Odi Similar to American But Never Identical introduction : introduction Ms. Shalenie Q. Odi Intonation|Liaisons|Pronunciations Accent : Accent Accent, is free form, intuitive, and creative— more the spirit of the language. So, thinking of music, feeling, and flow, let your mouth relax into the American accent. Don’t equate Accent with Pronunciation Accent : Accent Intonation – speech music Liaisons – word connections Pronunciation – the spoken sounds of vowels, consonants, and combinations Three Main Components Why Is My Accent So Bad? : Why Is My Accent So Bad? First, your accent is NOT bad. It is nonstandard to the American ear. Every language is equally valid or good, so every accent is good. The average American, however, truly does have a hard time understanding a nonstandard accent. Any other pronunciation will sound foreign, strange, wrong, or different to a native speaker. Tense Vowels and Lax Vowels : Tense Vowels and Lax Vowels Voice Consonants|Unvoiced Consonants : Voice Consonants|Unvoiced Consonants A consonant is a sound that causes two points of your mouth to come into contact, in three locations—the lips, the tip of the tongue, and the throat. Voiced Consonants – spoken Unvoiced Consonants – whispered it can appear at the beginning, middle, or end of a word. Voice Consonants|Unvoiced Consonants : Voice Consonants|Unvoiced Consonants Voice Consonants|Unvoiced Consonants : Voice Consonants|Unvoiced Consonants Pronunciation Points : Pronunciation Points In many dictionaries, you may find a character that looks like an upside down V, [A] and another character that is an upside-down e [ə], the schwa. There is a linguistic distinction between the two, but they are pronounced exactly the same. Since you can't hear the difference between these two sounds, we'll just be using the upside-down e to indicate the schwa sound. It is pronounced uh. Pronunciation Points : Pronunciation Points The second point is that we do not differentiate between [ä] and []]. The [ä] is pronounced ah. The backwards C []] is more or less pronounced aw. This aw sound has a "back East"sound to it, and as it's not common to the entire United States, it won't be included here. Pronunciation Points : Pronunciation Points R can be considered a semivowel. One characteristic of a vowel is that nothing in the mouth touches anything else. R definitely falls into that category. So in the exercises throughout this course it will be treated not so much as a consonant, but as a vowel. Pronunciation Points : Pronunciation Points The ow sound is usually indicated by [äu], which would be ah + ooh. This may have been accurate at some point in some locations, but the sound is now generally [æo]. Town is [tæon],how is [hæo], loud is [læod], and so on. Pronunciation Points : Pronunciation Points Besides voiced and unvoiced, there are two words that come up in pronunciation. These are: sibilant and plosive. When you say the [s] sound, you can feel the air sliding out over the tip of your tongue—this is a sibilant. When you say the [p] sound, you can feel the air popping out from between your lips—this is a plosive. Be aware that there are two sounds that are sometimes mistakenly taught as sibilants, but are actually plosives: [th] and [v]. Intonation : Intonation Ms. Shalenie Q. Odi The American Speech Music Intonation : Intonation Do Not Speak Word by Word Connect words to form sound Groups - Native speakers don't say Bob is on the phone, but say [bäbizän the foun] The Staircase Intonation : The Staircase Intonation Use Staircase Intonation – start a new staircase when you want to emphasize that information, generally a noun. The downward staircase below. The Staircase Intonation : The Staircase Intonation Staircase intonation not only gives you that American sound, it also makes you sound much more confident. Not every American uses the downward staircase. A certain segment of the population uses rising staircases—generally, teenagers on their way to a shopping mall: "Hi, my name is Tiffany. I live in La Canada. I'm on the pep squad." The Staircase Intonation : The Staircase Intonation What Exactly Is Staircase Intonation? - Americans tend to stretch out their sounds longer than you may think is natural. So to lengthen your vowel sounds, put them on two stair steps instead of just one. The Staircase Intonation : The Staircase Intonation We’re here. The Staircase Intonation : The Staircase Intonation The sound of an American speaking a foreign language is very distinctive, because we double sounds that should be single. For example, in Japanese or Spanish, the word no is, to our ear, clipped or abbreviated. The Staircase Intonation : The Staircase Intonation Clipped: The Staircase Intonation : The Staircase Intonation Unvoiced and Voiced Consonants- unvoiced consonant—one that you "whisper" (t, k, s, x, f,sh)—you will notice that the preceding vowel is said quite quickly, and on a single stair step. The Staircase Intonation : The Staircase Intonation When a word ends in a vowel or a voiced consonant—one that you "say" (b, d, g, z, v, zh, j), the preceding vowel is said more slowly, and on a double stair step. The Staircase Intonation : The Staircase Intonation Two main consequences of not doubling the second category of words: either, Your listener will hear the wrong word. You will always sound upset The Staircase Intonation : The Staircase Intonation What exactly are the mechanics of intonation? or What changes when you go to the top of the staircase? or When do you put stress on a word?
