Group 4 simple past and simple perfect
This document discusses the simple past and present perfect tenses in English grammar. It provides examples of how to form the simple past of regular and irregular verbs, as well as the basic structure of the present perfect using the auxiliary verbs "have" and "be". The document also notes that early Modern English used both "have" and "be" as perfect auxiliaries, while modern English always uses "have", except for some intransitive verbs of motion or change of state which can take "be" in other languages. Formulas for the positive, negative and interrogative forms of the present perfect are also provided.
Possessive Nouns
The document discusses possessive nouns and how they are formed in English. Possessive nouns show possession or ownership of another noun. To form a possessive noun, an apostrophe is added to the end of a singular noun. For plural nouns ending in s, only an apostrophe is added. For other plural nouns, an apostrophe and s are added. Examples are provided to illustrate possessive forms for both singular and plural nouns.
Compounding technique
The Technique of Compounding in Word Formation Process. this presentation will help the students to understand this technique.
Compounding
Compound words are formed by combining two or more lexemes into a single word. There are several types of compound words including noun compounds, verb compounds, and adjective compounds. Compound words can be identified by their meaning, stress pattern, and subclasses like endocentric, exocentric, copulative, and appositional compounds. The process of compounding allows for unlimited combinations of words in the English language.
Stress and Intonation
The document discusses stress and intonation in English. It explains that English is a stress-timed language, where stressed syllables occur at regular intervals and unstressed syllables are shortened. In contrast, languages like French and Spanish are syllable-timed, where each syllable takes approximately the same amount of time. The document also discusses sentence stress patterns in English, distinguishing between content words that are stressed and structure words that are unstressed. Finally, it outlines several basic intonation patterns in English involving rising and falling pitch.
Compound adjectives
This document discusses compound words and the use of hyphens. It notes that compound words are made up of two or more words expressing a single idea, and can be open, hyphenated, or solid compounds. Hyphens are used to join parts of compound words to avoid ambiguity. The document provides examples of compound adjectives formed with adjectives, nouns, adverbs or past/present participles, and notes that hyphenation depends on whether the compound precedes or follows the noun it modifies. It also contains examples to test the reader's understanding of hyphen usage in compounds.

Compound & Affixed words
This document provides information about compound and affixed words. It begins by stating the learning objectives, which are to define compound and affixed words, identify them in sentences, form sentences with them, and infer meanings of unfamiliar ones. It then discusses compound words, which are formed by combining two or more words into a new word with a new meaning. It provides examples of open, closed, and hyphenated compound words. The document also discusses affixed words, explaining that affixes are letters added to the beginning or end of root words to modify their meanings. It provides examples of prefixes and suffixes and the types of affixed words they can create.

Presentation 18
The document defines and provides examples of the eight parts of speech in English: nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. Nouns name people, places, or things. Pronouns are used in place of nouns. Verbs express actions or states of being. Adjectives provide details about nouns. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. Prepositions show relationships of time, place, or other abstract concepts. Conjunctions join words and sentences. Interjections express emotions.
Parts of a sentence
This document discusses the key parts of a sentence, including the subject and predicate. The subject includes the person or thing being discussed, with the simple subject being the noun or pronoun. The predicate tells what the subject does or is, with the simple predicate always being the verb. Examples are provided to illustrate sentences with their subjects and predicates identified.
Wordstress rules
This document provides information about word stress patterns in English words. It explains that stress is placed on a specific syllable when pronouncing multi-syllabic words. Some key points covered include:
- A syllable contains a single vowel sound
- Words can have one, two, three or more syllables
- For two-syllable words, nouns/adjectives typically stress the first syllable, while verbs/prepositions stress the second
- Three+ syllable words follow patterns like stressing prefixes/suffixes or syllables from the end
- Dictionaries indicate stress placement with apostrophes
- Proper pronunciation relies on understanding and applying word stress rules
Countries and People
This document lists various countries and provides brief descriptions of a person from each country indicating their nationality and the language they speak. It includes Moldova, England, the USA, Germany, France, Italy, Romania, Russia, Greece, Poland, China, and Spain.
Phonetic transcription colors
The document provides a phonetic transcription exercise for different colors. It lists common colors like green, gold, blue, black, orange, brown, yellow, gray, purple, and white and provides the phonetic transcription for how each color would be pronounced in English. The document concludes by congratulating the reader on completing the phonetic transcription exercise for colors.
Word and sentence stress
English is a stress-timed language, meaning stress occurs at regular intervals based on the number of stressed syllables rather than the total number of syllables. Sentences contain both content words, which carry meaning and are usually stressed, and function words like articles and prepositions, which are usually unstressed. Stress has three levels - primary, secondary, and weak - and changing stress can alter a word or sentence's meaning.
Word Stress
Word stress refers to how stress is distributed among the syllables of a word. Multisyllabic words have more than one stressed syllable, but only one receives primary stress while others receive secondary stress or almost no stress. The factors that determine a word's stress pattern include its origin, part of speech, and whether it has affixes added. Prefixes typically do not change the stress of the base word, while suffixes can have no effect on stress, take the primary stress themselves, or cause the stress pattern to shift to a different syllable in the base word.

Word stress
This document discusses stress or accent in words, specifically:
- Stress refers to emphasizing one syllable over others in a word.
- The level of voice changes on the stressed syllable.
- Vowels may change between stressed and unstressed syllables.
- One-syllable words are always stressed. In two-syllable words, usually the first syllable is stressed but sometimes the second. In longer words, prefixes and suffixes can indicate stress.
- Identical noun-verb pairs often have different stress patterns (e.g. record vs record).

Assimilation
This document defines assimilation as a common phonological process where one sound becomes more like an adjacent sound. It occurs because the articulators in our speech are not capable of instantaneous movement. Examples of assimilation in English include /s/ becoming /ʃ/ before /j/ or /ʃ/, as in "bless you" and "this yacht." Assimilation also occurs in Kurdish, where sounds like /h æʃt/ become /hæʒdæ/ due to neighboring phonemes. The function of assimilation is to ease articulation as languages develop and sounds influence each other.

Rules of word stress in english
One word can only have one main stress, though some long words may have a secondary stress. Stress is always placed on vowels, not consonants. There are general rules for stress placement in multi-syllable words, such as stressing the first syllable in most two-syllable nouns and adjectives, and stressing the last syllable in most two-syllable verbs. However, stress placement can change the meaning or class of some words, like "present" as a noun versus a verb. Exceptions to the rules are also common.
Foundations of Grammar 16: What are tense and mood?
This document defines and provides examples of tense and mood in English grammar. It explains that mood refers to verb forms that indicate the speaker's attitude, such as indicative, imperative, subjunctive and conditional. Tense refers to verb forms that indicate time, such as past, present and future. The four moods in English are defined as follows: indicative for facts, imperative for commands, subjunctive for subjective attitudes, and conditional for wishes or hypothetical situations. Examples are given for each.
Syllable and Syllable Stress
This document discusses syllables and syllable stress in words. It defines a syllable as the sound of a vowel created when pronouncing letters like A, E, I, O, U, and their combinations. Words can have one syllable (monosyllabic) or multiple syllables (polysyllabic). All multisyllabic words have one syllable that is stressed, making it longer, higher in pitch, and louder. The document provides examples of syllable breakdowns and stressed syllables in words. It also outlines general rules for determining stress patterns based on a word's ending, like stressing the penultimate or ante-penultimate syllable. The importance of accurate syllable stress for fluent English is emphasized
Word and sentence stress
This document provides an overview and exercises on English phonetics, specifically word stress and sentence stress. It explains that word stress refers to emphasizing certain syllables within words, while sentence stress emphasizes certain words within sentences. It then gives examples of the 8 common word stress patterns in English words containing 1-4 syllables. Exercises are included to practice identifying word stress. Sentence stress is described as giving English its rhythm, with content words usually stressed over structure words. More examples and exercises are provided to practice sentence stress through intonation.
Homophones LANE 333 - Dr.Shadia Yousef Banjar
This document discusses homophones in morphology. It defines a homophone as a word that sounds like another word but has a different meaning and spelling. The document notes that in morphology, homophones must be remembered as different morphemes. It provides examples of homophones like "sale/sail" and "meet/meat" to illustrate this point. The document also explains that this is true for bound morphemes like verbal, noun plural, and noun possessive suffixes that are homophonous but represent different morphemes.

It describes how to introduce the phonic method to students, teach sound blending, and use the drills with techniques like grapho-vocal exercises. Teachers are advised to start with Drill 1, stress accuracy over speed, and supplement the drills with simple sentence and story reading once students have mastered certain sounds. The goal is to help students develop correct responses to written symbols and gain independent reading skills.
Phonics meeting parents powerpoint
Phonics is a method of teaching children to read by learning the sounds associated with letters and letter combinations. It involves blending sounds together to read words and segmenting words into sounds to spell them. The document outlines the six phases of phonics instruction used in the UK, describing the letter-sound correspondences and reading/spelling skills taught in each phase from nursery through Year 2. Suggestions are provided for how parents can support phonics learning at home through reading, writing, word games, and using educational websites.
Phonetics and phonology pp1
Phonetics is the study of speech sounds and their production, transmission, and perception. It examines how sounds are made, their physical properties, and how they are perceived. Phonology studies the sound systems within languages and the abstract patterns and relationships between sounds. The main difference is that phonetics looks at actual speech sounds, while phonology examines the functional and contrastive sound units (phonemes) in a language and how they are organized. The aim of studying phonology is to understand the phoneme inventory of a language and how phonemes pattern and relate to each other through phonological processes.

The document discusses the Phonics Workshop held on February 20th 2013, which focused on Phase 1 of the Letters and Sounds phonics program including developing children's speaking, listening, and pre-reading skills through activities that work on discrimination of sounds, rhythm, rhyme, alliteration, and oral blending/segmenting. It also covered letter formation, sounds, and resources used for Phase 1 activities.
Teaching Of Phonetics And Phonology At Ma Level In Pakistan
The document discusses the teaching of phonetics and phonology at the M.A. level in Pakistan. It notes that pronunciation is an important but often neglected aspect of language learning. Teaching phonetics and phonology faces several challenges in Pakistan, including a lack of language labs, large class sizes, and differences between the sound systems of Urdu and English. Pakistani students need more listening and speaking practice to develop communicative skills, yet the education system emphasizes reading and writing over oral skills. Improving the teaching of phonetics and phonology would benefit both students and teachers.

Compiled essay
The subject is a 10-year-old Malaysian Chinese student whose mother tongue is Mandarin. An analysis of the subject's reading identifies several pronunciation issues. The subject has difficulty with consonant clusters and differentiating long and short vowels. He also substitutes some sounds like /θ/ and /ð/ with similar alveolar stops. Interference from his mother tongue of Mandarin Chinese, exposure to multiple languages in Malaysia's educational system, and lack of English language experience likely contribute to his pronunciation problems. Both segmental features like consonants and vowels as well as suprasegmental features like stress, rhythm, and intonation are important to correct in order to communicate effectively in English.
Aspects of Connected Speech.ppt
This document discusses several aspects of connected speech in English pronunciation including weak forms, elision, assimilation, yod coalescence, and linking /r/. Weak forms refer to changes in pronunciation of function words like prepositions, auxiliaries, and conjunctions when they are unstressed. Elision is the omission of sounds like /t/ and /d/ between consonants. Assimilation involves sounds changing place or manner of articulation to blend with neighboring sounds. Yod coalescence fuses /j/ with preceding /t/ or /d/ sounds. Linking /r/ describes inserting an /r/ sound between a word ending in a vowel and a following word beginning with a vowel

It explains the tongue position for /n/ and /ŋ/, provides example words containing those sounds, and identifies minimal pairs to distinguish the sounds. It also discusses the difference between the /ŋ/ sound, as in "sing," and the /ŋg/ sound, as in "single," and provides spelling patterns that help determine whether "ng" is pronounced as /ŋ/ or /ŋg/. Examples are given for each sound and spelling pattern to help learners distinguish and practice the different sounds.
Aspects Of Connected Speech
1) Weak forms occur when commonly used words like prepositions and conjunctions are unstressed in connected speech. Their vowels shift towards a schwa sound.
2) Yod coalescence is where /j/ assimilates to a preceding /t/ or /d/ sound, like "but you" becoming "betcha".
3) Elision omits sounds like /t/ between consonants or in contractions like "can't". Assimilation changes sounds to match neighboring sounds.

Th sounds-pronunciation-091006165657-phpapp01
The document provides information about pronouncing the "th" sounds in English. It discusses the two "th" sounds, /T/ and /D/, and explains that /T/ is unvoiced while /D/ is voiced. It also notes that "th" sounds are difficult for some language learners due to not existing in their native language. Suggestions are given for practicing the sounds, such as saying words slowly and using lists of words containing "th".
Connected Final Present
1) Weak forms occur when commonly used words like prepositions, auxiliary verbs, and conjunctions are unstressed in connected speech. Their vowels shift towards a schwa sound.
2) Yod coalescence is a phenomenon where /j/ assimilates to a preceding /t/ or /d/ sound, like "but you" becoming "bətʃu".
3) Elision omits sounds like consonants between consonants and the /t/ in "not" before consonants, speeding up connected speech.
Long and Short Vowel Sounds.pptx
The document discusses pronunciation accuracy, specifically focusing on long and short vowel sounds in English. It explains that pronunciation refers to clarity of language rather than accents. Mispronouncing vowels can cause miscommunication. The International Phonetic Alphabet is introduced as a way to represent sounds, and long and short vowel symbols are shown. Examples of minimal word pairs that differ only in long or short vowels are provided for practice. Tasks involve recording oneself practicing vowel sounds and reciting poems to identify long and short vowels.
Emerging south east asian englishes and intelligibility
While pronunciation features of different ASEAN Englishes may cause occasional misunderstandings, overall intelligibility is generally high. Pronunciation differences tend to be in consonant substitutions and vowel realizations, with features shared across languages. Problems arise particularly when features not common to a listener's variety are used, such as the Burmese pronunciation of /p/ as [b]. Collocation errors and differences in vocabulary meaning between varieties also present challenges but do not severely hamper communication.
Phonetics
1) The document is a lecture about English words, sentences, weak and strong forms, assimilation, and intonation.
2) Weak forms occur in unstressed words and are pronounced quickly, while strong forms occur in stressed words.
3) Intonation involves changing vocal pitch to convey meaning, with rising intonation used in questions and falling intonation used in statements.
Pronunciation of consonant sounds ed
This document provides instruction on pronouncing several consonant sounds in English: /ʃ/, /ʧ/, /Ʒ/, and /dƷ/. It explains the tongue position and air flow for each sound. Examples of words containing each sound are given. Listeners are asked to practice distinguishing between the similar sounds in sentences and words like "wash" vs "watch", "measure" vs "treasure", and "ledger" vs "leisure". Exercises are included to have readers identify the sounds and practice pronunciation.
Phonetics summary
The document provides information about various phonetic processes in English, including:
1) The sounds /l/ and /r/ are liquids that involve extensive movement of the speech organs compared to other consonants.
2) When a front vowel is followed by /l/ or /r/, an intermediary /ə/ sound is often inserted as the tongue moves from the front vowel position to the back position for the liquid.
3) Syllabic consonants can form syllables without a vowel when /t/, /d/, or /n/ is followed by an unstressed syllable containing /l/ or /n/.

The t and_the_d_sounds_in_english
The document provides a lesson on pronouncing the /t/ and /d/ sounds in English. It explains that the mouth position is the same for both sounds, with the tip of the tongue placed behind the teeth. The difference is that /t/ is voiceless while /d/ is voiced. It provides examples of words containing these sounds and sentences to practice pronunciation. It also notes exceptions where the /t/ sound may be omitted in certain contexts like between vowels or before /n/.
How to teach the phonemic chart - teacher training workshop
A presentation designed to be used in conjunction with handouts, to prepare ESL teachers to use the IPA in their classroom.
Phonetics Ppt
The document discusses common problems with English vowel and consonant spelling, including:
- English has more vowel sounds than letters to represent them
- Vowel letters can represent long or short vowel sounds
- Consonant substitutions often involve replacing voiced sounds with unvoiced ones
It provides examples of rules for determining long and short vowel sounds based on spelling, and discusses how consonants like /θ/ and /ð/ can be confused with /t/ and /d/. The differences between consonants like /ʒ/ and /j/ are also outlined.
Pronunciation Made Easy - appi2017
Teresa Almeida d’Eça presents a simple strategy for teaching pronunciation to English language learners using their native Portuguese sounds. The strategy bridges students' first language (L1) of Portuguese to their second language (L2) of English by having students use familiar Portuguese sounds to pronounce English words. This helps students overcome difficulties with English pronunciation in an intuitive way. By starting with basic sounds, letters, and high-frequency words, the strategy generates change and improves students' intelligibility, comprehensibility, and confidence in speaking and listening in English.

Consonants positional variation, processes & strategies
This document discusses how consonant sounds vary based on their positional context and the surrounding sounds. It provides examples of phonemes and allophones, and how consonants are influenced by their position in words. Key points include: voiceless stops are aspirated initially but not medially; word-final stops are often unreleased; nasals and liquids can function as syllabic consonants; /l/ has light and dark allophones depending on position; consonant clusters are common initially and finally in English words but have restrictions on combinations; and clusters undergo processes like devoicing, affrication, reduction, and resyllabification.
