Acknowledgements I should like to thank: - David Brazil and Barbara Bradford, whose books prompted me to write this manual. I owe my greatest debt of gratitude to J.D. O’Connor: but for his authentic material this book would never have been written. My special thanks are due to Y. Dubovsky, who spared no time and effort to help me write this manual. My special thanks are also due to V. Yakubovich for useful suggestions he made in the process of my work on the book. 5
The aims of this course are as follows: 1. To make you more sensitive to intonation so that you have a better understanding of the English you hear. 2. To help you express yourself more fluently and confidently. 3. To help you pronounce English better than you do now. Careful listening and careful matching of your performance with listening will bring you nearer to the ideal of good English pronunciation. All the exercises are recorded on tape. You will find them useful and interesting. If you work hard and regularly along the lines suggested in this book you will perform better. The recorded material (recorded by English phoneticians) is available in this book. Anyone who is interested in English Phonetics may find this manual helpful because it is based on the latest work in this field. 7

Chapter I. The Organs of Speech the hard palate 6 the alveolar ridge 5 the teeth 4 the upper lip 3 11 the pharynx 12 the epiglottis 2 the larynx with the vocal folds 13 the food-passage 1 the wind-pipe the soft palate with 7 the uvula the lover lip 3 the teeth 4 the blade of the 8 tongue with the tip the front of the tongue 9 the back of the tongue 10 The air (breath) passes from the lungs into the wind-pipe then through the larynx into the pharynx (The pharynx is the continuation of the mouth cavity). When the uvula is raised the air passes into the mouth cavity. When the uvula is lowered the air passes into the nasal cavity. In the larynx there are two vocal folds. They can be brought together (without entirely closing the air-passage) and when the air stream is forced between them, they vibrate and produce voice. When the vocal folds are wide apart, the airstream passes between them freely, they do not vibrate and no voice is produced. The space between the vocal folds is called the glottis. The roof of the mouth is divided into the following parts: a) the alveolar ridge; b) the hard palate; c) the soft palate with the uvula. The tongue has no distinct division like the palate. However, its surface is conventionally divided into three parts corresponding to the parts of the roof of the mouth. They are: a) the blade with the tip, b) the front and c) the back of the tongue. When the tongue is at rest, the blade with the tip lies opposite the alveolar ridge, the front of the tongue lies opposite the hard palate and the back of the tongue lies opposite the soft palate. 12
The organs of speech are divided into movable (active) and fixed (passive). The movable speech organs take an active part in the articulation of speech sounds. They are: the lips, the tongue, the soft palate with the uvula, the vocal folds, the pharynx. The fixed organs of speech with which the active organs form an obstruction serve as points of articulation. They are: the teeth, the alveolar ridge, the hard palate. 1. The Position of the Tip of the Tongue These terms refer to the position of the tip of the tongue with respect to the upper teeth, the alveolar ridge and the back part of the alveolar ridge, rather than to the parts of the tongue. Apical consonants are articulated by the tip (apex) of the tongue against either the upper teeth or the alveolar ridge. The English consonants /t, d, s, z, n, l/ are apical. Dorsal consonants are those consonants in the articulation of which the blade (dorsum) of the tongue touches or approaches the upper teeth and the gums, while the tip of the tongue is lowered and passive. The Russian consonants are dorsal /т, д, с, з, н/. Cacuminal consonants are articulated by the tip of the tongue raised against the back part of the alveolar ridge. The front of the tongue is lowered forming a spoon-shaped depression - the English /r/. Retroflex(ed) are consonants in the articulation of which the tip of the tongue is raised and curled back behind the back slope of the alveolar ridge. This results in a special colouring that we hear in the American /r/. 13
Chapter II. English Consonants There are two good reasons for beginning with consonants rather than vowels. First, consonants contribute more to making English understood than vowels do. Second, consonants are generally made by a definite interference of the air stream in the vocal tract, and so are easier to describe and understand. The consonants form the bones, the skeleton of English words and give them their basic shape. Native speakers of English from different parts of the world have different accents, but the differences of accent are mainly the result of differences in the sound of the vowels; the consonants are pronounced in very much the same way wherever English is spoken. So if the vowels you use are imperfect it will not prevent you from being understood, but if the consonants are imperfect there will be a great risk of misunderstanding. In dealing with the consonants you must learn how each one is mainly distinguished from the others, the features which it must have so that it will not be mistaken for any other consonant. Then later you will learn about any special sounds of that phoneme which need small changes in their formation in different circumstances, changes which are not essential if you simply want to be understood, but which will make your English sound better. While reading or speaking, keep in mind one important general rule which applies to all the pairs of consonants: strong (voiceless) consonants at the end of the words shorten the preceding vowels, weak (voiced) consonants leave them longer. While listening to the consonants try to fix the sounds in your mind. 1. Classification of consonants Consonants are speech sounds in the production of which: a) there is an articulatory obstruction (complete or incomplete); b) muscular tension is concentrated at the place of obstruction; c) the air-stream is strong. There are 24 consonants in English and they are classified according to the following principles: a. according to the manner of articulation; b. according to the active organ of speech and the place of articulation; c. according to the force of articulation: lenis/fortis; lenis=weak, fortis=strong; d. according to the work of the vocal folds: voiced/voiceless; e. according to the position of the soft palate: oral/nasal. 14
