This document discusses English rhythm and linking. It begins by introducing the group members and table of contents. It then defines rhythm as the length of time between accents in language, similar to music. The document explains that English has rhythm seen in phrases like "I bought a blue car". It analyzes the stress-time rhythm theory and defines the rhythmic "foot" as beginning with a stressed syllable followed by unstressed syllables. The document also covers linking sounds between words, such as adding /y/ between words ending in vowels and beginning in vowels. It provides examples of linking vowels, consonants, and within consonant blends. In conclusion, it summarizes that the key parts discussed are linking and rhythm.
