Aspects of Oral Intelligibility

Aspects of Oral Intelligibility
• Phoneme production (40-58), at syllable
level
• Lowest denominator of sound impacting
meaning, as in /bIt/ vs. /pIt/
• For example: /s/ /ₔ/ /ᶘ/

Aspects of Oral Intelligibility
• Stress
![Page 6: Overview of the Teaching of Pronunciation in ESL of /t/ Artic. Descrip. Sound Environ. Example Released, aspirated Syllable initial Top Unreleased,preglot. Ends word, after v. Pot](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5aa84a9d7f8b9a9a188b654c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Aspects of Oral Intelligibility
• Stress
1. vowel in syllable lengthened
2. vowel is said louder
3. Intonation rises
4. Unstressed syllable becomes schwa
ex.: GOTHic /Gaθ әk/
![Page 7: Overview of the Teaching of Pronunciation in ESL of /t/ Artic. Descrip. Sound Environ. Example Released, aspirated Syllable initial Top Unreleased,preglot. Ends word, after v. Pot](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5aa84a9d7f8b9a9a188b654c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Aspects of Stress
1. stress changes vowel qualities:
dӡiy a grә fiy vs. dӡiy ә grǽf әK
2. Within a Word (/KaT әdӡ / = COTT age)
3. Focus word with a Sentence: “It’s the proof
not the solution that’s important.”
4. Focus sentence within a series: “You can come
late for class; you can turn your papers in late;
you can come late for lab; but don’t even think
about coming late for the exam.”

Elements of O.I.
• Intonation
![Page 9: Overview of the Teaching of Pronunciation in ESL of /t/ Artic. Descrip. Sound Environ. Example Released, aspirated Syllable initial Top Unreleased,preglot. Ends word, after v. Pot](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5aa84a9d7f8b9a9a188b654c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Elements of O.I.: Intonation
• Intonation is the music, the pitch/melody
of language
1. In English, intonation changes meaning
change at the sentence level.
Ex.: He wants you to speak now.

Elements of O.I.: Intonation
2. Intonation lends interest/variety to
speech

Elements of O.I.
• Rhythm
![Page 12: Overview of the Teaching of Pronunciation in ESL of /t/ Artic. Descrip. Sound Environ. Example Released, aspirated Syllable initial Top Unreleased,preglot. Ends word, after v. Pot](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030421/5aa84a9d7f8b9a9a188b654c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Elements of O.I.: Rhythm
• English is stress-timed, not (like most
languages), syllable timed.
DOG BITES MAN
• Beats per sentence based on number of
primary stresses.
![Page 13: Overview of the Teaching of Pronunciation in ESL of /t/ Artic. Descrip. Sound Environ. Example Released, aspirated Syllable initial Top Unreleased,preglot. Ends word, after v.

Aspects of Rhythm
• Schwa is critical to comprehension, helping listener tune out function elements to tune in important content.
• Oral “punctuation” in rhythm.
• Segmentation provides meaning clues
John said Susan is a jerk.
“John,” said Susan, “is a jerk.”
(5+3) * 2 = ___ 5+ (3*2) = ___

Elements of O.I.
• PROJECTION
![Page 18: Overview of the Teaching of Pronunciation in ESL of /t/ Artic. Descrip. Sound Environ. Example Released, aspirated Syllable initial Top Unreleased,preglot. Ends word, after v.

Elements of O.I.: Projection
• Speech cannot be comprehensible if it isn’t
audible.
• Projection is linked to communicative
confidence.
• Confidence linked to lowered affective
stress necessary for clear articulation.

More on Linking
• e. Assimilation: linking cons. to cons can change
articulation of first cons: n, m, ng
i. I can believe it [ay kǽm bә liyv әt]
/n/ to changed to /m/
ii. I saw him in Korea [ay sa әm Ing Kәr iy ә]

Elements of O.I.
1. REDUCTIONS
e.g., Waddy’ wann’ do t’mor’?
![Page 24: Overview of the Teaching of Pronunciation in ESL of /t/ Artic. Descrip. Sound Environ. Example Released, aspirated Syllable initial Top Unreleased,preglot. Ends word, after v.

Elements of O.I.: Reductions
• Why native speakers reduce (eliminate)
sounds in speech:
1. To avoid tripping over difficult sound
combinations.
2. To maintain stress-timed rhythm that’s
critical for comprehensibility.
![Page 25: Overview of the Teaching of Pronunciation in ESL of /t/ Artic. Descrip. Sound Environ. Example Released, aspirated Syllable initial Top Unreleased,preglot. Ends word, after v.

What’s reduced?
1. Function words in context
*vowel is reduced to a schwa
*initial and final consonants usually lost
or clipped:
can (kәn), will (әl), have (әv), to (tә), he (iy),
them (әm) and (n), of (v), if (әf)
did he=/dIdiy/, cup of coffee = /kpәkafiy/

More on Reduction
• Word ending in consonant cluster followed
by word beginning with cons. will delete
last cons. in 1st word.
Examples: band shell to banshell
left field to leffield
![Page 27: Overview of the Teaching of Pronunciation in ESL of /t/ Artic. Descrip. Sound Environ. Example Released, aspirated Syllable initial Top Unreleased,preglot. Ends word, after v.

Type of Reduction: palatalization
• Final /d/ + initial /y/ becomes /dӡә/
Example: Did you /dIdӡә/
/t/ + /y/ to /tch/ (want you= wantʃә)
/s/ + /y/ to /sh/ (toss you= taʃә)
/z/ + /y/ to /ӡ/ (was you= waӡә)

Palatalization
• Not yet: /natʃɛt/
• Where did you go: /werdIdӡuwgow/
• This year: /δIʃyir/
• Where’s Union Station?:
werӡyuwnyәn steyʃәn ?

More on Reductions
(palatalization )
• Teach most common reduced forms—so
students can create stress-timed speech:
• Would you: /wʊdӡә/
• Could you: /kʊdӡә /
• Want to: /wanә /
• Going to: /gәnә /
• Don’t know /dәnә /
