The sound and style of American English(最完全版)
The sound and style of American EnglishA Course in Foreign Accent ReductionDr.David Alan Stern INTRODUCTIONI WANT TO REDUCE MY ACCENT.WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO FIRST?There are two basic skills you must learn right away if you want your speech to sound m ore American. First, you must learn the correct INTONATION. Intonation means the pitch changes and rhythms of a language or dialect. Once you begin Americanizing your intonation, native speakers will almost immediatlely become more comfortable with your speech and begin following your ideas much more easily. Second, you must change the way you move your moth muscles during the speech. Every language or dialect hs a unique way its speakers move their mouths. This leads to the language's special "sound" -- its very own resonance or voice tone. To reduce your accent, you must stop using the muscles as you did with your first language and substitute movements that produce this uniquely American tone. The first two-thirds of this audio contains exercises that teach you to produce American intonation and voice tone.Course 1LESSON 1: THE MUSIC OF AMERICAN SPEECHIN THIS LESSON THE TAPE TEACHES YOU THE INTONATION (PITCH CHANGE) PATHERN WHICH IS CHARACTERISTIC OF WELL SPOKEN, STANDARD AMERICAN ENGLISHWhen it is spoken well, American speech has what I call a JUMP UP and STEP DOWN pattern of pitch change. that means that, inside each phrase or unit of thought, the pitch jumps up to a higher note on an early, important word. Then, it steps down a little bit on each syllable that follows within that unit. Most speakers of English as a second language do not use this JUMP UP and STEP DOWN pattern. People from some languages use little or no pitch change. In other languages, speakers use upward glides in pitch to emphasize ideas. With its JUMP UP / STEP DOWN pattern, American English does neither of these things.Listen to the instructions and examples on the tape. They show you exactly how to do the simplest form of the JUMP UP and STEP DOWN pattern. After the first few demonstrations, the tape asks you to listen to the samples and apply the pattern yourself to sentence Group I. The first time through, try using the pattern only once in each sentence by jumping in pitch on the words that I've underlined.INTRODUCTION1.GOOD MORNING.2.GOOD MORNING.3.I'M VERY HAPPY TO SEE YOU TODAY.4.CALL HIM ON THE OFFICE TELEPHONE.5.GOOD MORNING I'M VERY HAPPY TO MEET YOU.6.I'M VERY HAPPY TO SEE YOU.7.I'M VERY HAPPY TO SEE YOU TODAY.SENTENCE GROUP I1.I'M VERY PLEASED TO MEET YOU.2.THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR CALLING.3.I'D LIKE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR NEXT THURSDAY.4.I'M GOING OUT OF TOWN A T THE END OF NEXT WEEK.5.I WON'T BE BACK IN THE OFFICE TILL THE FOLLOWING MONDAY.6. THERE'S TOO MUCH NOISE ON THE STREET WHERE WE LIVE.7. I DON'T WANT TO GO THERE ANYMORE.8.MY CAR BROKE DOWN ON THE FREEWAY THIS AFTERNOON.9.MY OFFICE IS ON THE THIRD FLOOR, RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE ELEVA TOR.10.I'LL NEVER BE HOME ON TIME IF I KEEP GETTING TELEPHONE CALLS.Of course, there aren't any totally right or totally wrong places for beginning these JUMP UP and STEP DOWN units. In many phrases and sentences, you have a choice of more than one place where you can begin the pattern by jumping up in pitch. Similarly, there are many atatements in which you can use a JUMP UP and STEP DOWN pattern two, or three, or perhaps even four times. Of course. the longer thesentence, the more often you'd be able to begin a new pattern by jumping up and stressing a new idea. The tape will give you several examples of this principle using the last sentence from Group I.10A. I'LL NEVER GET HOME ON TIME IF I KEEP GETTING TELEPHONE CALLS.Next, the tape shows you how you can use more than one JUMP UP and STEP DOWN pattern in the first five sentences from the group. Try those sentences again, this time jumping up in pitch twice during each sentence.1.I'M VERY PLEASED TO MEET YOU.2.THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR CALLING.3.I'D LIKE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR NEXT THURSDAY.4.I'M GOING OUT OF TOWN A T THE END OF NEXT WEEK.5.I WON'T BE BACK IN THE OFFICE TILL THE FOLLOWING MONDAY.The tape now asks you to try an experiment. Read Sentence Group II very expressively, but with your current accent. While you're speaking, pay attention to exactly what you are doing to stress important ideas. Now, translate the sentences in your first language; speak them enthusiastically, and see what you do to stress ideas. I hope that these exercises show most of you that you already know when to stress important words. But, in your old language or accent, you usedifferent tools of pitch or loudness to create the same effect. The tape then asks you to go back to the English sentences and try stressing the same important ideas you just discovered. This time, however, try using the new JUMP UP and STEP DOWN pattern instead of the tools from your old language. Listen carefullyto those instructions on the tape, and then try that experiment with the sentences in Group Two. For the first time, you will be trying to apply the JUMP UP and STEP DOWN pattern by yourself, without imitating a model on the tape.SENTENCE GROUP II1.I'D LIKE TO WELCOME ALL OF YOU TO THIS MEETING.2.I'LL BEGIN BY INTRODUCING MYSELF TO YOU.3.MY NAME IS _____________________ , AND I'VE BEEN PRESIDENT OF THIS COMPANY FORTHE LAST TEN YEARS.4.I'VE SEEN A LOT OF CHANGES IN THAT TIME.5.YES, WE'VE CERTAINLY MADE A GREA T DEAL OF PROGRESS.6.BUT THERE IS STILL A LOT MORE TO DO IF WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO GROW.7.STARTING NEXT WEEK, WE WILL BEGIN A BRAND NEW PROJECT.8.ALTHOUGH OUR GOALS ARE NEW, WE STILL NEED THE SAME DEDICA TION AND THE SAMEHARD WORK YOU HAVE ALREADY SHOWN US.9.I HOPE THA T THE NEXT TEN YEARS OF PROGRESS WILL MAKE THE LAST TEN SEEM SMALLBY COMPARISON.At the end of Lesson #1, the tape tells you to try using the JUMP UP and STEP DOWN pattern in the little speech which results when you put SENTENCE GROUP II together into a single paragraph. The under lined words are just suggestions for pitch jumps.SENTENCE GROUP II (as a complete speech)"I'd like to welcome all of you to this meeting. I'll begin by introducing myself to you. My name is David Alan Stern, and I've been president of this company for the last ten years. I've seen a lot of changes in that time. Yes, we've certainly made a great deal of progress. But there is still a lot more to do if we're going to continue to grow, Starting next week, we will begin a brand new project. Although our goals are new, we still need the same dedication and the same hard work you have already shown us. I hope that the next ten years of progress make the last ten seem small by comparison."LESSON 2: RELAXING THE LIPS AND FRONT MOUTHIN THIS LESSON, THE TAPE TEACHES YOU TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND BEGIN SPEECH MOVEMENTS WITHOUT USING A LOT OF MUSCLE PUSH IN THE LIPS AND THE FRONT OF THE MOUTH.In every language and dialect, speakers form words with a different style of muscle movements. Each of these muscle styles creates a slightly different type of voice resonance. This resonance (which some people call "tone focus" or "voice placement") sounds very different from one language to another. When the muscle style of your first language is used to speak a different language, the resulting voice tone creates a big part of what native speakers hear as a "foreign accent."American English is formed with very little muscle work in the lips and the front of the mouth. Follow the instructions on the tape very carefully. You'll begin by relaxing the front of your mouth and producing the "AH" sound. After that you'll go on to other exercises where you speak the numbers, the days of the week, and the months of the year.LESSON 3: CHANGING THE POSITION OF YOUR TONGUEIN THIS LESSON YOU LEARN TO BEGIN USE THE MUSCLES IN THE BACK OF YOUR TONGUE WHICH ARE NECESSARY TO CREATE THE RESONANCE OF AMERICAN ENGLISH.This lesson begins one of the most important parts of your accent reduction process. To get the American speech style, you have to create most of the speech movement using the muscl es in the back of your tongue. That process begins with a very simple step. You must be able to relax your tongue and put it into the specific shape which I call THE STARTING POSITION. On the next page there's a picture of a tongue being held in that position. As you play the tape, refer to this picture and look in a mirror while trying to recreate that same position and shape.Once you can move your tongue into the STARTING POSITION at will, you must learn to produce a downward movement in the rear tongue as you begin making sounds. Follow the instructions on the tape extremely closely as you go through the second half of Lesson #3. You begin with your tongue in the STARTING POSITION and create an "AH" sound using only those muscles in the back of your tongue. This is one of the most important lessons in all of your training. This movement style allows you to create the TONGUE IN THE CORRECT "STARTING POSITION"1. T ongue is lying in a concave position (the middle is lower than the sides).2. T ip of the tongue is lying just against bottom-front teeth.3. R ear tongue is low, not arching up in back. Y ou can easily see the back of the throat between thetongue and palate.Resonance traits of American English when you combine it with other tongue movements you'll learn in the next lesson.LESSON 4: CREA TING SPEECH IMPULSE IN THE REAR TONGUETHIS LESSON TEACHES YOU TO CREATE SPEECH MOVEMENTS WITH THE MUSCLES IN THE REAR TONGUE, WHILE CONTINUING TO RELAX THE LIPS AND FRONT MOUTH.This lesson is extremely important. Here's where you learn how the different parts of your muth should feel when you use the American style of muscle movement. Follow the instructions on the tape very closely. You'll begin by learning to glide your tongue from the AH-position (that you created in the last lesson) into a sharp EE-sound. Most importantly, you will learn how to control this movement with the muscles in the back of the tongue. You will then learn to modify this "AH-EE" combination by using what I call the QUICK AMERICAN GLIDE. In this special form, the first stage (AH) takes more time than the last stage (EE). In addition, the pitch of your voice glides down notice- ably as you begin the second stage of the sound. Make sure you learn to do this QUICK AMERICAN GLIDE extremely well. It will be particularly important in Lesson #5 when you study the Amer- ican pronunciations of the five diphthongs (doublevowels). In order for them to sound really American, all five of them will have to contain the very same tongue movement and downward glide in pitch.Finally, Lesson #4 gives you the opportunity to use the new muscle movements in other sound combinations and words. You'll begin by producing relaxed consonants at the end of the AH-EE glide. Next, you'll attach the relaxed consonant sounds at the beginning of the glide. At this point, you'll have to pay very close attention to how your tongue feels during this type of movement. Your next task will be to reproduce that feeling when you are combining other sounds. You'll use that new style of muscle movement while speaking again the words for the numbers 1-10, the days of the week, and the months of the year. Once again, follow the directions on the tape very closely as you practice the exercises in Less #4 several times.LESSON 5: AMERICAN VOWEL PRONUNCIATIONSIN THIS LESSON THE TAPE TEACHES YOU THE AMERICAN PRONUNCIATION OF SEVEN IMPORTANT VOWEL SOUNDS. YOU WILL LEARN TO PRODUCE THESE PRONUNCIATIONS IN COMBINATION WITH THE PITCH AND MUSCULARITY STYLES YOU ALREADY LEARNED.I told you earlier how important it was to learn American intonation and muscle styles before doing pronunciation drills. Well, the time has come. You're now about to begin studying the actual American pronunciations of vowels and consonants. PLEASE REMEMBER TO KEEP USING THE TWO SKILLS YOU JUST LEARNED. If you forget to use the American muscle style and the JUMP UP and STEP DOWN intonation, it's unlkely that you will ever come close to native-sounding pronunciation.THE FIVE DIPHTHONGSThe five American diphthongs, or double vowels, are the best examples of why you must continue using verything you've already learned when trying to correct your pronunciation. In order to sound like they're coming from a native speaker, these sounds must be produced with both downward pitch movement and a lot of muscle work in the rear tongue. In other words, each of these sounds must be made with the QUICK AMERICAN GLIDE you just studied in the last lesson. Follow the instructions on the tape closely. Repeat the sounds, words, and sentences which are modeled on the tape. After each of the five sounds, stop the tape. You'll find additional words and sentences for that vowel printed in the manual. Try using the same techniques on those additional drills, even though they are not modeled for you on the tape. 1. THE "AH-EE" DIPHTHONG (as in "sky" and "mile")MILE, NIGHT, TIME, ADVICE, IDENTIFY-I'M REALLY FINE.-IT'S A SIGN OF THE TIMES.-I TRIED TO FIND MYSELF.-MY GUIDE AND I HAD A FINE TIME.Now try these additional drills that aren't recorded on the tape.HIGH, ICY, EYE, DIE, SHY, RIDE, FILE, CRY, AISLE, FLIGHT, CRIME, RIGHT, LIGHT, BRIGHT, WHILE, SLICE, VIRUS, BAPTIZE, ADVICE, PLIABLE, STYLE, SPICY, SHINE, PINE, PILE, RHYME-I DON'T HAVE TIME TO FIND HIM.-PLEASE TRANSCRIBE ALL FIVE DIALOGUES.-LIFE ON DRY LAND ISN'T VERY EXCITING.-MY SON IS THE PRIDE OF MY LIFE.-THERE WERE FIVE KINDS OF DRIED SPICED.-HE SLICED THE FRIED FISH ON FRIDAY NIGHT.2.

Listen to my reading of theis passage on the tape in Lesson #7. Then mark up the scripts on the next few pages to remind yourself about the different skills you've been trying to master.Mark this first printing of the script with reminders about the places you might begin JUMP UP and STEP DOWN units of into- nation. Underline the words where the pitch jumps will happen. You might even use different colored pencils to indicate as may different options as you want. Remember, there's no one correct place to begin intonation units.PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHERHELLO, MY NAME IS DAVID, I'M REALLY HAPPY TO SEE YOU. I'VE BEEN WANTING TO COME DOWN HERE FOR A LONG TIME. I JUST DIDN'T GET THE CHANCE BEFORE THIS. THAT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE I'VE BEEN WORKING REALLY HARD, AND VERY LONG HOURS FOR A LONG TIME. BUT NOW THAT I'M HERE, I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOME IMPORTANT THINGS I'VE BEEN DOING LATELY. I'VE BEEN SPENDING A LOT OF TIME WORKING ON MY SPEECH -- TRYING TO LEARN HOW TO USE MORE OF AN AMERICAN SPEECH STYLE. I'M USING A LOT MORE PITCH CHANGE NOW. BUT I'M NOT SLIDING UP IN PITCH. I'M USING THE AMERICAN INTONA- TION PATTERN THAT A GUY NAMED STERN CALLS THE JUMP UP AND STEP DOWN PATTERN. IT'S ALSO NECESSARY FOR ME TO REALX THE FRONT OF MY MOUTH AND USE THE MUSCLES IN THE BACK OF MY TONGUE MORE THAN I USED TO. I ALSO STARTED WORKING ON SOME DIFFICULT PRONUNCIA- TION. I REALLY HOPE IT'S PAID OFF. WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK? HOW DO I SOUND?Use this second printing of the passage to mark the vowel sounds you practiced in Lesson #5 -- especially the ones that you have the most trouble producing. Remember to use the QUICK AMERICAN GLIDE technique on all of the double vowels. Then try combining the intonation units you practiced on the last page with the correct pronuciations you're drilling here.PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHERHELLO, MY NAME IS DAVID, I'M REALLY HAPPY TO SEE YOU.

HOW DO I SOUND?Course #2LESSON 1: SEPARATING THE HARD & SOFT VOWELS[LANGUAGE NOTE: Second language English speakers form almost any language have at least some trouble separating the hard and soft vowels in each of the following pairs. Speakers from ROMANCE LANGUAGES have particular trouble with the soft forms. Speakers from RUSSIAN and other SLAVIC LANGUAGES and speakers of YIDDISH and HEBREW have more trouble with the hard forms. BUT -- these pairs represent one of the most important pronunciation skills for any second language English speakers.]Listen closely to the instructions in lesson One of the tape. It will explain how to create the differences between the hard and soft sounds in each of four pairs of vowels. Each of the hard sounds has at least some of the characteristics of a diphthong -- (1) there is more rear-tongue movement, (2) there is a second stage or "echo" on the vowel, and (3) there is a slight downward pitch glide. The soft vowel in each pair is short, stays on one pitch, and has little or no movement in the back of the tongue.SECTION #1: HARD E and SOFT I {Counter #_______}L1/S1-A: "The Hard E"Phonetic Symbol : [ i ]COMMON SPELLINGS :"ee" as in TREE, SEEM, EEL"e+consonant+e" as in CONCRETE, SUPREME, SCENE"ea" as in MEA T, PEAS, EAN"y" as in MARY, HAPPILY, ENVYOCCASIONAL SPELLINGS:"ie" as in YIELD, IECES"ei" as in CEILING"i" as in SKI, INTRIGUE, MACHINEEACH, EVEN, SEE, KEY, GREEN, TREEHE, SHE, WE, ME, BEVERY, HAPPY, COUNTRY, SOFTLY, QUICKLYEEL, MEAL, SEAL, DEAL, APPEAL, REAL, WHEEL- THE GREEN CAR WENT SPEEDING ON THE FREEWAY.- SHE WAS HAPPY TO BE EATING CHEESE.- HE HURT HIS KNEE WHILE SKIING VERY RAPIDLY.- DON'T TEASE ME; MY MONEY IS REAL.- I'M VERY SORRY YOU DON'T AGREE WITH ME.Now here are additional worlds and sentences containing this hard sound which are not recorded on the tape.each see teach fleece key medeal equal eager police knee greenagree feed easy unique meal treecheat either ego ceiling please supremefree speak be needle freeway eavesmachine tea fee team money Edenachieve scene keen squeeze enough piecesyield beat meat stream esteem beakintrigue need neat jubilee fever three- Please cease to creep through the Garden of Eden.- Meat and cheese were served under the tree.- He twisted his knee while skiing fleetly down the peak.- Steve went to pieces because he was green with envy.- The speed demon careened off the freeway.- He teased the eager Marine with sneezing powder.- Meat, peas, and beans each provide protein.- He achieves intrigue by agreeing to speak Japanese.- She cheated me by dealing thirteen threes.- The reason for ceasing to speak was the parrot's beak.- Jean and the team serenely jumped onto the beam.L1/S1-B: "THE SOFT I"Phonetic Symbol : [ I ]COMMON SPELLINGS:"i" as in IT, SIT, STILL, IN, SISTER, VISIT, INFANTOCCASIONAL SPELLING:。
