LECTURE UNSTRESSED VOCALISM
1Can you name three ways of The English vowels occurring in unstressed syllables form a definite system. They may be pronounced in three different ways: (1)A vowel of full formation may be used in an unstressed syllable; (2)A semi-weak vowel may be used in an unstressed syllable; (3)An unstressed vowel may undergo different types of reduction. The English language is characterized by a specific way of uttering unstressed syllables which is not typical of Russian. Practically any vowel of full formation may be used in unstressed. syllables, as in the case of: / ni:s - 'grænnit:s / (niece - grand-niece); / fit - 'benifit/ (fit - benefit); / sekt - 'insekt / (sect - insect); / græm - ' kilәgræm / (gramme - kilogramme); /a:t - as'tistik / (art - artistic); / pot - 'ti:pt/ (pot - teapot); / b:d - 'b1кæb:d / (board - blackboard); / ful - 'spu:nful / (full - spoonful); / kju: - kju:teinjәs / (queue - cutaneous); / naun - 'prounaun / (noun - pronoun); / fould - 'siksfould / (fold - sixfold); etc. Such vowels of full formation are used in all styles of pronunciation. Their substitution by a reduced vowel is incorrect. A semi-weak vowel may be used in an unstressed syllable as well. I.Ward defines a semi-weak vowel as "a vowel that lies in an intermediate position between the strong vowels and the neutral ә ". [3]) She gives / о / as an example for it, as in: / ou'bei - obei - әbei / (obey); / nou’vembә- no'vembә- nә'vembә / (November); / prou’test - pro'test – prәtest / (protest). The unstressed vowels in the first column are of full formation; in the second the vowels are semi-weak; in the third are reduced to the neutral vowel /ә/. I.Ward's definition of a semi-weak vowel seems to be incomplete. Prof.V.A.Vassilyev's definition of a semi-weak vowel runs as follows: " ... a semi-weak vowel may, therefore, be defined as a partially reduced vowel which is used in a more careful style of pronunciation instead of the neutral vowel used in the rapid colloquial style and instead of the corresponding vowel of full formation used in the full style". ^ G.P.Toreuyev regards semi-weak vowels as products of partial reduction. Here are some more examples of semi-weak vowels: / ou'mi∫әn - o'mi∫n - әmi∫n / (omission) / 'inouveit - 'inoveit - 'inәveit / (innovate); / interou'gei∫әn - lntero'gei∫n – interә'gel∫n / (interrogation) / voukælik - vo'kælik – vәkælik / (vocalic); / mein'tein - mentein – mәn'tein / (maintain); / (hmoud|i:njәs - (hmo'di:njәs – hmә'di:mjәs/ (homogeneous); etc. A vowel in an unstressed syllable is most commonly reduced. Vowel reduction is a characteristic feature of English, Russian and some other languages. A vowel in an unstressed syllable becomes shorter, weaker and less distinct. There are three degrees of reduction in English: quantitative, qualitative, and zero. In quantitative reduction it is the length of a vowel which is reduced, as in:
Strong forms Quantitatively reduced forms Were Your Me For to Strong forms Qualitatively reduced forms Were Me For To And Them Zero reduction consists in dropping out a vowel or a consonant, as in the case of: Strong forms Reduced forms with zero reduction Shall Am Him And From would Reduction la one of the phonetic changes taking place inthe historical development of a language. The moat important role in the system of unstressedvocalism in English is played by the neutral vowel phoneme / ә /, which has a number of allophones. Vowels in stressed position usually alternate with vowels in unstressed position. Such alternation between stressed and un-streesed vowels is called vowel gradation. There are several types of vowel gradation in English. They are: (1)Any English vowel of full formation in a stressed position may alternate with the neutral vowel: / 3i: - Ьь/ (-;he); / Эет - 6am / (them); / aend ■• эг.Л / (and); I J1rd " Jad/ sho..ld); / лр - a'pon / up - upon); / tui - ta / ( o)i / "prougres - iiri'gieslv / tpvogreae - prc»isseiv>.); / ta'woid - "fo wad / (toward - forward), etc. (2)The stressed /is/ alternates with the unstressed /i/i / ripiit - ^epi'tijn / (repeat - repetition)! / kam'pitt - jk.impi'tijn / (compete - competition)j / is'titm — "essimabl / (esteem - estimable)} etc. (3)The stressed /в/ alternates with the unstressed /1/t / ik'sel - 'eke slant / (excel - excellent)) / ri'visl - reviieijn / (reveal - revelation)} / invelap - •enviloup / (envelop - envelope)} / pripЈa - ^rops'reijn / (prepare - preparation)) / ri'sait - ^eui'teijn / (recite - recitation); / dl'faln - 'definit / (define - definite); etc. (4) The stressed /ei/ sometimes alternates with the unstressed /i/: / дз1 -'fraidl / (cay - ?riday); / del - 'halsdi / (t.ay - holiday); / del - 'wenzdi / (day - Wednesday); etc. Though the neutral vowel sound is short and indistinct it is capable of forming minimal pairs thus differentia'.in^ one word from another. The most сommon opposition is / ә - i /, though ./ә - ou / is also possible. For instance: / 'houlә - 'houli / (holer - holey); / әk'sept - iksept / (accept - ex pt); / ‘sli:pә - 'slis:pi / (sleeper - sleepy); / "a:mә - 'а:mi / (armour - army); / 'smoukә - 'smouki / (smoker - smoky); / 'ofisәz - 'fisiz / (officers - offices); / ' dri:mә - • dri:mi / (dreamer - dreamy); / ' tempә - 'tempou / (temper - tempo); / 'soulә - 'soulou / (solar - solo); / 'a:t∫әz - "a:t∫iz / (archers - arches); / 'ti:t∫әz - ' tі:t∫iz / (teachers - teaches); / 1 bent∫әz - 'bent∫iz / (benchers - benches); / vәkei∫n – vou’kei∫n / (vacation - vocation); / ә'fekt - f'fekt / {affect - effect); etc.
