Phonology and Functions
Download as pptx, pdf0 likes157 views
Phonology is the study of sound systems in language. It includes phonemes, which are the smallest units of sound that make a difference in meaning, as well as word stress, sentence stress, and intonation. Phonology examines features like vowels, consonants, voiced and unvoiced sounds, and word stress. It also considers how sounds are connected in speech. Functions refer to the reasons we communicate, such as apologizing, greeting, or advising. Exponents are the language used to express functions, and they can vary based on context and level of formality. Focusing on functions in language teaching emphasizes communication and helps give grammar meaning.

This document provides an overview of phonology and language functions from a TKT module.
It defines phonology as the study of sounds and sound patterns in a language, including phonemes, word stress, sentence stress, and intonation. It also describes phonetic symbols and their use in TKT.
The document then discusses language functions such as apologizing, greeting, inviting, and thanking. It provides examples of exponents that convey different functions and notes that one function can have multiple exponents. Finally, it covers levels of formality and register in language.Module 1 tkt unit 1 and 2

Grammar refers to the rules and conventions for how words are combined to form sentences and convey meaning. It includes parts of speech, word forms with prefixes and suffixes, and phrases and clauses. Grammatical uses show how language works to communicate ideas through sentences. Lexis refers to individual words and word combinations, and how words can have denotative, contextual, and relational meanings through affixation, compounding, collocations, idioms, synonyms, and varieties of English.Tkt unit 11

Errors are a natural part of language learning and occur when learners attempt to produce language structures beyond their current abilities. There are several types of errors, including those due to interference from the learner's first language, developmental errors from overgeneralizing rules, and slips from lack of concentration. Learners' developing language system is called an "interlanguage" which is not fixed but progresses as they incorporate corrections and new structures. While errors indicate areas for improvement, teachers must determine when and how to provide feedback, as immediate correction may not be helpful and allowing mistakes in fluency activities can build confidence.Unit 3 and 4 (TKT)

This document provides definitions and explanations of key concepts related to grammar and lexis. It defines grammar as how words are combined, changed and organized to make meaning. Grammar includes parts of speech, grammatical structures using prefixes, suffixes, and affixes. Lexis is defined as individual words or sets of words that have a specific meaning. Lexis includes the different meanings words can have, how their meaning depends on context, and how words relate to each other through synonyms, antonyms, collocations and other relationships. The document also discusses how these concepts are taught in a language classroom.How to teach grammar

This document provides guidance on teaching grammar to language students. It discusses inductive and deductive approaches, with inductive involving students discovering rules through exercises and deductive involving direct explanation of rules by the teacher. The goal of grammar instruction is to enable communication, requiring instruction that connects grammar to communication contexts while not requiring mastery of every aspect. Error correction should not always be the primary responsibility of the instructor. Overt grammar instruction should be limited to 10 minutes, present concepts in multiple ways, and use accurate and culturally appropriate examples as teaching tools focused on a specific theme. Grammar is taught in relation to meaning and the communication tasks students need to complete. Teachers need to avoid overfocusing on error correction and instead let students knowSyntax and lexis presentation final 3

The document discusses listening and speaking skills. It defines listening as understanding meaningful sounds of language. Successful listening requires understanding context, language knowledge, and subskills. Spoken language differs from written in being ephemeral, using intonation and gestures, and containing informal elements. Speaking involves expression to others using pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and interaction strategies. Both skills require practice with accuracy and fluency, in varied activities preparing learners to communicate.Morphology Word and Its Parts (Root and Afixes)

This document discusses word morphology, focusing on the smaller parts of words called morphemes. It defines key terms like root, affix, prefix, suffix, and bound vs. free morphemes. Roots carry the main meaning of a word and can be free or bound. Affixes like prefixes and suffixes can be added to roots to derive new words or change word class. Suffixes can be derivational, changing a word's meaning and part of speech, or inflectional, changing grammatical properties without altering the core meaning. The document provides examples to illustrate these morphological concepts.Phonology

Phonology is the study of how sounds are organized and used in languages. A phonological system includes an inventory of sounds and their features, and rules for how sounds interact. Phonology studies syllable structure, stress, accent, and intonation. It analyzes the sound patterns of a particular language by determining significant sounds and how native speakers interpret them. Phonemes are the smallest units that can change meaning, like in minimal pairs. Phonology differs from phonetics in that phonology analyzes a language's sound patterns while phonetics analyzes all human sounds regardless of language.Second language acquisition

This document discusses the system of cardinal vowels, which provides fixed reference points for classifying vowel sounds. It describes how Daniel Jones developed the primary cardinal vowel system in the early 20th century, which uses eight equidistant points based on tongue position. Secondary cardinal vowels can be obtained by changing lip rounding from these points. The document then classifies English vowels according to tongue height and position, lip rounding, and quantity. It provides examples of vowels in words to illustrate each category on a vowel diagram.Lexical approach Presentation

The lexical approach focuses on teaching language as fixed expressions and chunks that occur frequently, rather than as single words. Students are thought to learn grammar patterns and vocabulary more effectively by perceiving language this way. Key aspects of this approach include teaching collocations, idioms, social greetings, and other combinations of words that commonly go together, as well as having students accumulate and store chunks in a lexical notebook. However, the lexical approach lacks a detailed learning theory and full characterization as an approach.What is lexis?

Equivalence is commonly associated with the end result of translation as a one-way process without a clear subject. The document also examines how concepts of value and equivalence originated from economic theories and were applied to linguistics by Saussure. It argues that equivalence is not a natural relationship between language systems but rather a fiction that facilitates intercultural communication.The lexical approach

The Lexical Approach is a language teaching method developed by Michael Lewis in the 1990s that focuses on vocabulary and multi-word phrases rather than traditional grammar. It posits that language consists largely of prefabricated chunks like collocations, idioms, and fixed phrases. Teachers following this approach aim to help students learn and comprehend these common lexical units. Classroom activities emphasize identifying lexical patterns in authentic texts and increasing retention of vocabulary chunks. The goal is for students to perceive language structures through meaningful lexical exposure rather than explicit grammar instruction.How to teach vocabulary to young learners

Phonetics is the study of speech sounds, including how they are produced (articulatory phonetics), transmitted (acoustic phonetics), and perceived (auditory phonetics). Phonology examines how speech sounds are organized and relate to one another based on systems of phonemes and allophones according to phonological rules and processes such as assimilation, dissimilation, insertion, and deletion. Key distinctions between consonants and vowels include place and manner of articulation for consonants versus tongue placement, height, lip rounding, and tenseness for vowels.Phonology

Phonology is the study of the sound system of a language. It examines phonemes, which are abstract linguistic units that include different sounds, and allophones, which are variant forms of the same phoneme that differ in features. Phonemic transcription uses symbols to represent phonemes, while phonetic transcription shows articulatory detail by representing allophones between brackets. Diacritics provide extra information in phonetic but not phonemic transcription. Minimal pairs reveal phoneme distinctions, and complementary distribution and free variation describe sound patterns. Neutralization occurs when phoneme opposition is lost in an environment.Pragmatic linguistics損

Pragmatics is the study of language use and context. It examines how the context, both situational and linguistic, affects the meaning of utterances. An utterance is the smallest unit of speech studied in pragmatics. Pragmatics focuses on the speaker's intended meaning rather than just the grammatical form. The interpretation of an utterance depends on its semantic content and environment. Contextual factors like the social and situational background condition both the production and understanding of utterances.REGISTER AND STYLE

Style refers to variations based on social factors like formality. There are different linguistic styles like formal, informal, and colloquial. The document also discusses the sociolinguistic concept of audience design, where speakers adapt their language based on the perceived characteristics of their audience. It provides an example of a travel agent varying her use of glottalization based on the social class of the client.

The document discusses challenges with pronunciation for foreign language learners and offers advice. It notes that as people grow older, the "boxes" in our brain for native language sounds get stronger, making it difficult to form new boxes for foreign sounds. When hearing an unfamiliar sound, the brain puts it in the closest existing box. The document recommends listening carefully to the sounds of the target language when practicing, and choosing a clear model of English to learn based on where one lives and communicates. It outlines the basic sounds of English, differences between sounds and phonemes, and challenges with connecting words smoothly in longer utterances.Discourse analysis session 12 and 13_07-12_12_2021 Stress and intonation in d...

It argues that these larger structures should be the initial focus in teaching pronunciation rather than individual sounds. Rhythm, intonation, and fluency can be present from the very beginning through songs, rhymes, and meaningful texts. The document provides guidance on teaching stress, rhythm, and intonation patterns through techniques like nursery rhymes, growing sentences, and forward/backward chaining. It emphasizes keeping pitch high and even between stressed syllables and having a clear focus or pitch change at the end of meaning units.Pronounciation problems(final) copy

1) Pronunciation problems arise due to a lack of focus on pronunciation in teaching, influence of mother tongue, and inability to hear certain sounds.
2) In English, there are 44 sounds but only 26 letters, so spellings are not always a reliable guide to pronunciation. Certain letters have multiple sounds and some are sometimes silent.
3) Getting the schwa sound correct is important for accurate pronunciation. The schwa is the most common sound in English and occurs in unstressed syllables. Semantics session 3_18_10_2021 Sentence, Utterance and proposition.pdf

This document discusses key linguistic concepts - sentence, utterance, and proposition. It defines a sentence as a grammatically complete string of words expressing a thought, while an utterance is any stretch of speech between pauses. A proposition is the statement or assertion conveyed by a declarative sentence, describing some state of affairs involving things or persons referred to in the sentence. The document provides examples and comparisons of sentences, utterances, and propositions, examining their meanings and relationships. It also discusses different types of sentence and proposition meanings.Unit 2

The document discusses the theory of speech acts. It explains that linguists originally focused on language form rather than function, but speech act theory looks at both. Speech acts have a locutionary act (the actual words), an illocutionary act (the intent or function), and a perlocutionary act (the effect on the listener). The document also discusses how meaning can differ based on context versus isolation of words. It introduces J.L. Austin and J.R. Searle's classifications of illocutionary acts.Intonation and stress

Correct intonation and stress are key to speaking English fluently. Intonation refers to the rhythm and melody of speech, while stress refers to emphasizing certain syllables in words. The document provides exercises for students to practice distinguishing words using minimal pairs that differ in just one phoneme, as well as exercises practicing sentence stress. It explains that in English, content words like nouns and verbs are usually stressed, while function words like articles and prepositions are usually not stressed. Understanding stress patterns is important for both pronunciation and comprehension in English.Ready steady read

Jennifer Wilson presented strategies for teaching literacy to non-native English speakers ages 3-5. The key components are:
1) Focus on oral language development through songs, stories, and actions before expecting reading and writing.
2) Immerse children in the language by using everyday phrases, labeling items, and exposing children to English TV and books.
3) Teach the sounds of the language systematically while continuing to provide rich vocabulary through stories, pictures, and questions.Accent and dialect

際際滷s to support presentations and the publication of my book Well-Being and Creative Careers: What Makes You Happy Can Also Make You Sick, out in September 2025 with Intellect Books in the UK and worldwide, distributed in the US by The University of Chicago Press.
In this book and presentation, I investigate the systemic issues that make creative work both exhilarating and unsustainable. Drawing on extensive research and in-depth interviews with media professionals, the hidden downsides of doing what you love get documented, analyzing how workplace structures, high workloads, and perceived injustices contribute to mental and physical distress.
All of this is not just about whats broken; its about what can be done. The talk concludes with providing a roadmap for rethinking the culture of creative industries and offers strategies for balancing passion with sustainability.
With this book and presentation I hope to challenge us to imagine a healthier future for the labor of love that a creative career is.Kumushini_Thennakoon_CAPWIC_slides_.pptx

Phonology and Functions
- 2. It includes phonemes, word stress, sentence stress, and intonation It studies the sound features used in a language DEFINITION:
- 3. The smallest unit of sound. It makes a difference in meaning. Do you know what these symbols represent? Phonemes /d/ /脱/ /丹/ Vowels /e/ Diphthongs /eI/ Consonants /b/ Example: /s/ - plural
- 4. Voiced sound Unvoiced sound *vocal cords vibrate The vowels are arranged according to:
- 5. /stjudnt/ This sign is used to show word stress. /stjudnt/ When we give word stress to a syllable we say it with greater energy. Word stress Important, children, pencil
- 6. Sentence stress Different parts of the sentence have more or less stress. Main stress Secondary stress Example: She came home late last night Main stress: late Secondary stress: came, home, last, night Unstressed word: she Contrastive stress To put the stress in an unexpected word in a sentence.
- 7. It is when all the words join to make a connected stream of sounds. Do you know what is connected speech? ANSWER
- 9. Activitites Minimal pairs Correct their pronuntiatio n Learn varietes of accents Phonology and the language teaching classroom -Tips Ship- Sheep A minimal pair is two words that vary by only a single sound.
- 10. Unit 4 Functions
- 11. Education is not a problem. Education is an opportunity. -Lyndon. B Johnson 11
- 12. What is a function? 12 It is a reason why we communicate. What we say has a purpose and function. It describes how we use language. EXAMPLE: Apologising Greeting Clarifying Advising
- 13. What do you think an exponent is?
- 14. Exponent 14 The language we use to express a function. Context Exponent Function A boy wants to go to the cinema with his friend tonight. He says: Lets go to the cinema tonight. Suggesting/making a suggestion about going to the cinema
- 15. 15 Context Function A boy talking to his mother while he does his homework. Requesting (asking) to stop doing homework. A patient talking to his doctor. Describing a physical state. An exponent can express different functions at the same time: Im so tiredEXPONENT
- 16. 16 One function can also be expressed through different exponents: Lunch? Coming for lunch? Come for lunch with us? Why dont you come for luch with us? Would you like to come to lunch with us? We would be very pleased if you could join us for lunch? INFORMAL FORMAL NEUTRAL
- 17. 17 Levels of formality Informal language More socially casual Formal language More socially distant It is sometimes colloquial. Neutral language Why dont you come for luch with us?
- 18. 18 Appropriacy People choose to use the level of formality that suits a situation: Inappropriate Id like to wish you all a very good morning (too formal) Hi, guys (too informal) Appropriate Good morning everyone Register Informal: Hi Formal: A very good morning
- 19. A focus on functions can lead to emphasis on communication. We find functions taugth together with the structures. Combining functions and grammar helps to give grammar meaning and context. 19 Functions and the language teaching classroom
