2.Comparative phonetics studies the successive changes in the system of a given language at different stages of its development.

3.The sound matter of language is a complex unity of three aspects – articulatory, acoustic and auditory.

4.The methods of direct observation aim at determining in what way phonetic phenomena are used in a language to create a certain meaning.

5.According to L. Bloomfield the analysis of the phonological level should be the final stage of the description of a language.

6.W. Twaddel called the phoneme «a family of sounds».

7.L.R. Zinder developed the theory of phonemic independence.

8.N.S. Trubetzkoy defined the phoneme as a unity of both relevant and irrelevant features.

9.The number of phonemes in each language is much greater than the number of sounds actually pronounced.

10.Allophones of different phonemes can differentiate meaning.

11.Contrastive distribution is the type of distribution when one phoneme manifests itself in the form of different allophones which never occur in the same phonetic context.

12.Labiodental consonants are articulated with the upper lip against the edge of the lower teeth.

13.Short vowels in English are lax.

14.There are more vowel phonemes in English than in Russian.

15.The American scientist Stetson tried to prove the validity of the muscular tension theory of syllable formation by recording the lip, tongue and chest movements and measuring variations in the lung and subglottic air pressure.

16.Initially covered syllables begin in a consonant and end in a vowel.

17.Phonetic syllables do not always coincide with orthographic ones.

18.The loudness theory of syllable formation was put forward by Otto Jespersen.

19.In the English language there are two distinctive degrees of word stress – primary and secondary.

20.The English language is characterized by the free word stress.

21.Restricted recessive stress falls on the third syllable from the end in three- and four-syllabic words.

22.Quantitative and qualitative aspects of word stress do not exist separately from the dynamic aspect.

23.The obligatory element of intonation pattern, which is present in any syntagma is called the head.

24.The Rise-Fall is a complex moving tone.

25.The Fall-Rise starts in the middle of the voice range, rises to a very high pitch and then falls to a very low pitch.

26.The sentence-delimiting function of intonation is connected with determining the communicative type of a sentence.

27.The pitch component of intonation consists in the special colouring of a person’s voice which shows the speaker’s emotions.

28.The tempo of speech is the regular recurrence of stressed syllables at more or less equal intervals of time.

29.Regional variants of standard are restricted to relatively small localities and used by uneducated people.

30.Conservative RP is adopted by the BBC.
