BLENDING
English has a rather smooth sentence rhythm. The sounds are connected from one word to another to another within a phrase. As a mechanical aid to blending during drill work, the student may consider the last sound of the first word part of the second word. Examples:
1. Is it raining hard today?
2. You must not adopt/an articulation pattern/ that calls attention to itself.///
Verb + pronoun: * Do it> du it * Call her > caler
Preposition of measurement: * a cup of tea > a kapov tee * A glass of water> a glasov
Put a blend mark on the words that should be blended
A canᴗ͜͜of tuna = a kanov tuna * get out - ge-tout * look at it - loo-ka-tit * not at all - no-ta-tall * what is it - wha-ti-sit * for all I know - forall I know * I prefer it -I preferit
Improving Accent through Word Liaisons or Blending Consonant + Vowel * My name is David * Hold on * Turn over * Read only * Fall off * Follow up on * Come in * Sell it * Fade away
Vowel + Vowel * Go away. * I also need the other one. * Go anywhere. * So honest * Through our initiative * You are * He is * Do I? * I asked * To open Pronunciation Practice. Read the following lines with proper blending and intonation:
Or is reduced to r ex: rape or money? > rape r money
And is reduced to n ex: money and power. > money n power
The + vowel: the orange, the orangutan
S ending followed by s: ladies shoes * For dine in or take out? * Are you going up or down? * Soup or salad? * Cream and sugar? * Can I help you? * Can you do it? * No one can fix it * A can opener can open cans. * Get out of here! * You're late again, Bob. * Put it in a box.
PHRASING is used to convey thought, rather than one of tone production. It is the grouping together of words that convey a thought. Such grouping of words is very important in spoken English. There are no definite rules that govern the grouping of words. We depend mainly on the meaning and intent of the speaker. Pause for breath when you reach the line. I saw a beautiful girl/ crossing the street.// You can't be a good speaker/ unless you have a good voice.// We speak in phrases/ not in words.// Mina was bored/ but according to Pete/ the play was a great success.// Gratitude is a quality/not limited to man.// He forgot about the quiz/ and there was no time to study/so he decided to be absent.// His grades/ which were steadily getting lower/ indicated his lack of interest/ in the subject.// The boy's earnings/were used to buy their school supplies.// The captain, together with the crew/ lived in the house/by the side of the road.// "Don't give too much for the whistle/ and save the money"//

Break,/ break,/ break On thy cold grey stones/ o sea! And I would/ that my tongue would utter The thoughts/ that arise in me// - Tennyson
And what is so rare/ as a day/ in June That if ever,/ comes perfect day;/ Then Heaven tires earth/ if it be in tune/ And over it softly/ her warm ear lays.// - Unknown
My brother's hands are cool and fair/ They can do anything./ Delicate mercies hid them there/ Like flowers in the spring// - Unknown SENTENCE STRESS AND RHYTHM
The problem of acquiring good English speech rhythm may be divided into five parts: * Emphatic stress: Rolly maybe stubborn, but Ruby is too. * Contrastive stress: This is not for you, but for her. * Function words: prepositions, be verbs, action verbs, pronouns are NOT stressed! * Content words: nouns, adjectives, adverbs, action verbs are STRESSED!
BUT if action verb or BE verbs are used in tag question, answerable by yes/no, these are STRESSED! * Ex: RUBY: Can you lend me your cell phone? * HABAL: Yes, I can! * Ex: Ruby is beautiful, isn’t she? 1. Giving proper stress to stressed syllables, and making them recur rather regularly within a thought group. 2. Weakening unstressed words and obscuring the vowels in many of them. A proper organization of words into thought groups by means of pauses. 3. Blending the final sounds of each word and syllable with the initial sound of the one following within a thought group. 4. Fitting the entire sentence into a normal intonation pattern. Each of the following phrases is a rhythm unit, and is written as one word.

INTONATION
Intonation is a term used to indicate the continuous elevation or depression of pitch in the delivery of a syllable, word, phrase, or sentence. It is the rise and fall of the voice in connected speech.
RISING-FALLING INTONATION
Intonation is the tune of what we say. More specifically, it is the combination of musical tones on which we pronounce the syllables that make up our speech. It is closely related to sentence stress. Often, but by no means always, a syllable with sentence stress. Often, but by no means always, a syllable with sentence stress is spoken on a higher musical note than the rest of the rhythm unit. In such cases, intonation is one of the elements of stress, the others being loudness and length. 1. Statement
Stress the nouns and let the tone fall at the end of the sentence.
• Dogs eat bones. 2. Intro Phrase
Use a rising tone when prefacing a statement.
• As we all know, dogs eat bones. 3. Question
A regular question goes up (compared with a statement), but drops back down at the end.
• What is the dog’s name? 4. First half, second half
The first half of a sentence usually sets up the second half.
• Dogs eat bones, but cats eat fish. 5. Listing
With more than one item in a list, all but the last one have a rising tone. " Dogs eat bones, rice, and meat.
6. Repeated Question

...My name is Todd Anderson and I am the manager of the outsourced fulfillment department in India. Due to a high labor cost in the United States, my objective was to go to India to train offshore employees in order for the company to perform effectively and lower the operating cost. I was pretty surprised by many things, first I didn’t expect that implementing and launching orders from the United States was not an easy task at all. I believed that everything would be like in America. At least, the company had this software that calculates the average minutes per incident, which is a great start since I was able to measure the outcomes. At the beginning, the average time spent on phone with a customer was around 17 minutes. But as the time goes through, we finally set goals as a team and reached less than 6 minutes to attend a customer. Also, the differences and the diversification between both US and India were so unexpected that I didn’t know how to interact with the organization. My knowledge about India and its culture were so weak that it wasn’t easy for me to integrate the society. From my personal experience over there, I noticed that cultural understanding was so important when it comes to outsourcing in different countries. I had a big culture shock when I first landed in India. I had a hard time taking a cab and I received many strange looks. I thought that I was going to teach people about how to interact in an American way, but I realized that I had to learn more...

Write an Opinion Piece Article in Which You Discuss the Issues Surrounding People Changing Their Accents. [40]

...particular that are changing their accents to fit in with ‘showbiz’ and the latest trends or for a movie they will play a part in. Within seconds of meeting someone, we make judgements about who they are just by the way they sound. Attitudes towards accents are based more on social connotations and prejudices surrounding the location or social group associated with that accent than on the sound itself. The reason people may be obliged to change their accent is to feel like they fit in and not stand out, so that people from all over the world can understand them and not only their social networks. Some accents evoke a positive response and others, negative, and this is the reason why people change their accent. Accents such as Received Pronunciation (RP) are seen as the borderline – the norm as to how people should sound like. RP is seen as a standard, social accent that is not specific to any one region and is instead identified as a neutral accent used by the well-educated in the world. This prestigious accent of British English was judged most favourable when Strongman and Woosley conducted a study of listeners’ reaction to a range of British accents. RP was found to be associated with intelligence and brought positive connotations of authority and competence. Alternatively, RP can bring about negative connotations such as haughty, unfriendly and cold because of the 2% of the British population that speak RP, it isn’t seen commonly in everyday life unlike regional dialects...

Japanese Womens Language

...Explain Inoue's argument that "the copy precedes the original." Compare the Japanese data to the data presented by Agha, Moore, and/or Kiesling. In this essay I will be discussing Inuoe’s concept of a “copy preceding the original” in terms of her research on Japanese women’s language and then comparing it to the works written by Agha (2003), Moore (2007; 2011) and Kiesling (2004). Agha (2003) concerns himself on the subject of accent and standardised English within Britain, while Moore (2007 & 2011) looks at accent within the Irish context and how the media directly influences its production. The last of these, Kiesling (2004), looks at the origins of the word “dude” becoming an integral part of conversation among both young men and women. All of these contain the same element when it comes to the emergence of a linguistic discourse – a copy precedes the original. Japanese women’s language is first and foremost a series of linguistic constructs and meanings that are only exclusive to women (Inoue, 2006). It is associated with feminine characteristics, such as being delicate, polite, gentle and non-aggressive. All that is women’s language is strictly Japanese – it encompasses history, culture, tradition, and politics, while going against Western culture (Inoue, 2006). While being such an essential component to Japanese-ness, most women (especially those in regional areas and the working class) are not able to produce women’s language, nor have direct access to it (Inoue...

Discuss Some of the Ways That Participants in a Conversation Are Sensitive to Others Needs

...factors. Some of these factors include; professional status, regional background, and age. These theories are the accommodation theory and the co-operative principle. The accommodation theory was developed by Howard Giles in the 1970’s. He had the theory we change our speech depending on the conversational needs of the person we are talking to. This either leads to divergence, people’s speech moving apart, or convergence, moving our speech closer to the other person’s style. Furthermore, convergence has the effect of decreasing the social distance between speakers which includes downwards convergence which is moving away from Received Pronunciation. A situation where this would take place could be talking to a friend or relative with a strong regional accent. This contrasts with upwards convergence where a person moves closer to Received Pronunciation. A situation in which this could occur could be when talking to a boss or someone with higher status. Mutual convergence is when both the participants move towards each other’s speech styles which tends to happen when both the speakers like each other. Divergence has the effect of emphasising the differences between two people’s speech styles such as a teacher asserting their authority with a class of students. The co-operative principle was created by H.P Grice in 1975. His theory was that a successful conversation occurs when participants abide by certain rules such as turn taking. He also stated that cooperation between speakers...

Comparing Reading Programs

...Evaluating Reading Programs African-American (AA) and English Language Learners (ELL) students are groups that traditionally suffer in standard reading and English classrooms. A 1965 Harlem study cited by William Labov (Labov, Can reading failure be reversed pg. 40, laay ) contrasts two groups of students: one group that is not affiliated with street culture and one group that is. The findings are startling. AA students that did not associate with “street” groups on average read two grade-levels below students. This figure is alarming but nonetheless, two grade-levels can be remediated with the right intervention. However, the group that associated with “street” groups persisted to stall at an average plateau of a 4.9 grade reading level. A plateau indicates a systemic failure to address the underlying issue of instruction. The times have changed but the fact that AA and ELL youth are not being served has remained constant. One would (like to) believe that non-responsive students are wholly neglected, however, often times it is not a negligence in intervention, but a lack of appropriate reading curriculum/tools that creates the dire situation that underperforming students are in. AA and ELL students pose an educational challenge because they already possess language structures that vary from standard academic English in grammar, phonics, and cultural experience. The Ann Arbor decision reaffirms that although different, African American Vernacular (AAVE), is not mangled or fragmented...

Slexipedia: Word Formation and Social Use

...Slexipedia: Word Formation and Social Use 3.1 Introduction In his publication A Glossary of Netspeak and Textspeak David Crystal blended the two words lexiconand encyclopaediato form lexipedia, a word he used to describe the nature and purpose of his publication as "a cross between a dictionary (lexicon) and an encyclopaedia" (Crystal, 2004: vii). For each term in the glossary there is information one would look up in a dictionary, and the sort of knowledge one would expect to find in an encyclopaedia, such as an etymology of the entry and a hint of its sociolinguistic use. For example: newbie A newcomer to a chatgroup or virtual-world environment, especially one who has not yet learned the way to behave when participating in the dialogue. >>chatgroup; netiquette; virtual world (Crystal, 2004: 79) The coinage of the neologism Slexipedia compounds the acronym SL with lexipedia to provide a term to describe the Second Life-specific lexis in my corpus. In addition to providing a SL glossary according to Crystal's method (Appendix X), this chapter investigates the creative and innovative word-formation processes of SL English and Arabic vocabulary by its residents. Since use of vocabulary reflects identity (Crystal, 2001; Benwell and Stokoe, 2006; Boellstorff, 2008), the final concern of this chapter is the manner in which these SL terms are used in conversational interaction inworld, to reflect the social purposes and circumstances in which these words are...
