Aspect of Connected Speech

I Will Survive Cake

1.

Rhythm

The notion of rhythm involves some noticeable event happening at regular interval

of time; one can detect the rhythm by a heartbeat, of a flashing light or of a piece of music.

At first I was afraid

I was petrified

I kept thinking I could never live without you by my side

2.

Assimilation

A phoneme realised when the word is pronounced in isolation, a phoneme realised

differently as a result of being near some other phoneme belonging to a neighbouring word

we call this difference an instance of assimilation.

I kept thinking I could never live without you by my side/kpt IkI

kd nv lIv wI at ju: bmsId/ kpt Ikn kd nv lIv

wiat ju: bmsd

3. Elision

The nature of elision may be stated quite simply; under certain circumstances

sounds disappear.

I was petrified/wz ptrIfd / /wz pt Ifd/

I kept thinking I could never live without you by my side /kpt IkI

kd nv lIv wI at ju:bmsd / /kpt IkI kd nvlIv

wiatbmsd/

But I spent so many nights just thinking how you have done me wrong /bt

spnt smni ntz dst k haju havdn mi r/ /bt

spnt smni ntz dst k hajuvdn mi r/

And so you are back from outer space /nd sju bak frm atspes/

/nd sjbak frm atspes/

I should have changed my freaking lock /d havtend mfrik lk/

/.dvtend mfrik lk/

I would have made you leave your key /wd hvmed ju liv jki/

/aw.dvmed ju liv jki/ If I would have known for just one second /f wd hvnn fdst wn

sek.nd/ /f w.dvnn fdst wn sek.nd/

You are not welcome anymore/ ju: ntwelkm e.ni.m/ /ju: nt

welkm e.ni.m

Were not you the one who tried to break me with desire? /wntju wn

hu trd tbrek mi w d.z/ /wntju wn hu trd tbrek

mi w d.z/

Did you think I would crumble? /dd ju:k wd krm.bl / /dd j

k wd krm.bl /

Did you think I would lay down and die?/dd ju:k wd ledan nd

d/ /dd jk wd ledan nd d/

4. Linking

All words will be separate units placed next to each other in sequence; in real

connected speech, however, we link words together in a number of ways.
