Guess the phonetic phenomenon.

1.It is a complicated phenomenon within which the relations between the distinctive features of phonemes are revealed and the stress pattern of a word as well as the rhythmic and intonation structure of an utterance is realized. It may consist of one phoneme or a number of phonemes and has articulatory, acoustic, auditory and functional aspects. It can be a part of a word or a word itself. It is a unit of both segmental and supra-segmental features.

2.This is a complex phenomenon marked by the variations in the pitch of the voice, force or utterance, qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the syllabic phoneme. It organizes the syllables of a word into a language unit and in some cases helps to differentiate words, word combinations and sentences. In the English language it is free, has several degrees, and is influenced by recessive, rhythmical and retentive tendencies.

3.It is a supra-segmental phonetic phenomenon which is formed by a complex unity of the variations in the pitch of the voice, the greater prominence of one or more words among other words, the special colouring of voice, regular recurrence of stressed and unstressed syllables within more or less equal intervals of time and the relative speed with which the sentence is pronounced. It performs sentence-forming, sentence-delimiting, distinctive and attitudinal functions.

Guess the name of the linguist.

1.This linguist had a broad sphere of interests. Working on the phoneme theory he paid his attention on the fact that the phoneme has a certain amount of independence and investigated the development of variants into separate phonemes and the deterioration of phonemes into variants. He was the first who advanced the idea of the distinctive function of phonemes and considered them to be real units. Defining the phonemic variants he emphasizes the relationship and dialectal unity of individual and universal. He was also interested in the process of syllable formation and tried to explain it in connection with the variations of the force of articulation.
