Questions
1) What features may the phonetic styles have?
2) Enumerate those prosodic

features which enable people to distinguish between different phonetic styles.

The phonetic style – forming means are the degree of

assimilation, reduction and elision, all of which depend on the degree of carefulness of pronunciation.

Слайд 4

Changes in the sound structure and the syllabic structure of

speech were taken into consideration. But the investigations show that phonetic styles differ prosodically too.

Слайд 5

Assimilation, reduction and elision are natural phonetic phenomena, which occur

The speaker is to a definite extent governed by his

audience in choice of vocabulary units, grammatical structures, tempo of speech, distinctiveness of articulation, and so on.

Слайд 9

O’Connor states that they belong to different styles: the 1st

Слайд 10

Each speaker has a norm of loudness which may depart

from in different circumstances. His speech is generally characterized by a more or less regular usage of certain tones. But there are circumstances when he introduces into his speech tonal variations, variations of pitch levels and ranges specific for definite styles of pronunciation.
