In unit thirteen we discussed pronunciation and phonology. We began by discussing intonation and the typical rise/fall pattern that most sentences and utterances follow. Then we discussed the fall/rise pattern that is mostly when the speaker wants a response from who they are speaking to, but also in moments of surprise, disagreement, or when they are not yet finished speaking. Next we covered the stressing of words and syllables and how the stress we place on certain words in a sentence can effect the meaning of our message. We covered the phonetic alphabet and it's use to symbolize articulation. We went over the different places of articulation including velar, palatal, palatal-alveolar, alveolar, dental, labial-dental, bilabial, and glottal. Then the manner of articulation including plosives, fricatives, nasals, laterals, affricates, and approximates. Lastly, we covered techniques for teaching pronunciation.
