    Phrasing and Blending

    Uploaded by

    Rechelle Dalusung
    The document discusses phrasing and blending in language. It states that each language has its own rhythms, cadences and inflections. To learn a new language correctly, an adult must understand these unique qualities of the language. Speaking a new language is compared to learning a new musical instrument. The document then defines phrasing as dividing sentences into logical units marked by rhythm and pauses, and blending as smoothly connecting words to sound like one word. Examples of both phrasing and blending in language are provided.

    PHRASING

    -refers to the manner in which


    the sentences are divided into
    smaller units and marked by
    rhythm pauses.
    PHRASING

    • Sometimes called the oral punctuation because


    in the oral speech, sentences are divided into
    logical units that reinforce the meaning of the
    most important parts within sentences.
    It is also a thought group consists of words
    that are pronounced together to be able to
    express a thought or an idea. Rhythm units
    are shorter combinations within the thought
    groups that are pronounced in a a single
    breath stream.
    A pause accomplishes three things:
    • It enables the speaker to catch his
    breath
    • It is a means to deliver a message
    clearly
    • It may emphasize the point being
    made
    • A single bar (/) is used to mark a rhythm
    pause.
    • A double bar (//) marks the end of a
    thought group.
    EXAMPLES:

    • When things go wrong/ it becomes


    easy to give up/ to blame other people/
    and to do nothing.//

    • When our vision is dim/help us to


    see.//
    I AM WORRIED

    O, Lord, I am worried. I know that it does me no good to worry, but I cannot shake it off.
    It not only does no good to worry, it does harm. What I cannot change, I cannot change. But
    meanwhile, if I am caught up in worry , I’m apt to do poorly what I could do well.
    Help me to trust to you those concerns beyond my reach so that I may give my full attention
    to living each moment as it comes.
    BLENDING
