A) Analyze the simple rhythm-units into three groups — monobeats (M), trochees (T) and dactyls (D).

— Use the analysis of the following sentence as a model:

'The city has a difficult political future, but its present environmental problems arise from its success'.

The city has a difficult political future

D+l D+4 T

but its present environmental problems

D+2 T T

arise from its success.

D+l_________M________________________

Note: for the pause after 'problems' see 2.2.7.

b) Explain the rule of English rhythm that is observed in the case of:

'the city has a difficult political future'

'the most famous views' '

'a pretty good symbol'

'some things very much in common'

'to qualify this nowadays'

— Why are 'has', 'political', 'famous', 'good', 'things', 'much', 'this' phonetically degraded?

5.2.8. Study each of the prosodic contours in the text. — Use the following analysis as a model:

'The city has a difficult political future, \ but its present environmental problems | arise from its success.'

The sentence consists of three contours. The first one is:

'The city has a difficult political future'

a) There are no accents here.

b) The contour is a Descending Scale. It consists of two steps (which rely on the two level tones on the stressed syllables 'sit-' and 'dif-') and ends in a mid-falling tone on 'future'. The remaining two contours of the sentence are described along the same lines.

5.2-9. What prosodic means are used in different cases of accenl in the text?

5.2.10. Comment on the use of

— Low-Falling tones in the text;

— Low-Rising tones in the text;

— Mid-Falling tones in the text;

— High-Falling tones in the text;

— Falling-Rising tones in the text.

5.2.11. Comment on the modifications of tempo, loudness and pitch in the following parts of the text:

'... and (though some in the West are finding it prudent to qualify this nowadays) that the Earth resources are there to be exploited and put to use'; '... the highest density in the world, the most crowded place in history'; '...that big is beautiful, that progress is the same thing as growth'.

— What is the function of these modifications in each of these cases?
