Английский язык. English Phoneme. Part II/II

Описание работы

1. Give examples of (a) single opposition, (b) double opposition, (c) multiple opposition.
Answer: a) pen – ben
b) pen – den
c) pen – then
2. Give theoretical and practical proofs to explain constitutive, recognitive and distinctive functions of phonemes.
Answer:
1) Constitutive (educational) function - stress unites syllables in a word by forming its stressed form. Without stress, the word is the coordination of syllables.
2) Distinctive function - words with a similar sound structure differ in speech only by their stress 'object - to object'; stress helps to distinguish complex words from the phrases 'blackboard – 'black' board.
3) Recognition function (cognitive) - stress helps to identify words. For example, an aim – a name [a?n ‘eim – a 'neim]. Distortion of percussion patterns can interfere with understanding or form a foreign accent.
