When we are contrasting two words or phrases we emphasise the parts that we want to contrast by marking them prominent: A: You are looked exhausted last night B: Yes, but eve though I was TIRED I couldn't get to SLEEP Not being able to get to sleep is contrasted with being tired. A: Can I have some of this cake now? B: The pudding's for toMORrow , not for today Today is contrasted with tomorrow Typically the wrd or phrase that is news- that is, information that the hearer is not expected to know- has a falling tone (I couldn't get to SLEEP; that the cake for tomorrow). This contrasts with information that the hearer and speaker already share, which has a rising or fall rising tone (that I was tired; A thinks the cake is for today). Here are some common patterns of comparison and contrast: 1.using a comparative form of an adjective: I think it's more important to have COMfortable clothes than STYlish ones 2.using either…or: You can either catch the EARlier train or the LATer one 3.using …, not…or…not…,…: He's got bronchitis , not just a cough 4.Using other contrasting phrases Rather than catch the BUS, maybe we could WALK home.

Consonant clusters within and across the words. Answer: Consonant clusters also occur within words. For ex: Clusters with… 2 consonant clusters Escape Approach Dislike Address important 3 consonant clusters Complete Control Expert Translate hundred 4 consonant clusters Abstract Expression Upstream Exquisite (kskw) excruciating Some clusters found within words can also be found at the beginning of words (dislike-slow), at the end of words (important- lamp), or both (escape- Scotland/ask), but others can't (abstract, invisible) When a word ending with a consonant or consonants is followed by a word beginning with a consonant or consonants, a new consonant cluster across words is formed. These can be particularly difficult to pronounce Write the words in the correct group: Escape, complete, approach, control, dislike, abstract, expression, translate, upstream, exquisite Clusters with 2 Consonant sounds 3 consonant sounds 4 consonant sounds Answer: Escape, complete, approach, control, dislike, abstract, expression, translate, upstream, exquisite Clusters with 2 Consonant sounds 3 consonant sounds 4 consonant sounds Escape Approach Dislike Translate Control complete Abstract Expression Exquisite upstream 2.Make the phonetic analysis of the following words: Insomnia, paparazzi, momentous 3Classification of noise consonants Answer: Noise consonants vary: 1.In the work of vocal cords: voiced: : [b,d, g,v, ʤ, ʒ, δ, z] voiceless: [p,t,k,f,Ө, s,f,h,tʃ], 2.In the degree of force of articulation: weak: [b,d, g,v, ʤ, ʒ, δ, z] strong: [p,t,k,f,Ө, s,f,h,tʃ] #13 Áèëåò 1. Consonant clusters at the end of the word. Answer: A consonant cluster (or consonant blend) is a group of consonants which have no intervening vowel. In English, for example, the groups /spl/ and /ts/ are consonant clusters in the word splits. There are many more combinations of consonant sounds possible at the end of English words than at the beginning. There can be up to four consonant sounds in a final consonant cluster: Words with 2 final consonants 3 final consonants 4 final consonants Honest [st] Jump [mp] Wrapped [pt] Helped [lpt] Next [kst] Crisps [sps] Prompts [mpts] Glimpsed [mpst] Texts [ksts] Some final clusters with three or four consonants can be difficult to pronounce even for native English speakers, so in some words these are commonly simplified. For example, the middle consonant of the clusters [kts], [mps], [mpt], [nts], [ndz], [skt] is hardly heard or sometimes even left out. Products- products[prodʌks] Camped- camped[kæmt] Hands hands[hænz] Leaving final consonants out of consonant clusters at the end of words can cause misunderstanding, and you should avoid this. For example, say: Product (not: product), jump (not: jump) Don’t be tempted to add vowels to consonant clusters in order to make them easier to say, as this can also cause misunderstanding: 1. Avoid adding an extra vowel (usually [i] or [ǝ]) between consonants : watched ( not watchid) 2. Avoid adding an extra vowel at the end of an adjective, as this can sound like a comparative form: fast (not: fastǝ because it sounds like ‘faster’) 3. Avoid adding an extra vowel (usually [ǝ] or [u]) at the end of the word: last (not: lastǝ) Match a word from box A with a word from box B to make compound nouns. And explain new consonant clusters across words. Example: rock music [k] is shortened, tourist trap [t] is left out A. first direct general golf lamp B. Speech shade class club strike Answer: Match a word from box A with a word from box B to make compound nouns. And explain new consonant clusters across words. Example: rock music [k] is shortened, tourist trap [t] is left out A. first direct general golf lamp B. Speech shade class club strike Golf club (no simplification) First class( t is left out) Direct speech (t is left out) Lamp shade (no simplification) General strike (no simplification) 2.

Answer: A number of words and phrases are used to introduce a piece of information that is related to what has just been said. Many of these are typically said in their own speech unit with a rising or falling tone: A: We haven’t got any coffee left B:// in THAT case //, I'll just have water, thanks . A: there is no point in keeping this jacket, it's full of holes. B://Also//, the zip's broken. Other words and phrases like this include: at the same time, in the same way, similarly, otherwise etc. When we want to change the topic in a conversation or to start talking about a different aspect of the same topic, we often begin with a word or phrase with a falling tone in its own speech unit: A: I really like he town square B: Lovely, isn't it?// RIGHT , so what would you like to see next? Other words and phrases like this include: anyhow, incidentally, (this suggests that what is going to be said is less important than what has come before) now, well. 2. Think of a suitable way to complete B part and write it in the space. Then say the B part using appropriate tone on the phrase in bold. a. A: Bridget and Steve are coming next week. B: In that case , __________________. b. A: I've got an assignment to do by Monday. B: I won't see you over the weekend, then. Incidentally , _____________. c. Will you be coming to watch the concert? No, it's too expensive. Besides , ___________________________. Answer: In that case, (fall-rising tone) I'll take a couple of days off work. Incidentally (falling tone), Have you seen Mona recently? Besides (falling), I keep telling you it's not for sale. 2.Make the phonetic analysis of the following words: Chapel, harbor, vandalism 3. Classification of consonants according to place of articulation: According to the position of the active organ of speech against the point of articulation consonants may be: 4. Labial 5. Lingual 6. Glottal 1.Labial consonants are made by the lips. They may be bilabial and labio- dental. Bilabial cons. Are produced when both lips are active. They are: [p,b,m,w] Labio-dental cons are articulated with the lower lip against the edge of the upper teeth. [f,v] 2.Lingual consonants are classified into forelingual, mediolingula, backlingual Forelingual cons are articulated with the tip or the blade of the tongue Acc.to the place of obstruction forelingual cons: Interdental [Ө, s,z,n,l] Dental Alveolar: t,d Post alveolar: r Palato alveolar : ʃ, ʒ, ʤ, tʃ Mediolingual cons are produced with the front part of the tongue. They are always palatal: j,η Backlingual cons are also called velar, because they are produced with the back part of the tongue raised towards soft palate: k,g 3.Glottal cons h is articulated in the glottis. #15 Áèëåò 1. Intonation in Question tags. Answer: A question tag is a question added at the end of a sentence. Speakers use question tags chiefly to make sure their information is correct or to seek argument. Intonation In Question Tags When a tag is spoken, the voice can go up or down. If the voice goes up, it is called Rising Intonation and if it goes down, it is called Falling Intonation. It is a nice day today, isn’t it? ↘ A falling intonation means that the speaker is sure (or almost sure) that the statement is true. The speaker knows that it is a nice day. The tag is not a real question. He is inviting his friend to continue the conversation. You have been on holiday, haven’t you? ↗ A rising intonation means that the speaker is less sure. He thinks that his friend has been on holiday, but he isn’t sure. The tag is more like a real question. Read the following sentences with the correct intonation of tag questions. 1. You can't answer all the questions, can you? - 2. You will help me to do the dishes, won't you? - 3. He believes you, doesn't he? - 4. The teacher should explain the lesson, shouldn't he? - 5.

You will help me to do the dishes, won't you? - falling 3. He believes you, doesn't he? - rising 4. The teacher should explain the lesson, shouldn't he? - falling 5. The boy didn't know the lesson, did he? - falling 2.Make the phonetic analysis of the following words: violence, provincial, overcrowding 3Classification of vowels according to tongue position: Classification of vowels according to the principle of tongue position Moving up and down in the mouth various parts of the tongue may be raised to different height towards roof of the mouth. When the front or the back of the tongue is raised high towards the plate the vowel is called close. [i:, i, u, u:] When the highest part of the tongue occupies the position intermediate between the close and the open one mid vowels are pronounced. [e, ^, ʒ:, ә] When the front or the back of the tongue is as low as possible in the mouth open vowels are pronounced. [ᵆ, a:, Ͻ, Ͻ:] #16 Áèëåò 1. Word stress and prominence. Answer:We use two terms that are related but different: stress and prominence. Most dictionaries which give the pronunciation of words also indicate which syllables have stress. For example: CALD shows that ‘party’ and ‘remember’ have stress on only one syllable. When a word is used in conversation and emphasized, one of the stressed syllables is made ‘prominent’. In a one-stress word this is the stressed syllable, and in a two- stress word it is usually the syllable with main stress. Prominent syllables are shown in this book in capital letters: I’m going to a PARty I can’t remember • Prominence can move to the secondary stressed syllable in a word like ‘controversial’ when it is followed by a word with another prominent syllable, particularly when the first syllable of the following word is prominent: She gave a CONtroversial Answer This is sometimes called ‘stress shift’. Stress shift can only happen in words where a secondary stress comes before main stress. ,under’stand- UNDERstand EVerything ,disap’pointing- DIS appointing OUTcome Other words which have stress shift include: ,Alto'gether, ,inde'pendent, ,indi'stinct, ,medi'ocre, ,satis'factory,, uni'versity, ,week'end, ,worth'while Some place names which have main stress on the last syllable, such as: ,Ber'lin,, Kow'loon, ,Montre'al Teen numbers – ,thir'teen, ,nine'teen, and two part numbers- ,forty-'five 2. Write the words in the correct group: Champion, international, marathon, referee, final, celebrity, basketball, disadvantages, recognition, facilities, spectators, athletics Stress on the 1st syllable Stress on 2nd syllable Stress on 3rd syllable Champion 2.Make the phonetic analysis of the following words: Cosmopolitan, nightingale, bagel 3. Classification of vowels according to the stability of articulation Stability of articulation. Vowels are grouped into 3 groups: Monophthongs, diphthongs, diphthongoids. Monophthongs are vowels the articulation of which is almost unchanging: [i,e, ᵆ, a:, Ͻ, Ͻ:, u, ^, Ç:, Ә] In the pronunciation of diphthongs the organs of speech glide from one vowel position to another within one syllable:[ ei, ai, Ͻi, au, çu, iә, έә, uә] In the pronunciation of diphthongoids the articulation is slightly changing but the difference between the starting point and the end is not so distinct as it is in the case of diphthongs. [i:, u:] #17 Áèëåò 1. Suffixes and word stress. Answer: Suffixes and word stress. SEE!!! - p28Eng Pr. Some words are made up of a root and a suffix: Root danger ous suffix In some words with suffixes, the stress stays on the same syllable as in the root. Compare: 'danger and: 'dangerous In other words, the suffix changes the stressed syllable. Compare: 'commerce and com'mercial Which suffixes don’t usually change the stress pattern and which have the main stress? Comfortable, amplifier, regretful, industrious, mysterious, Japanese. Answer: Suffixes which don't usually change the stress pattern in the root word include –able, -age, -al –er, -ful, -ness, -ous, -fy 'Comfort-'comfortable 'amplify-'amplifier ' regret- 'regretful Exceptions with –able, -al include: ad'mire- 'admirable, 'medicine-me'dicinal, pre'fer-'preferable, 'agriculture- agri'cultural Before the the suffixes –ious, -ulous, -orous, -eous main stress usually come in the syllable before the suffix: 'Industry- in'dustrious 'mystery- my'sterious Some suffixes themselves usually have the main stress. These include –ee, -eer, -ese, -ette Japan'ese Exceptions include: 'omelette, 'etiquette, em'ployee 2.Make phonetic analysis: Lenses, substance, radiation 3. Classification of vowels according to lip position: The shape of the mouth cavity is also largely dependent on the position of the lips. When the lips are neutral or spread the vowels are termed unrounded. [i:, i, e, ᵆ, a:, ^, ʒ:, ә] When the lips are drawn together so that the opening between them is more or less round the vowel is called rounded. [Ͻ, Ͻ:, u, u:] |
