Write in detail, giving examples whenever appropriate, on stress and rhythm of connected speech in English.

“Rhythm” – The exacting importance of rhythm is ” a solid standard rehashed example of sounds or developments ” ( New Oxford Advance Learners’ Dictionary seventh release , 2005) .

The two most regular rhythm saw in the dialects talked the world over are :

Syllable – planned Rhythm and

Stress – planned Rhythm

Stress-Timed Rhythm

In dialects with this kind of rhythm , there is a general occurence of stressed syllables.

Therefore the unstressed syllables are expressed rapidly or eaten up . This normal occurence of stressed syllables gives English its trademark clear rhythm .

Stress-Timed Rhythm

The length of the sentences doesn’t influence its rhythm , i.e. a basic sentence, for example, :

Illustration:

Take a gander at these sentences :

I am going to Delhi .

furthermore, a genuinely long one, for example, :

You are not heading off to that place , would you say you are?

will take a similar time when talked with stress coordinated rhythm . All the strong words are the ones which are stressed , while the rest are expressed rapidly to top off the hole .Thus ,the time term between ‘going ” and ‘Delhi/place'(sentence 1 and 2 )will stay same paying little respect to the way that there is single word in the middle of (sentence 1) ortwo words (sentence 2 ).

Give us a chance to take a gander at another illustration:

Illustration:

Read this sentence :

Individuals have been reviling me for composing on this point.

The words in intense are stressed, put accentuation on them and group the unstressed words rapidly .

Entertaining ,isn’t it ? In any case, that is the means by which you will have the capacity to take a few to get back some composure over the English rhythm .SO PRACTICE !

Presently , tune in to this recitation of Wordsworth’s celebrated ballad The Solitary Reaper.Try to peruse along.[The sonnet ]

Syllable – coordinated Rhythm

At this point you more likely than not speculated that in syllable-coordinated rhythm there is a general time interim between every syllable ,Languages, for example, Hindi , are syllable – planned . That implies that an equivalent time interim is seen between two syllables. Presently , you know why Indians communicate in English distinctively ? They unwittingly make utilization of syllable coordinated rhythm while communicating in English , expressing all syllables whether stressed or unstressed at level with interim of time.

Syllable-Timed Rhythm

Tune in to the recitation of Hindi/Urdu lyric ,Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna[Tamanna] . Note how every syllable is articulated unmistakably , with approach stress, there is no skipping of words in the middle.

Numerous understudies imagine that learning English is tied in with learning sentence structure, consonants, vowels, and vocabulary. These shape the fundamental establishment of a dialect, be that as it may, in the event that you need to be comprehended when speaking American English, and on the off chance that you need to comprehend local speakers, it is basic that you enhance your stress and rhythm.

Stress

Stressing implies that speakers of English make certain syllables and words:

louder

longer

higher in pitch

Fundamentally, stressing intends to underscore a sound. Each word in English has only one syllable with an essential stress or accentuation.

In any case, it is not just fundamental to stress certain syllables and words, however we should likewise de-stress different syllables and words.

De-stressing implies that speakers of English make certain syllables and words:

more casual

weaker

Cases | Listen and Repeat

Specialist – > [en gə NEER] (second syllable is de-stressed; third syllable is stressed)

English – > [ING glish] (first syllable is stressed; second syllable is somewhat de-stressed)

Photo – > [PHO də graf] (first syllable is stressed, second syllable de-stressed, third syllable is optional stress)

Stressing and de-stressing syllables and words gives us rhythm in English.

Rhythm

Rhythm is the musicality of English– the good and bad times and the associated discourse and the connecting of words, which together, change how we say sentences.

Keep in mind, talking with remedy rhythm (musicality) is basic to being comprehended when you talk!

Rhythm originates from the mix of the two sorts of stress in American English:

1) Syllable stress in words (as talked about above)

2) Word stress in sentences

Word stress in sentences

Americans stress words in sentences that are imperative to the importance of the sentence. They convey the substance of the sentence. Fundamentally, in the event that you removed these substance words from the sentence, you would not comprehend the significance of that sentence.

Content Words

principle verbs

things

descriptive words

verb modifiers

negatives

wh-words

additions

Illustrations | Listen and Repeat

I HAVE to GO to SCHOOL.

I WANT my BROTHER to WIN.

It’s NOT the BEST IDEA.

Capacity Words

Keep in mind, rhythm and musicality in your discourse is tied in with stressing, as well as requires de-stressing, debilitating.

In English we de-stress the unnecessary, non-content words in a sentence, called the capacity words. These capacity words are made weaker, and some of the time basically vanish from a sentence.

Capacity words include:

articles

conjunctions

relational words

pronouns

assistant verbs

Tune in and Repeat

(Capacity words written in bring down case)

I HAVE to GO to SCHOOL.

I WANT my BROTHER to WIN.

It’s NOT the BEST IDEA.

Notice, I didn’t state, “I HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL”, however I said “I HAVE to GO to SCHOOL” [ay HAV t’GOW t’SKOOL].

I said the capacity words snappier and more casual than the imperative substance words. They practically turn out to be a piece of the substance words that tail them [t’GOW; t’SKOOL].

In the event that I forgot the insignificant capacity words from my sentences, you would in any case comprehend the general thought of what I’m stating.

Cases

*HAVE GO SCHOOL

*WANT BROTHER WIN

*NOT BEST IDEA

Actually, we hear youngsters talk like this all the time when they’re figuring out how to communicate in English, regardless we comprehend their essential messages.
