Introduction Theoretical Course of English Phonetics, according to the requirements of the state education standard, is an indispensable element in the teaching stu dents who major in linguistics and philology. According to the state standard Theoretical Course of English Phonetics is an integral part of the general course in the theory of the language. The aim, objectives and main topics of the course. The aim of the course is to systematize the elements of the phonetic theory and give the students on this basis better, more detailed knowledge about all the components of the phonetic level of the English language. The aim in question is achieved due to the realization of the following ob jectives: - to acquaint the students with the present condition of English phonetics, to show the students the role played and the success achieved by Russian and foreign linguists in developing phonetic science and solving its problems; - to discuss with the students the latest theories and views on the problems of English phonetics, and also modern tendencies in oral speech from the point of view of its phonetic aspect; - to refresh and to enlarge the students’ knowledge of phonetics which they gained while studying the course of practical phonetics; - to teach the students to look for, to find and to analyze the necessary in formation in the scientific literature; - to form the skill of the students to compare phonetic phenomena of Eng lish and of their mother tongue; - to help the students to acquire the basic knowledge of the phonetic theory in order to improve their speech skills, to give the students the opportunity to connect theory with practice;
- to develop the skill of the students to make their own practical conclu sions on the basis of the theoretical material.
Module 1. General notion about Phonetics 1. Phonetics as a branch of linguistics. The subject matter of Phonet ics. The term phonetics comes from the Greek word “pho netico s” and means “pertaining to voice and sound”. Phonetics is not a separate independent science. It is a branch of linguistics, like the other branches, such as lexicology and grammar. These linguistic sciences study language from three different points of view. Phonetics studies the sound system of the language, that is, seg mental phonemes, word stress, syllabic structure and intonation. Phonetics is concerned with human noises by which the thought is actualized or given audible shape: the nature of these noises, their combinations and their functions in rela tion to the meaning. Phonetics is primarily concerned with expression level, that is, phonetics formulates the rules of pronunciation for separate sounds and sound combinations. However, phonetics is obliged to take into consideration the con tent level as well because phonetics is concerned only with such sounds pro duced by a human vocal apparatus which carry organized information of lan guage, that is, meaningful sound sequences regarded as speech. So, neither linguistic theory, nor linguistic practice can do without phonet ics and no language description is complete without it (Leontyeva, 2002, p. 10; Вертоградова, Рубанова, 2016, с. 7). 2. Phonetics and phonology. The term “phonology” comes from the Greek words “phone” – sound and “logos” – learning. N.S. Trubetzkoy introduced this term into linguistics and op posed it to phonetics. Phonetics, in his opinion, is a purely biological science, in vestigating all physiological and physical properties of speech sounds without paying any attention to their functions in a language. Phonetics studies the prop erty of the sound itself and investigates its articulatory and acoustic characteris tics.
Phonology is a branch of linguistic science dealing with the functional (linguistic, social) aspect of speech sounds. Phonology states vocal features and investigates them functioning in the language. Phonology studies the linguistic function of speech sounds, that is, the function – to be the material for meaning ful units: morphemes, words. But as the sound matter of language is a complex unity of four aspects (ar ticulatory, acoustic, auditory and functional), we should underline the insepara ble interconnection of phonetics and phonology, which have common object of investigation, though viewed from different points (Рубанова, 2010, с. 5). 3. The historical development of phonetics. Phonetics began long before there was either grammar or linguistics. An cient objects, drawings and written documents show that voice and speech al ways fascinated men. Written documents and evidences from ancient civiliza tions point out that people were aware of speech, its origin and abnormalities even in those times. In India more than 2000 years ago a science of phonetics flourished. The investigation of the work of speech organs in production of speech sounds began in the 17th century and was determined by the necessity to teach deaf and dumb people. In 1886 International Phonetic Association was founded. It stated phonetic symbols for sounds of many existing languages, including English. Many Russian and foreign linguists contributed to the development of phonetics by developing various theories (Leontyeva, 2002, p. 10-11). 4. The connection of phonetics with other branches of linguistics. Phonetics is an essential part of the language because it gives language a definite form – the vocabulary and grammar of a language can function only when lexical and grammatical phenomena are expressed phonetically. So phonet ics is closely connected with other branches of linguistics such as grammar, lexi cology and stylistics.
1) Grammar and phonetics. Phonetics helps to pronounce correctly sin gular and plural forms of nouns, the past tense forms and past participle forms of English regular verbs. For example: [s] is pronounced after voiceless consonants (tips, clocks); [z] is pronounced after voiced consonants and vowels (bags, boys); [Ιz] is pronounced after sibilants (свистящие, шипящие) (dishes). Another manifestation of connection between phonetics and grammar is sound interchange. Vowel alternations help - to distinguish the tense forms of irregular verbs. For example: ring – rang – rung; - to distinguish singular and plural of some nouns. For example: man [mæn] – men [men], foot [fu:t] – feet [fi:t]; - to distinguish between nouns and verbs, adjectives and nouns, verbs and adjectives. For example: bath [bα:θ] – to bathe [beΙð], hot [hɒt]– heet [hi:t], to moderate [eΙ] – moderate [Ι]. Phonetics is also connected with grammar through its intonation compo nent. Sometimes intonation alone can serve to single out the communicative cen tre of the utterance. For example: He came home. (Not Mary.) e came home. (So you can see him now.) He 'came home. (He is at home but you said that he was going to the club.) In affirmative sentences the rising nuclear tone can serve to show that it is a question. For example: He 'came home. He 'came home? (O’Connor, 1977, p. 260-263; Leontyeva, 2002, p. 13-16).
2) Lexicology and phonetics. It’s only due to the position of stress we can distinguish certain nouns from verbs. For example: 'object – to ob'ject; 'transfer – to trans'fer; 'abstract – to ab'stract. Homographs can be differentiated only due to pronunciation, because they are identical in spelling. For example: bow [bəU] – bow [baU] (лук – поклон); row [rəU] – row [raU] (ряд – ссора); wind [wΙnd] – wind [waΙnd] (ветер – виток); sewer [səUə] – sewer [sju:ə] (швея – сточная труба). Due to the position of word stress we can distinguish between compound words and word groups. For example: 'blackbird – 'black 'bird; 'blackboard – 'black 'board; 'tallboy – 'tall 'boy. Phonetics is also connected with lexicology trough onomatopoeia – a spe cial means of word formation. Onomatopoeia ('ɒnəmætЗU'pi:ə) is a combination of sounds which imitate sounds produced in nature (wind, sea, thunder etc.), by things (machines, tools etc.), by people (sighing, laughter, patter of feet, etc.) and by animals. For example: crash, clang, bang, clap, smack, tinkle, buzz, cuckoo, roar, rustle, crow, splash (Leontyeva, 2002, p. 17). 3) Stylistics and phonetics. Phonetics is connected with stylistics through intonation and its components: melody, sentence stress, rhythm, pausation, tim bre which serve to express emotions, to distinguish between different attitudes on the part of the author and speaker.
