8:书中有一关于语调的练习,因系统限制,不能直接发到网上,详见附件.由此可见,自已在读文章时重读单词和音节太多,有时也不够准确,这是语调中存在的一个重要问题,值得关注.

9、Instead of thinking of each word as a unit, think of  sound units.
10、When you have a word ending in an 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  stairstep. 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 stairstep.

Chapter 1 American Intonation
American Intonation Do'sConnect Words to Form Sound Groups
Use Staircase Intonation
American Intonation Don'tsDo Not Speak Word by Word
Reduced Sounds Are "Valleys"Weak sounds: some vowels are reduced completely to schwas, while others are only toned down.
Word Groups and PhrasingPauses for Related Thoughts, Ideas, or for Breathing
Chapter 2 Word Connections

Liaison Rule 1: Consonant + VowelEx. My name is... => my nay-miz
Liaison Rule 2: Consonant + ConsonantWhen the two consonants are in a similar position(behind the teeth, at the lips, or in the throat), they are going to be linked together.
Ex. I've been late twice. => I'v bin la twice.
TH is a special case. When TH connects with certain sounds, the two sounds blend together to form a composite sound.
Liaison Rule 3: Vowel + VowelThey are connected with a glide.
A glide is either a slight [y] sound or a slight [w] sound.
Ex. I also need the other one. => I(y)also need thee(y)other one.

Liaison Rule 4: T, D, S, or Z + YT + Y = CH
Ex. What's your name? => wəcher name
D + Y = J
Ex. Did you see it? => di jə see it
S + Y = SH
Ex. Yes, you are. => yeshu are
Z + Y = ZH
Ex. How's your family? => haozhier famlee
Chapter 3 Cat? Caught? Cut?
The [æ] SoundDrop your jaw down as if you were going to say [ɑ]; then from that position, try to say [ɛ].
The [ɑ] SoundRelax your tongue and drop your jaw as far down as it will go.
The Schwa [ə] SoundPut your hand on your diaphragm and push until a grunt escapes. Don't move your jaw, tongue, or lips; just allow the sound to flow past your vocal cords.
Chapter 4 - T
Rule 1: Top of the StaircaseT is pronounced T.
Ex. Ted or Italian.
Rule 2: Middle of the StaircaseT is pronounced as D.
Ex. Betty [Beddy], Italy [Idaly].
Rule 3: Bottom of the StaircaseT is in the held position -- the tongue is in the T position, but the air is'nt released.
Ex. hot [ho(t)].
Rule 4: "Held T" Before NDon't pop the T -- the tongue is in the T position -- but release the air with the N, not the T. There is no [t] and no [ə].
Ex. written [ri(t)n].
Rule 5: The Silent T[t] and [n] are so close in the mouth that the [t] can simply disappear.
Ex. interview [innerview].
Chapter 5 - L
The Compound Sound of LL is a combination of [ə] and [l].
The [ə] is created in the throat.
The [l] requires a clear movement of the tongue. First, the tip must touch behind the teeth. Then, the back of the tongue must then drop down and back for the continuing schwa sound.
L和中文"ㄌ"的發音方式有很大的差別,很容易混淆,要特別留意。
Chapter 6 - R
發音方式和中文北京腔"ㄦ"是相同的。舌頭捲起後位於嘴巴的中央處。
Chapter 7 - TH
Voiced THthis, that, the, those, them, they, their, there, then, than, though.
發音方式類似Z,不同之處在舌頭像蛇一樣快速伸出去再縮回來。
Unvoiced THthank, think, thing, thermometer, theologian.
發音方式類似S,不同之處在舌頭像蛇一樣快速伸出去再縮回來。
Chapter 8
ɛ, ɪ, ʊ, ə發音位置都在喉嚨。高度由上而下分別是ɛ, ɪ, ʊ, ə
u v.s. ʊu發音位置在嘴巴前方。
ʊ發音位置在喉嚨。
i v.s. ɪ要能夠區分:



single stairstep
double stairstep
tense
beat
bead
lax
bit
bid

i的發音和中文"一"是相同的。
ɪ的發音部位在喉嚨,臉部肌肉是不動的。
Chapter 9 - V
vf的voiced版本。
f的發音:下嘴唇提高輕觸上門牙,往外吹氣。
Chapter 10 - S,Z
s如果跟在unvoiced consonant之後,發音是s
s如果跟在vowel, voiced consonant另一個s之後,發音是z
Chapter 11 Tense and Lax Vowels
中國人不太會分辨æ,e,ɛ,要特別留意。
Chapter 12 M,N,NG
m, n, ng聲音都是從鼻子出來。
m: 嘴巴閉著。
n: 嘴巴微開,舌頭擋住空氣不從嘴巴跑出來。
ng: 同n,但舌頭背面往後方用力,在喉嚨發音。
Chapter 13 H,K,G,NG,R
h, k, g, ng, r都是在喉嚨發音。

10、There is a distinct stress and rhythm pattern to both spelling and numbers—usually in groups of three or four letters or numbers, with the stress falling on the last member of the group.

15、Reduce the positive can to [k 'n] and stress the verb. Make the negative can't ([kæn(t)]) sound very short and stress both can't and the verb. This will contrast with the positive, emphasized can, which is doubled—and the verb is not stressed. If you have trouble with can't before a word that starts with a vowel, such as open, put in a very small [(d)]— The keys kæn(d) open the locks.

I can do it.        [I k'n do it]        positive
I can't do it.        [I kæn(t)do it]        negative
I can do it.        [I kææn do it]        extra positive

16\A different change occurs when you go from an adjective or a noun to a verb. The stress stays in the same place, but the -mate in an adjective is completely reduced [-m't], whereas in a verb, it is a full
[a] sound [-mεit].

March  2,

1、TO 的发音:
(1)The preposition to usually reduces so much that it's like dropping the vowel.Use a t' or tə sound to replace to.
(2)If that same to follows a vowel sound, it will become d' or də.
2、AT的发音:
At is just the opposite of to. It's a small grunt followed by a reduced [t]. If at is followed by a vowel sound, it will become 'd or əd.

3、It and at sound the same in context —['t]and they both turn to 'd or əd between vowels or voiced consonants.

4、for is not reduced at  the end of a sentence.

5\Demonstrative指示代词

6\That  is  a  special  case  because  it  serves  three  different  grammatical  functions.  The  relative pronoun and the conjunction are reducible. The demonstrative pronoun cannot be reduced to a schwa sound. It must stay [æ].

28\ Words are connected when a word ends in a consonant sound and the next word starts with a vowel sound, including the semivowels W, Y, and R.
作者: hdgst    时间: 2009-3-3 23:15

29\ Words are connected when a word ends in a consonant sound and the next word starts with a consonant that is in a similar position. There are three general locations—the lips, behind the teeth, or in the throat. If a word ends with a sound created in the throat and the next word starts with a sound from that same general location, these words are going to be linked together. The same with the other two locations.

50\The "held T" is, strictly speaking, not really a T at all. Remember [t] and [n] are very close in the mouth (see Liaisons, Exercise 2-5). If you have an N immediately after a T, you don't pop the T—the tongue is in the T position—but you release the air with the N, not the T. Another point to remember is that you need a sharp upward sliding intonation up to the "heldT," then a quick drop for the N.

puff  [pʌf]v.喘气;抽烟;喷出 n.(抽)一口烟;喘息

68\, an adjective and a noun make a descriptive phrase, and the second word is stressed. Two nouns make a compound noun, or set  phrase,  and  the  first  word  is  stressed. When you modify a descriptive phrase by adding an adjective or adverb, you maintain the original intonation pattern and simply add an additional stress point.
When you modify a set phrase, you maintain the same pattern, leaving the new adjective unstressed. Combine three things: finger + nail + clipper. Leave the stress on the first word: fíngernail clipper.
69\ As  you  know,  the  main  job  of  intonation is to announce  new  information. However, there is a secondary function, and that is to alert the listener of changes down the road. Certain shifts will be dictated for the sake of sentence balance. Set phrases and contrast don't change, but the intonation of a descriptive phrase will move from the second word to the first, without changing the meaning. The stress change indicates that it's not the end of
the sentence, but rather, there is more to come. This is why it is particularly important to speak in phrases, instead of word by word.

38\ Americans end their words with vowel sounds and start them with consonants, just as in Chinese! It's really a question of rewriting the English script in your head that you read from when you speak.
39\ conversely  [ˈkɔnvə:sli]ad.相反(地)
40\ Because of spelling, the ä sound can easily be misplaced. The ä sound exists in Chinese, but when you see an o, you might want to say [o], so hot sounds like hoht instead of haht. Remember, most of the time, the letter o is pronounced ah. This will give you a good reference point for whenever you want to say ä instead of [o]; astronomy, cäll, läng, prägress, etc.
41\ tense vowels indicate that you tense your lips
or tongue, while lax vowels mean that your lips and tongue are relaxed and the sound is produced in your  throat.  Unvoiced  final  consonants  (t,  s,  k,  p,  ch,  f)  mean  that  the  vowel  is  short  and  sharp; voiced final consonants (d, z, g, b, j, v) mean that the vowel is doubled
42\ Some people pronounce the sh in a particularly Chinese-sounding way. It seems that the tongue is too curled back, which changes the sound. Make sure that the tongue is flat, the tongue tip is just at the ridge behind the top teeth, and that only a thin stream of air is allowed to escape.
