Topic-049: Transcription Beyond Words In the last few topics, we covered the transcription of segments (sounds) at word level. But we also need to know the features of connected speech (beyond words) at suprasegmental level. This type of transcription is required when a spoken language is analyzed as a continuous sequence, as in normal utterances and conversations. It is now realized by experts that important changes happen to sound units when they are used in a connected speech e.g., and becoming n in such phrases as boys and girls. One more example is n becoming min the phrase green bus. The features of connected speech are assimilation, rhythm, stress, elision, linking, tone and intonation. Download 1.01 Mb.
