    Task 4 – Suprasegmentals

    WORKSHOP 2_ COLLABORATIVE EXERCISES

    1. Answer the following questions and use APA citation and


    references to reinforce your ideas:

     What is a phoneme?
    A phoneme is the smallest unit of sound in a language that can
    distinguish meaning. It is the mental representation of a sound
    that native speakers recognize as distinct from other sounds in
    the same language (Roach, 2009).

     What is rhythm in English language pronunciation?


    Rhythm in English pronunciation refers to the pattern of
    stressed and unstressed syllables in words and phrases. English
    is a stress-timed language, meaning that stressed syllables
    tend to occur at regular intervals (Ladefoged & Johnson, 2014).

     What is intonation in English language pronunciation?


    Intonation in English pronunciation refers to the pattern of
    voice pitch used in utterances, which allows the speaker to
    convey attitudes and emotions (Roach, 2009). Intonation can
    also change the meaning of a sentence, as in questions versus
    statements.

     What is stress in English language pronunciation?


    Stress in English pronunciation refers to the prominence of a
    syllable or word in a sentence, achieved through an increase in
    force of articulation, pitch, and/or duration (Ladefoged &
    Johnson, 2014). In English, stress typically falls on the tonic
    syllables of content words.

     What is the difference between syllable stress and word stress


    in sentences?
    Syllable stress refers to the prominence of a syllable within a
    word, while word stress refers to the prominence of a word
    within a sentence. In English, syllable stress is fixed in most
    words, but word stress can vary depending on the sentence
    structure and information focus (Roach, 2009).
