VU Lesson-09 PHONEMIC AND PHONETIC TRANSCRIPTION-III At the end of this section, the students will be able to: • EXPLAIN and RECOGNIZE the transcription of the suprasegmental features (beyond words).
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.
