primary stress in that sentence (or phrase) and all the other syllables have a secondary stress. There are words in English that may be pronounced in two different ways in weak forms, in strong forms. Function words (auxiliary verbs, prepositions, conjunctions and certain pronouns) have weak forms. Strong forms replace the weak forms at the end of the sentence, being contrasted with another word, there is a co-ordinated use of prepositions, emphasis. Problems in phonemic analysis. Essay. There are two main areas of difficulty. The first can be called the problem of analysis: we may accept the principle of the phoneme as a fundamental unit in language, but we find difficulty in deciding what are the phonemes of English. The result of this is that different writers produce different analyses of the phonemic system of English. It is possible to treat each of the pair t, d as a single consonant phoneme - the one-phoneme analysis, and it is
The teachers should offer their students opportunities to recognise moods and intentions on tape (CD) or through the way we ourselves model them. We can get students to imitate the way these moods are articulated. The key to successful pronunciation teaching is to have our students to listen and notice how English is spoken either on audio or video or from teachers themselves. The more aware they are the chance that their own intelligibility levels will rise. The phonemic alphabet: to use or not? Many students have problems of sound and spelling correspondence, so for them it is useful to introduce different phonemes and different symbols. Another thing is dictionaries usually give the pronunciation of the words in phonemic symbols. When both teacher and students know the symbols it is easier to explain what mistake has occurred and why it has happened; we can use the symbols for pronunciation tasks and games. Students should only recognise the different

Otto Jespersen: "The Norman invasion broke the proud Teutonic backbone of the English language" From now on, English open to loanwords Flower, forest, valley, river*, face-norman french loans Peculiarities of Old English pronunciation and spelling /f/ and /v/ were allophones, i.e. there was no phonemic difference between them: no minimal pairs where /f/ and /v/ would make a difference in meaning. The letter f used for both. In a voiced environment the pronunciation voiced, ie /v/, in a voiceless environment unvoiced, ie /f/. At the beginning of words: debatable. By constrast, vowel length was phonemic: man /man/ human being, man mn /ma :n/ - evil; witchcraft In old manuscripts vowel length indicated by ´ (like a stress mark), in modern editions a strike over the vowel.

g. • Cattle / chattel / capital Dialect-based doublets: road (from ride on horseback), raid (from same), shirt ( from skirt), in Anglo-borman and French: guarantee (warrant in French is garant), thesaurus (treasure, storehouse, this is from Greek), computer (in French it means count). Etymological doublets are two or more words of the same lan¬guage which were derived by different routes from the same basic word, but differing in meaning and phonemic shape. For example, the word 'fact' ('факт, действительность') and 'feat' ('подвиг') are derived from the same Latin word 'facere' ('делать') but 'fact' was borrowed directly from Latin and 'feat' was borrowed through French. In modern English there are doublets of Latin, Germanic and na¬tive origin. Many Latin doublets are due to the different routes by which they entered the English
Among the first to study Russian dialects was Lomonosov in the 18th century. In the 19th, Vladimir Dal compiled the first dictionary that included dialectal vocabulary. Detailed mapping of Russian dialects began at the turn of the 20th century. In modern times, the monumental Dialectological Atlas of the Russian Language ( [dlktitskj ats ruskv jzka]), was published in three folio volumes 19861989, after four decades of preparatory work. Orthography Russian spelling is reasonably phonemic in practice. It is in fact a balance among phonemics, morphology, etymology, and grammar; and, like that of most living languages, has its share of inconsistencies and controversial points. A number of rigid spelling rules introduced between the 1880s and 1910s have been responsible for the former whilst trying to eliminate the latter. The current spelling follows the major reform of 1918, and the final codification of 1956. An
processing (Craik and Lockhart) was put forward partly as a result of the criticism leveled at the multi-store model. Instead of concentrating on the stores/structures involved, this theory concentrates on the processes involved in memory. The basic idea is that memory is just what happens as a result of processing information. There are three ways to process information: 1) Structural processing: we encode only the physical qualities of something. 2) Phonemic processing: we encode the sound of something. 3) Semantic processing: we encode the meaning of something and relate it to some other words that have the same (or a personal) meaning. Craik and Tulving investigated how the levels of processing influence memory. Participants were presented with a series of 60 words about which they had to answer one of three questions. Some questions required the participants to process the word in a deep way and others in a shallow way
