Answer the questions:
How do you pronounce these word combinations?
What happens in their articulation?
Why?
Give your own examples
Rule 1. When a word ends in /r/ sound next word begins with the vowel sound, the /r/ is pronounced in order to link the words. It is called linking /r/. Linking /r/ occurs between the words and word combinations.
Later on for example far away
Rule 2. When a word ends in a vowel next word begins with a vowel, in order to link these two vowel sounds we pronounce /r/ even there is not the letter r.
The idea is media event sofa over
But some native speakers of British English think that it is incorrect pronunciation.
Rule 3: When diphthongs /iy/, /ey/, /ay/, or /ɔ/ is followed by another word beginning with a vowel, the two words are connected by a /y/glide:
Be‿a sport Play‿a game Tie‿it up Employ‿a professional
Rule 4: When diphthongs /uw/, /ow/, or /aw/ is followed by another word beginning with a vowel, the two words are connected by a /w/ glide.
through‿it all slow‿and steady How‿are you?
Rule 5: If the end of the first word and the beginning of the nest word is the same consonant, the consonant is lengthened in order not to pronounce the same consonants twice:
Keep‿practicing less‿serious hot‿tea common‿names
TASK 1. Pronounce the following words and word combination with linking /r/.
Father-in-law daughter and son father and mother
More important a matter of time a lecture on history
A tour of Scotland sooner or later a number of things
A pair of jeans the winner of the race a letter of complaint
TASK 2. First match A's questions with B's answers in this conversation. Then look at the B parts and decide whether the links marked are /w/ links (write /w/) or /j/ links (write /j/).
1 A: Where are you going? B: By air.
2 A: When? B: Yes, I grew up there.
3 A: Why? B: Yes, a new umbrella.
4 A: Who is he? B: He asked me for one.
S A: Have you got cousins there, too? B: Tomorrow afternoon.
6 A: How will you get there? B: I'll stay a week.
7 A: How long will it take? B: To Austria. /w/
8 A: Have you been there before? B : No, they all live in France.
9 A: How long will you be there? B: It's too expensive.
10 A: Why don't you stay longer? B: To see Adam.
11 A: Will you take Adam a present? B: A few hours.
12 A: Why an umbrella? B: My uncle.
Now listen and check your answers. Press 'pause' before each B part and read it aloud. Then press 'play' again and compare your pronunciation with what follows. (Pronunciation in Use Unit 26. Ex.26.1)

|
Critic, effect, intellect, object, occupy, province, volunteer, characterize, economy, technical
|
Now answer the following questions:
What is stress?
How do you mark the stresses?
What types of stress do you know?
Rule 1. Stress in English is the prominence of the syllable, word and word groups in the sentence. There are following types of word stress: word stress, sentence stress and logical stress.
Word stress: in a word a syllable or two syllables can be pronounced stronger than others.
City happy family
Sentence stress: in a sentence a word or group of words can be pronounced stronger than others. In the English language nouns, verbs, adjective, adverbs, numeral are always stressed. Pronouns are not stressed except demontrative pronouns when they are in the function of subject they are stresse, but in the function of attribute they are not stressed. Modal verbs, auxiliary verbs are stressed at the beginning of the sentence. In verbal phrases the prepositions are stressed.
I go to school with my friend every day in the morning.
As to the force of word stress, there are distinguished two degrees of word stress: primary (strong) and secondary (weak) stress. A large group of polysyllabic words bear both the primary and the secondary stresses. There are several large groups of words in English with two primary stresses.
TASK 2. Read the word. Find the syllables and decide which syllable is stressed.

Lesson 18
Word stress in compound words
Lead in
Write the two-syllable words under the correct parts of speech.
bottle brother carry forget famous happy lovely pencil pocket begin happen yellow city
|
TASK1. Read these words, mark the stresses in the following compound words
Bookcase second hand
mobile phone first class
water bottle dish washer
teapot hand made
overnight apple-tree
Christmas cake dining room
Rule: Words composed of separable root morphemes are called compound. The spelling of the compound words differs. They may be spelt as one word, with a hyphen, or as two separate words.
Among compound words we find compound nouns, adjectives, verbs. Word stress in compounds depends on the semantic weight of the elements. When the first element determines, restricts the second one or introduces some contrast it is stressed while the second element of the compound re- mains unstressed (though the stressed vowel of the second element retains its qualitative and quantitative prominence).
Most English compound nouns have a strong stress on the first element.
E.g.: 'book-case, 'note-book, 'raincoat, 'blackboard
There are a few compound nouns with the primary stress on the second element.
E.g.: man'kind, short'coming
Although in most English compound nouns the first element is stressed, there are some compound nouns which have both a primary and a secondary stress, while some (very few) have two primary stresses:
'suit-case, 'apple-tree, 'blackboard
'hair-dresser, 'hair-cutter
'ice-'cream, 'arm-'chair, 'tea-'cup
Compound verbs have both elements stressed as they are of equal se- mantic importance.
E.g.: to 'turn 'on, to 'let smb. 'down, etc.
Compound adjectives have generally two stresses, for both elements are equally important in them.
E.g.: 'clean-'shaven, 'well-'bred, 'bare-'footed, 'first-'class
Compound adjectives with only one stress on the first element occur when the second element is semantically weak.
E.g.: 'spring-like, 'childlike, 'oval-shaped
Rule: All English words with two stresses are subjected to the influence of English rhythm in connected speech which is characterized by regular intervals between the stressed syllables. This dependence is traced even in words with one stress which may change its position in the word because of the rhythm of the sentence.
'four'teen He is 'just four\teen.
'after'noon Nearly 'every after\noon.
'good-'natured The 'mother is ext' remely good-\natured
TASK 2. Transcribe the word, mark the stress and comment on the stress position.
1. well educated ______________________________
2. bathroom ______________________________
3. inner city ______________________________
4. sunglasses ______________________________
5. first class ______________________________
6. motor bike ______________________________
7. earrings ______________________________
8. credit card ______________________________
9. play station ______________________________
10. hand bag ______________________________
TASK 3. Make up some compound words using words from columns A and B. Mark the stresses and explain the stress position.

group
|
Rule: There are some exceptions in which we put the stress not only on the first part but on the second part too.
If the first part of the compound word is an adjective: well educated, second hand
There may be stress on the 2nd part of a compound noun if the object in the second part is made out of the material in the first: wooden table, glass jar
The first part tells us where the second part is: car door, bath room, sun glasses
If the compound word is not a noun: old- fashioned, overnight, half price and etc.
TASK4. Do these compounds have main stress on their first part or their second part? Underline the syllable with the main stress. (Hint: Think about whether they are noun + noun compounds or adjective + noun compounds.)
chemical formula coffee shop sofa bed
bank account best man magnetic field
American football mobile phone tea strainer
artificial intelligence flight attendant space station
1st part is stressed

Lesson 19
Word stress in derived words
Lead in
Underline the suffixes or prefixes in the following words and give the root word for each one.
historical consistency solidify punishment rapidly politeness ability political presidency bottomless beautiful acidify investigation uniformity willingness powerless conservation purposeful government substantial immediately
|
Answer the following questions:
What is derived word?
How is it formed?
Where is the place of stress in derived words?
TASK 1. What possible suffixes could you put on these words? Use your dictionary to help you.
E.g.: confiden(t): confidence, confidently, confidential, confidentially
Critic
engine
intellect
object
offic(e)
oppos(e)
politic(s)
possib(le)
pron(o)unce
reliab(le)
theor(y)
univers(e
Rule: In most English words of two syllables the stress falls on the first syllable.
ready, husband, marriage
In disyllabic words with a prefix which has lost its meaning the stress falls on the second syllable, i.e. on the root syllable.
become, begin, pronounce, mistake, etc.
In words of French origin borrowed into English in the 16th century, the stress is very often (but not always) after the French manner, i.e. on the final syllable.
machine, police, regime
In most English words of three syllables the stress usually falls on the first syllable (which is the third syllable from the end).
family, cinema, colonist
Although there are also words with the stress on the second syllable.
remember, October, etc.
In most words of four or more syllables the stress falls on the third syllable from the end.
diplomacy, kilometre, etc.
Although in some four-syllable words it falls on the first syllable from the beginning.
University, socialism, etc.
The stress on the third syllable from the end is especially typical of polysyllabic words with the suffixes: - ize, - fy, - ate.
recognize, apologize, demonstrate, etc.
NOTE: 1) In disyllabic verbs with the same suffixes the stress falls on the last syllable. e.g.: dictate, surprise, defy
2) There are some four-syllable verbs with the suffix - ize in which the stress falls on the first syllable. These verbs are mainly of recent origin.
e.g.: characterize, regularize, hospitalize, etc.
Thus, the position of stress in many English words is not only determined by the English tendency to stress the initial syllable, but in some derivative words is connected with the suffixes by means of which these words are formed.
e.g.: social, organize, qualify, etc.
There are suffixes which attract the primary stress on the syllable immediately preceding them. They are as follows:
ion: opinion, occasion
ical: comical, logical
ious: malicious
iar: familiar
ity: stability
ety: variety
ual: conceptual
ience: experience itive: infinitive
ian: physician
ial: prudential
ecus: courageous
iency: efficiency
ient: expedient
cient: efficient
logy: psychology
graphy: geography
uous: continuous
logist: biologist
cracy: democracy
Some suffixes attract the primary stress onto themselves. There is a secondary
stress on the first syllable in words with such suffixes. These suffixes are as follows:
