Minimal Pairs
Definition:Definition:
Two words with different meanings that differ only in one phoneme in the same position in each word.
e.g. beat vs. meat
here vs. dear
mad vs. man
/biːt/ /miːt//hiːr/ /diːr//mæd/ /mæn/

Stressing out about stress?
• primary stress: / ˈ / as in /əˈbaʊt/, /ˈbeɪsɪk/, /bəˈnænɑ/
• secondary stress: /ˌ / as in /ˌlɪŋˈɡwɪs.tɪks/, /ˈaɪsˌkɹiːm/

Connected Speech
• Pronunciation of individual words changes in context
• Depending on the sentence stress, some words are „weakened“ (so-called weak forms)
• Typically function words

The North Wind & the Sun The North Wind and the Sun were disputing which was the stronger, when a traveler came along wrapped in a warm cloak.
They agreed that the one who first succeeded in making the traveler take his cloak off should be considered stronger than the other.
Then the North Wind blew as hard as he could, but the more he blew the more closely did the traveler fold his cloak around him;
and at last the North Wind gave up the attempt. Then the Sun shined out warmly, and immediately the traveler took off his cloak.
And so the North Wind was obliged to confess that the Sun was the stronger of the two.

Your Turn!
Fill in the blanks (weak forms) in either British or American English.
Exercise from Roach, Ch.12
![Page 25: BM3 Introduction to English Linguistics Part II Session 3: Phonology](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081417/551c222c550346a84f8b5c01/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
There is one major error in each transcription line that is an impossible pronunciation for any American English speaker.
The error may consist of an extra symbol, a missing symbol, or a wrong symbol in the word.
Note that the phonetic given is a narrow transcription; aspiration is marked, as is the nasalization of vowels. This is to illustrate a detailed transcription.
However, none of the errors involve aspiration or nasalization of vowels.
Write the word in which the error occurs in the correct phonetic transcription.
