Pronunciation and phonology. There are phonemes in English that represent the sounds, and these phonemes help the students to know how to say the words. As we know that a letter in English can have different sounds. For example the sound of the letter o in the word (go) is totally different from the sound in the word (done). The as the letter s sound in the world (sugar) and the word (suit). So knowing how to pronounce the word correctly is vital. There are two issues that need to stressed with international phonetic alphabet, first we are no longer concerned on how the word is spelled, and we are only concerned on the sound needed. There are two different sounds in English; consonants sound and vowel sounds. The consonant sounds can be voiced or unvoiced as in, band p. the vowels are divided into two; pure vowels, and dipthongs. The manner of articulation has six different ways; plosive, affricatives, fricatives, nasal, lateral, and approximants.
While pronunciation typically concerns on the individual words, intonation is on the contrary, it concerns on the whole sentence, carries the message of the sentence. The patterns for intonation are rise-fall , as in I haven’t been there for a month. And this indicates that the speech is over. The second pattern is fall-rise example; you didn’t really do that, did you? And fall- rise patterns indicates surprise and often dissagrement, and that the speaker wants person tp respont or confirm. Then the last one is the flat intonation which indicates that we aren’t inerested.
