back space on the vowels chart Its corresponding front vowel is I When making the sound the tongue is retracted as for u but not elevated to the same extent In addition the J vowel is not made with as much tension in the root of the tongue as u The same tenselax contrast is also seen for i and I This sound is not found very frequently as a phoneme in the languages of the world certainly not in Chinese Putonghua In English it is not very common despite the fact that it appears in some frequently used words such as should good and book u occurs at all the three positions of a word while J occurs only in the middle position of a word like book and hook To ensure correct pronunciation it is important to make the following distinction between u and J
    1 u is the highest back vowel so the raised part of the tongue for u is higher than that for J
    2 the part of the tongue raised for J is not as back as that for u
    3 u has quite strong lip rounding while the lips are only slightly rounded for J

    R & ɒ
    R is a midback vowel For its production the tongue is retracted and almost flat in the mouth The vowel is almost fully back and has quite strong liprounding ɒ is a low vowel The lips are slightly rounded ɒ is a difficult vowel for the Chinese learners Many of them use a shortened version of R as its substitution To ensure correct pronunciation it is important to make the following distinction between these two vowels
    1 ɒ is a low vowel while R is a mid vowel so the mouth is more open for ɒ
    2 R has quite strong lip rounding while the lips are only slightly rounded for ɒ

    B & Q
    The B is made by lowering and flattening the tongue in the oral cavity It is a low vowel but not as back as other back vowels in English Q is quite different from other vowels in this group in that it is more like a central vowel than a back vowel (see the vowel chart) Q is made with the tongue in the approximate middle of the mouth perhaps shifted back slightly It is lower than the other central vowels з and Q The lip position is neutral It is important for the learners to make a clear distinction between B and Q in their pronunciation

    Unit 7
    Vowels Diphthongs

    In this unit we will learn the diphthongs in English
    There are eight diphthongs in English Diphthongs are sounds which consist of a movement of glide from one vowel to another Perhaps the most important thing to remember about all the diphthongs is that the first part is much longer and stronger than the second part Take aI as an example Most of this diphthong consists of the [a] vowel and only in about the last quarter of the diphthong does the glide to [I] begin As the glide to [I] happens the loudness of the sound decreases As a result the [I] part is shorter and quieter The English diphthongs can be shown in the following diagram (P69)

    Diphthong

    centring closing


    ending in E ending in I ending in J



    IE eE JE eI aI RI EJ aJ

    The following is a description of the eight English diphthongs (70)

    IE eE JE

    IE eE JE are called centring diphthongs because they all glide towards the [E] (schwa) vowel as the symbols indicate The starting point for IE is a little closer than [I] in bit bin eE begins with the similar vowel sound as the [e] of get men JE has a starting point slightly closer than [J] in put pull

    eI aI RI
    eI aI and RI the three diphthongs that glide towards [I] eI begins with the same vowel sound as the [e] of get men aI begins with an open vowel which is between front and back it is quite similar to the [Q] in words like cut bun The starting point of RI is a little more open than [R] in ought born The closing diphthongs have the characteristic that they all end with a glide towards a closer vowel Because the second part of the diphthong is weak they often do not reach a position that could be called close The important thing is that a glide from a relatively more open towards a relatively more close vowel is produced

    EJ aJ
    EJ aJ are the two diphthongs that end with a glide towards [J] So as the tongue moves closer to the roof of the mouth there is at the same time a rounding movement of the lips This movement is not a large one again because the second part of the diphthong is weak The vowel position for the beginning of EJ is the same as for the schwa vowel [E] The lips may be slightly rounded in anticipation of the glide towards [J] for which there is quite a noticeable liprounding aJ begins with a vowel similar to [B] but a little more front There is slight liprounding during the glide towards [J]

    Pronunciation difficulties with the diphthongs
    Most Chinese EFL learners have little problem with most of the diphthongs but the following two are particularly important to ensure correct pronunciation
    1 Make sure that you have a correct starting point For example I« start with an [I] which is neither [i] nor [I] It is a sound which is a little bit closer than I in big
    2 Make sure that the diphthongs end with a glide One of the problems with some of the learners is the production of pure vowels where a diphthong should be pronounced For example some learners find it difficult to make a clear distinction between e and eI

    Unit 8
    Stressed Syllables & Unstressed Syllables

    In this unit we will learn more about stressed syllables & unstressed syllables
    We now have a general view of the sounds in English We know how important correct pronunciation is to successful communication We also learned a little about the fact that we need to master other important aspects of the spoken English in order to achieve successful communication Stress and rhythm are two essential elements
    Every time you dance sing or clap your hands you emphasize or stress particular beats or sounds In speech stress may be defined as the degree of intensity of loudness placed on a sound that is the amount of force one puts on a syllable or word to give it importance Stress is such an important feature of spoke English that it determines not only the rhythmic flow of words but also the quality of the vowels Correct word and sentence stress in spoken English can mean the difference between good communication and no communication at all
    Three types of stress can be found in English primary secondary and zero The term primary stress refers to the strong emphasis a speaker puts on the most important syllable of a particular word Secondary stress refers to a less strong emphasis on the next most important syllable Zero stress refers to any syllable that receives no stress and it is also called unstressed syllable In other words an unstressed syllable receives no intensity or loudness at all The frequent occurrence of unstressed syllable is one of the fundamental characteristics of spoken English and the one that most distinguishes English from Chinese
    A stressed syllable may contain any one of the vowel sounds except the schwa but any vowel except the diphthongs aJ and RI can be reduced to E or I In spoken English there are many more unstressed syllables than there are stressed syllables This explains why the two vowels E and I are the most frequently used vowel sounds in spoken English

    Unit 9
    Stressed Words & Unstressed Words in a Sentence

    In this unit we will learn how to pronounce stressed and unstressed syllables together in sentences
    We have made some general observations regarding the location of stress in isolated words But since speech is made up of words strung together we must also look at these words in groups in phrases or in sentences in order to observe what happens to the stress pattern Sentence stress refers to the word or words in sentence that receive a strong accent In most sentences you will find a series of both stressed and unstressed words
    In a sentence English speakers joint stressed and unstressed syllables together smoothly Stressed syllables are long have a pitch change and have full vowel sounds while unstressed syllables are short and often have a reduced vowel sound A reduced vowel sound is a short unclear vowel sound The short vowel sound in unstressed syllable is very often the sound E which is the most common of all sounds in English
    Now say the following words
    leader
    lecture
    marker
    These words all contain the schwa E in the second syllable Try to pronounce it as a relaxed and easy sound And since it is in the weak syllable E is much shorter than the vowel in the stressed syllable
    Any English vowel letter can be pronounced with the schwa E
    allow a
    firemen e
    possible i E
    command o
    support u

    What to stress in a sentence
    In an English utterance stressed words give information to the listener and unstressed words join the information words together Correct pronunciation of stressed and unstressed words is thus extremely important for effective communication in English
    Information words and function words
    Information words are usually nouns verbs adjectives and adverbs They give information about who what when where why and how They express the main idea or content of the phrase or sentence They carry the message and therefore usually stressed Unstressed words are usually function words like articles pronouns possessives prepositions auxiliary verbs and conjunctions These words connect the information words to form grammatical sentences
    If you stress all the words in an utterance you may sound unpleasant or even cause misunderstanding because
    1 You are giving too much information and
    2 English speakers usually stress all words only when they are impatient or angry

    Unit 10
    Strong Forms and Weak Forms

    In this unit we will learn strong forms & weak forms two different ways of pronouncing the word
    In unstressed syllables we often come across the short unclear vowel « which is the most common of all sounds in English This same sound also occurs in many of the function words when they are unstressed
    Strong forms and weak forms
    As we all know many function words in English have two pronunciations a stressed form (or strong form) and an unstressed form (or reduced form weak form) The unstressed form is thus an alternate pronunciation of a word which is so reduced in its articulation that it consists of a different set of phonemes E is the most frequently used vowel in the unstressed form and next comes I
    The importance of learning unstressed forms
    Two reasons are said to be most important in learning to use the unstressed forms in English Firstly most native speakers of English find an allstrong form pronunciation very unpleasant Secondly learners who are not familiar with the use of weak forms are likely to have difficulty understanding native speakers

    Linking

    In this unit we will learn the various types of linking in English speech
    Linking is such a common phenomena that if you pronounce each English word separately when you speak without linking English speakers may not understand you You may also have problems in comprehension of the native speech
    What is linking
    When speakers of English are speaking they arrange words into groups and join together the stressed and unstressed words within the group They move smoothly from one word to the next without making any sudden stops So when we listen to their speech we hear the end of one word flow straight into the beginning of the next This phenomena of joining words together is called linking
    How to link words in English speech
    Speakers of English join words together by blending or joining the last sound of a word with the initial sound of the following word Following are the various ways to help you achieve the linking so that your speech will become fluent and natural
    1 To blend or join the final consonant of one word with the initial word of the following word as in post office
    2 To link the final vowels з and E to a following vowel by adding the r sound which is called linkingr as in her own or intrusiver as in the idea of
    3 To make smooth transitions when words are separated by more than two consonants ie treat them as consonant sequences as in next topic
    4 To make smooth transitions when the preceding word ends with a vowel and the following word begins also with a vowel sound by adding a slight j or w as in my arm
    5 To change the pronunciation of some final and initial consonants as in Did you …
    Linking is natural in English speech To make natural linking it is important to say groups of words in one breath and keep your voice going from one word to the next

    Unit 12
    Rhythm of English Speech

    In this unit we will learn the rhythm of English speech
    Every language in the world has its own rhythmic patterns English is very different from Chinese in its rhythmic patterns From what we learned in the previous units we know that English depends on the correct pronunciation of stressed and unstressed or weakened syllables recurring in the same phrase or sentence in the expression of ideas In another word variation of words or syllables that have strong stress with those that have weaker or reduced stress is typical and contributes to the rhythm of English When English speakers are speaking therefore they usually
    ◎ make some parts of words stronger and clearer than other parts
    ◎ join parts of the words together
    ◎ arrange words into groups and join them together
    ◎ make some words stronger and clearer than other words
    If a Chinese EFL learner fails to follow the rules and say all English words in a sentence in a strong way English speakers may
    ◎ not understand what he says or
    ◎ think that he is impolite or angry
    Misunderstanding may arise or communication may break down because of that
    So for more effective communication we need to master the rhythm of English
    In conclusion rhythm in English speech is based on stress A rhythm unit is formed by a stressed syllable together with unstressed syllables which may come before that stress andor after it Here are some examples
    Tom John Steve Sam
    Thomson Johnson Steven Samson
    Thomson and Johnson and Steven and Samson
    Thomson and then Johnson and then Steven and then Samson
    Letters in bold here represent stressed syllables The beat is marked with a You can hear a beat on the stressed syllable When you are practising you can even tap your hands to keep the rhythm of the above phrases It is therefore the rhythm pattern of an English sentence that the stressed syllables follow each other at roughly equal intervals of time
    Let’s look at the pairs of word phrases and sentences on page 130 in your textbook
    Black or white It was black and it was white
    soft and light It's soft and it's light
    Dan and Sue It was Danny and it was Susie
    bread and milk Some bread and some milk
    Get a purse Get us her purse
    a dark room It was dark in the room
    cold winter It was cold in the winter
    On the left hand side column we see sentences or phrases with three syllables among which two are stressed On the right hand side column there are four to nine syllables in each of the sentences We notice however it takes about the same length of time to say each pair of these phrases and sentences because the number of syllables may vary but the number of stressed syllables are the same
    To achieve this similar length of time we have to adjust the length of words according to the context The stressed information words are usually long specially when there are few or no function words between them When there are function words between the strong stresses English speakers make them very short so they fit between the stresses by
    1 reducing the vowels (using the weak vowel or schwa for example)
    2 linking words together and
    3 squeezing the words together and say them quickly
    Look at some more examples Each of the following sentences is made up of four stressed content words The content words are underlined and the stressed syllable of these words are in bold The number of unstressed syllables between the stressed syllables is different from two to four In normal speech however the stressed syllables follow each other at roughly equal intervals of time So each phrase in the following sentences takes about the same length of time to say
    1 Do you think you would be able to finish it in a month
    2 She said that she would like us to take it away
    3 He turned to the left at the end of the street
    4 I shouldn't have thought that she could appreciate the approach

    Unit 13
    Types of Intonation in English
    In this unit we will learn types of intonation in English
    We call the melody of language intonation Intonation refers to the total pattern of pitch changes ie the rising and falling of the voice when a person is speaking within an utterance Intonation is another important element of spoken English It is the English intonation which makes English sound really English
    Intonation makes speech meaningful English intonation adds the meaning of an utterance in two ways
    A It shows the relationship of words within and between sentences
    B It tells something about the feeling of the speaker
    In other words different pitches may indicate different meanings for the same utterance Different pitches help us express our feelings happiness sadness surprise annoyance anger and so on In listening to the meaning of an utterance therefore we listen to how speakers talk as well as to what they say The HOW and WHAT together give us the meaning of an English utterance
    We now see the importance to use the appropriate intonation patterns when we speak Otherwise we may be sending messages using intonations that contradict what we want words to say Intonation patterns that disagree with the content of the utterance may indicate doubt sarcasm or confusion
    Basic intonation patterns
    English has two basic intonation patterns rising and falling When they go together they can make a fallingrising tone
    Look at the following Example
    a) Is &John in
    No John's (not in
    b) Is &John in
    No (John's ¬ in
    Is John is has rising intonation The pitch of the voice goes up at the end of the utterance The speaker is asking a question No John's not in in a) has falling intonation The pitch of the voice goes down at the end of the utterance The speaker is answering a question No John's not in in b) has fallingrising intonation The pitch of the voice goes down first and then goes up at the end of the utterance The speaker is answering a question with implication such as John's not in but his wifesisterbrother is

    Types of intonation patterns we have to learn
    English can very well be spoken correctly and naturally with the three intonation patterns falling rising and fallingrising

    附 点重点难点

    Unit 14
    Intonation Units of English
    In this unit we will learn something about intonation units of English
    Intonation units are also called intonationgroups tone groups or toneunits An intonation unit usually corresponds to a sense group (or word group) An intonation unit may contain several syllables some of them stressed and some unstressed The last stressed syllable is usually a marker of the highest importance and has the focus stress On this syllable there takes place a change of pitch either an upward or downward movement or a combination of the two
    Nucleus of an intonation unit
    A nucleus refers to the syllable in an intonation unit which carries maximal prominence For example this is the normal way of saying the following sentence
    I am WRIting a LETter to him NOW
    There are ten syllables in this sentence among which three are stressed syllables The last stressed syllable is NOW So we say that NOW has the focus stress and is the tonic syllable and therefore is the nucleus of the intonation unit The nucleus is the essential part of the intonation unit It is still present even if the unit consists of a single syllable as is the case with many sentence words like yes no why etc
    Tail Head & Prehead of an intonation unit
    Any syllable or syllables that may follow the nucleus in an intonation unit are called the tail In the sentence I am WRIting a LETter to him the nucleus of this intonation unit is on the tonic syllable LET There are three unstressed syllables after the nucleus These syllables are called the tail of this intonation unit
    The part of an intonation unit that extends from the first stressed syllable up to the nucleus ia called the head of the intonation unit In the sentence I am WRIting a LETter to him the head of this intonation unit is made up of three syllables writing a
    Any unstressed syllable or syllables that may precede the head or the nucleus if there is no head are called the prehead In the sentence I am WRIting a LETter to him I am comprises the prehead of this intonation unit
    So if you analyze the following sentence we will come up with the structure of an intonation unit like this


    I am WRIting a LET ter to him
    P H N T
    P Prehead
    H Head
    N Nucleus
    T Tail

    Following are the possible structures of an intonation unit

    Structures of an intonation unit

    P H N T We are learning a foreign language
    P H N I am afraid we can't go
    P N T We hope so
    P N It was at night
    H N T When are they coming
    H N Peter has arrived
    N T Look at him
    N Help

    In conclusion a nucleus
    ◎ is the last fully stressed word in an intonation unit
    ◎ has the biggest pitch change in the unit
    ◎ can be longer and louder than the other stresses in the unit
    ◎ carries a lot of weight in conveying the message
    ◎ can be on any word or phrase in the unit
    The following same short sentence can have the nucleus on different words conveying different message
    They flew to London
    They flew to London
    They flew to London
    They flew to London
    They flew to London The nucleus is on the last stressed syllable of the intonation unit which is the normal way of the sentence spoken as in English the last information word is usually the last stressed word which has the nucleus
    They flew to London The nucleus is on the preposition to which is not usually stressed The speaker wants to highlight direction They flew to London not from London
    They flew to London The nucleus is on the verb flew The speaker wants to highlight how they travelled They flew to London instead of driving to London
    They flew to London The nucleus is on the personal pronoun they which is not stressed normally The speaker wants to highlight who did this They not you or we flew to London
    Nucleus placing is important as English speakers use nucleus to
    ◎ focus listener's attention
    ◎ make meaning clear
    ◎ contrast information

    Unit 15
    Use of English Intonation
    Introduction
    In this unit we will learn more about English intonation its functions and uses
    Intonation and stress work together to express meaning Intonation makes it easier for a listener to understand what a speaker is trying to convey Following are often cited as important functions of English intonation
    The attitudinal function
    Intonation is used to convey our feelings and attitudes For instance the same sentence can be said in different ways which might be labeled happy grateful angry bored and so on Usually intonation units with high heads sound more lively interesting than those with low heads A few generalisations are often made here the falling intonation is said to be more often associated with completeness and definiteness the rising intonation is more often associated with incompleteness and uncertainty or questioning The fallingrising is said to have feelings of hesitation contrast reservation or doubt
    The accentual function
    The location of the tonic syllable is of considerable linguistic importance The most common position for this is on the last information word of the intonation unit For contrastive purpose however any word may bear the tonic syllable
    The grammatical function
    Some sentence may be ambiguous when written but this can be removed by the use of intonation An often cited example is the sentence Those who sold quickly made a profit This sentence can be said in at least two different ways
    a Those who sold (&quickly made a (profit
    b Those who (&sold quickly made a (profit
    English speakers hear two different paraphrases of the sentences because of the different placement of the toneunit boundary as in
    a A profit was made by those who sold quickly
    b A profit was quickly made by those who sold
    Another example is the use of rising tone in statements The sentence They're going to have a picnic is usually said as a statement like this
    a They 're going to have a (picnic
    In informal speech however we may hear
    b They're going to have a &picnic (But it's raining outside)
    The sentence serves as a question here
    The intonation used in questiontags can have a rising tone or a falling tone
    a They're coming to(morrow &aren't they
    b They're coming to(morrow (aren't they
    When it has a falling tone as in (a) the speaker is comparatively certain that the information is correct and simply asking for conformation while the rising tone in (b) is said to indicate a lesser degree of certainty so the speaker is asking for information
    The discourse function of intonation
    In speech people often use intonation to focus the listener's attention on aspects of the message that are most important So the placement of nucleus or tonic stress depends on the information content the more predictable a word's occurrence is in a given context the lower its information content is For example people would say
    The (telephone's ringing
    The (kettle's boiling
    In speech people often use the falling tone to indicate new information and rising tone (including fallingrising) to indicate shared of given information
    People also use intonation to indicate to others that they have finished speaking and that another person is expected to speak


    第15单元 英语语调功
    单元学重点英语语调功语音学家英语语音语调功概括点:
    强调功
    Did you say a lighter shade
    No a (brighter shade
    调核般位实义词回答中调核位brighter非shade目突出信息中心
    二语法功
    Those who sold quickly made a profit
    句子根调核位置两意思假定句话含两调核:前者降升调者降调
    果降升调调核位置单词sold前面
    Those who (&sold quickly made a (profit
    意思:出售便迅速取利润
    降升调调核位置落单词sold面
    Those who sold (&quickly made a (profit
    意思:销售快获取利润
    外语调语法功表现陈述句变成疑问句例:
    They 're going to have a (picnic
    果升调说出句子成问句
    They're going to have a &picnic
    升调说出句子时含义两:作普通般疑问句(见非正规场合)二作重复问句场合:
    They 're going to have a (picnic
    They're going to have a &picnic But it's raining outside
    外知道反意疑问句降调升调含义:
    c They're coming to(morrow (aren't they (说话握较通常需证实时候)
    d They're coming to(morrow &aren't they (说话握通常需解情况时候)
    三语段功
    语段功常见作语调引起听者重信息注意力语调中功强调功 语段功根文信息分布决定:通常说文中果某单词出现预料中话该词信息含量较低信息含量越高单词获调核性越高例
    a) I’ve got to take the (dog for a walk
    b) I’ve got to take the dog to the (vet
    a)句中调核dogb)句调核位vet 里调核选择强调 根信息含量vet 词信息量明显高walk (遛狗天做事带狗病属日常工作)
    外注意样种现象:句中新信息降调句中已知信息升调
    四表明说话者态度功
    功显易见语调表示说话者恶态度:高兴生气愤怒充满感激情觉索然味等等通语调明白误表达出
    掌握功帮助恰分选择合适语调表达思想时帮助快速准确误获取信息
