Syllable Analysis

Transcribe the given word Step 1: Transcribe the given word Step 2: Find each element Step 3: Label each element

Doing syllable analysis Step 2: Find each element onset centre coda

Step 3 Label each element onset = /k/ = initial consonant : unvoiced velar plosive = /eI/ : centring diphthong = /n/ final consonant: voiced alvelar nasal centre coda

Now do the syllable analysis of the words from the dictation

To see a world in a grain of sand, And heaven in a wild flower;

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour.

stressed & unstressed syllables = /ə/

Stress in words accent or emphasis given to a particular syllable of a word stressed and unstressed syllables / ' / placed just before the affected syllable acoustic identity of a word THREE distinguishable acoustic results of the stressed syllable: louder longer different in pitch (usually higher “pitch prominence”)

TWO further core characteristics of stressed syllables: 1. sounds may be more clearly articulated, and vowels may be purer 2. larger jaw, lip and other facial movements articulatory energy energy profile

1 It is important that you work regularly throughout the semester, and revise the content of each lesson well, in order to progress through the various stages of the course. It is vital you attend each lesson and prepare the homework for the following week, aiming to acquire new knowledge and a deeper understanding of sound. The final exam is essentially a test of how much you have acquired during this annual course and you will be well-prepared for this final exam if you study each stage carefully. It should already be clear to you that this is not an exam you can cram for in a very short time. Instead you need time, patience, practice and determination to arrive at a competent level of understanding, elaboration and production of the Sounds of English. Obviously, the material covered in the first semester dispensa will help you during your second semester and should consulted frequently. 2 4 3 5
