The rhythm and stress
• English speech rhythm is characterized by
tone units (a word or group of words which
carries one stressed syllable, with other
syllables lightened);
• Intonation – (rising or falling, a rise-fall, a fall-
rise) often makes difference to meaning or
implication (speaker´s attitude - can sound
offensive); also giving different prominence to
a word makes a difference.
Tom didn’t do his HOME work. ( But maybe he
did something else)
TOM didn’t do his homework. (But someone
else did.)
Tom DIDN’T do his homework. (You thought he
did, but he actually didn’t.)
Tom didn’t do HIS homework. (But he did
someone else’s homework.)
Connected speech – unstressed syllables tend to
have weak vowel sounds, sounds get dropped -
elision, sounds get changed -assimilation,
additional linking sounds occur; (Scrivener, 2011, 282)
