Compound Stress in English
Author: Gero Kunter
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 3110254697
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
While it has long been noted that the first element of most, but not of all English nominal compounds is perceptually most prominent (e.g. TABLE cloth vs. paper CUP), a principled empirical investigation of the acoustics, perception, and the phonological distribution of these two prominence patterns has been missing. Using a corpus of spoken language, the current volume presents the first thorough and detailed investigation of these areas, while also introducing several methodological and statistical innovations to the field.

Describing Spoken English
Author: Charles W. Kreidler
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134747071
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
Describing Spoken English provides a practical and descriptive introduction to the pronunciation of contemporary English. It presumes no prior knowledge of phonetics and phonology. Charles Kreidler describes the principal varieties of English in the world today. Whilst concentrating on the phonological elements they share, the author sets out specific differences as minor variations on a theme. Although theoretically orientated towards generative phonology, theory is minimal and the book is clear, comprehensive and accessible to undergraduate and postgraduate students of linguistics and English Language. Numerous exercises are included to encourage further study.

A Contrastive Metrical Analysis of Main Word Stress in English and Cairene Colloquial Arabic
Author: Mohamed Fathy Khalifa
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443896160
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 460
Book Description
This book analyses Cairenes’ interlingual errors in English main word stress following Halle and Vergnaud’s (1987) metrical model and Archibald’s (1998) parameter resetting. The findings show the difficulty the research subjects had in stressing items with stress different from Cairene Colloquial Arabic (CCA) and with stress similar to CCA. The book also shows that the subjects’ correct stress patterns were due to parameter resetting, and that English stress patterns that are both different and more marked than corresponding CCA stress patterns caused learning difficulties for the subjects.
