Exercise 1-52; Reducing Articles CD 2 Track 25
When you used the rubber band with [Däg zeet bounz] and when you built your own sentence, you saw that intonation 1 reduces the unstressed words. Intonation is the peak and reduced sounds are the valleys. In the beginning, you should ma ke extra-high peaks and long, deep valleys. When you are not sure, reduce. In the following exercise, work with this idea. Small words such as articles, prepositions, pr onouns, conjunctions, relative pronou ns, and auxiliary 2 verbs are lightly skimmed over and almost not pronounced.
You have seen how intonation changes the meaning in words and sentences. Inside a one-syllable word, it distinguishes betwee n a final voiced or unvoiced consonant 3 be-ed and bet. Inside a longer word, éunuch vs unί que, the pronunciation and meani ng change in terms of vocabulary. In a sentence (He seems nice; He seems nice.), the meaning changes in terms of intent.
In a sentence, intonation can also make a cl ear vowel 4 sound disappe ar. When a vowel is stressed, it has a certain sound; when it is not stressed, it usually sounds like uh, pronounced [ə]. Small words like to, at, or as are usually not stressed, so the vowel disappears.
