This document outlines the syllabus and content for a course on phonetics and spoken English. It covers 5 units: 1) introduction to phonetics and phonology, the organs of speech, and description of speech sounds; 2) the sounds of English vowels and consonants; 3) stress, accent, rhythm, assimilation and intonation; 4) phonetic transcription; and 5) spoken English in various situations involving dialogues. Each unit provides details on the topics covered such as descriptions of vowels and consonants, examples of stress and intonation, systems of transcription, and a sample dialogue.
Modernism and In a Station of the Metro poem by Ezra PoundMohan Raj Raj
The PPT helps to understand the modernism and the poem of Ezra Pound. Poetry as it attempts to ‘break from the pentameter’ incorporates the use of visual spacing as a poetic device, and does not contain verbs.
The syllable is a constant feature in every spoken language in the world and most people have an intuitive sense of what a syllable is. Each language has its own rules about what kinds of syllables are allowed, and what kinds aren’t - but the general structure is the same everywhere.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Phonetics, phonology, phoneme
Phonetics: Deals with the production,
transmission and reception of speech
sounds.
Phonology: Deals with the way in which the
speech sounds of a language function.
Phoneme: Deals with phonological segment
that can be phonetically predicted by a
rule
14. Features of Consonants
Voicing (state of the glottis)
Place of articulation
Manner of articulation
15. Consonants vs. Vowels

list (a) voicing (b) place of articulation and (c)
manner of articulation for consonants (3
features)

17. UNIT III
STRESS, ACCENT, RHYTHM,
ASSIMILATION AND INTONATION
STRESS and ACCENT:
When a word has more than one syllable, one of them is spoken with more
force than the rest , this force is called stress.
While accent is a prominence given to a word or syllable by means of stress
and intonation
In a polysyllabic word, one of the syllables is pronounced with greater
prominence than other syllables.
The syllable that is pronounced with greater prominence in the same word is
said to be “accented” or “stressed”.
Accent is easily detected in speech but in writing accent is marked by placing a
small vertical bar in front of the syllable which is stressed.
18. RHYTHM
English is a stress-timed language, unlike
French and Tamil which are syllable-timed
languages.
TWO TYPES OF RHYTHM:
1)SYLLABLE-TIMED RHYTHM
2)STRESS-TIMED RHYTHM
19. ASSIMILATION
It is a general term in phonetics for the process
by which one phoneme or speech-sound is
replaced by another under the influence of the
neighbouring sound.
22. MEANING OF INTONATION
Intonation is the music of a language.
It is the name given to a sentence stress.
Every language has melody in it.
pitch behaves like a wave and it rises and falls
This modulation of voice or speech – sounds
is called intonation.
