МЕТОДИЧЕСКОЕ ПОСОБИЕ ПО ПРАКТИЧЕСКОЙ ФОНЕТИКЕ ДЛЯ СТУДЕНТОВ I КУРСА
Калуга, 2013
Предисловие
Настоящее методические пособие предназначено для студентов 1-го курса филологических факультетов для работы в процессе вводно-коррективного фонетического курса. Задача вводно-коррективного фонетического курса заключается в корректировке и автоматизации произносительных навыков студентов. Данное методическое пособие может использоваться как преподавателями в условиях аудиторных занятий, так и студентами в качестве дополнительного материала для самостоятельной работы параллельно с основным учебным пособием «Практическая фонетика английского языка» автора Е.Б. Карневской. Разделы данного методического пособия позволяют решать следующие задачи: отработка произношения отдельных звуков; отработка произношения звуков в потоке речи (ассимиляция); обучение ритмике, особенностям фразового ударения английского языка, а также коммуникативной функции английской интонации. Разделы, содержащие английские скороговорки и стихотворения, позволяют отрабатывать фонетические трудности английского языка в потоке речи, что является начальным этапом работы над развитием навыков устной речи. Также, данное методическое пособие содержит наиболее полное собрание правил чтения английского языка с примерами и упражнениями на отработку и закрепление полученных знаний. Теоретико-практический раздел об основных типах английских вопросов рассказывает о правилах построения каждого типа вопросов и о тонах, с которыми произносятся конкретные типы вопросов. Раздел “Dialogues for intoning” позволяют применить знания об основных типах тонов английской интонации на практике, а именно, содержит ряд диалогов и текстов, которые можно самостоятельно проинтонировать и озвучить.
Авторы настоящего методического пособия надеются, что данный материал будет полезным, как для коллег-преподавателей, так и для студентов, и будут благодарны за замечания, советы и критику, которые помогут им улучшить пособие.

§ 1. Дыхательные упражнения
Упражнение 1: Вдох – четыре резких выдоха
Уприте язык в нижние зубы, не выгибая спинку языка, слегка открыв рот. Глубоко вдохните и сделайте четыре резких выдоха.
Упражнение 2: Вдох и несколько сильных, но коротких выдохов с постепенным закрыванием рта
Широко открыв рот, глубоко вдохните, сделайте как можно больше выдохов, постепенно закрывая рот.
Упражнение 3: Вдох с оттягиванием назад уголков губ назад и плавный выдох
Слегка откройте рот, оттягивая уголки губ назад, и вдохните. Сохраняя положение губ и щель между зубами, плавно выдохните.
Упражнение 4: Оскал
Слегка приоткройте рот, оттягивая уголки губ назад, и при вдохе приподнимите верхнюю и опустите нижнюю губу так, чтобы были видны верхние и нижние резцы зубов. Губы держите плоско. Сделайте несколько коротких, но резких выдохов. Не морщите нос. Язык уприте в нижние зубы.
Упражнение 5: Опускание челюсти
Сделайте «оскал», вдохните, и при выдохе опустите нижнюю челюсть вниз, не меняя положения губ и языка.
Упражнение 6: Повторение упр. 5 с сокращением выдоха при опущенной челюсти
Продолжить выдох при подъеме челюсти до сохранения узкой щели между зубами. Выполняйте закрывание плавно и ритмично. Это упражнение отличается от предыдущего выдохом – при нем челюсть плавно идет вверх.
Упражнение 7: Губно-зубная преграда
Повторите «оскал», вдохните, при выдохе коснитесь наружным краем нижней губы верхних резцов несколько раз.
Упражнение 8: Хоботок
Вытяните губы слегка вперед, округлив их. Вдохните носом при закрытом рте, а выдох произведите через круглое отверстие вытянутых в хоботок губ.
Упражнение 9: Хоботок – оскал
Чередуйте «оскал» и «хоботок». Сначала – вдох через нос с закрытым ртом, выдох разделите на две части между «хоботком» и «оскалом».
Упражнение 10: Быстрая смена положения губ от «оскала» к «хоботку» и обратно
Сделайте несколько чередований «хоботка» и «оскала» при выдохе. В момент вытягивания губ задержите выдох, разделив его таким образом на 3 - 4 раза. Задержку делайте очень короткой, для чего быстро выдвигайте губы вперед, округляя их.
Упражнение 11: Губно-губная преграда
Слегка приоткрыв рот, закрывайте его при вдохе, затем сделайте несколько плотных смыканий губ, разжимая их сильной струей воздуха при выдохе.
Упражнение 12: Округление губ
Сделайте «оскал» и резко опустите челюсть вниз. При выдохе округлите губы, не вытягивая их и не меняя положения челюсти.
Упражнение 13: Межзубная преграда
Сделайте «оскал» и положите язык между зубами, сохраняя плоское положение языка. Плавно и сильно выдохните 3 - 4 раза.
Упражнение 14: Альвеолярная преграда
Сделайте «оскал», кончиком языка коснитесь бугорков за верхними зубами несколько раз. Чередуйте апикальное положение языка с нейтральным, т.е. у нижних зубов.
Упражнение 15: При широкой щели между зубами округлите губы, вдохните, и выдвинув как можно дальше назад язык, выдохните.

§ 5. Types of Questions
Yesterday Kelly went to London to see her friend.
| Kind of question | Question forming, order and intonation | Examples |
| 1.General Questions | In these questions, the auxiliary verb (to do, to be, to have, will) is placed before the subject, and the main verb follows the subject, i.e., the word order is: auxiliary verb + subject + main verb (+ object + adverbial modifier). Responses to general questions can be in the form of short "Yes" or "No" answers or in the form of full statements (General questions are also called Yes / No questions or yes-no questions). General questions are pronounced with the High Rising nuclear tone (mid-high variant) preceded a High Level or Stepping Head, normal or high Prehead. | Did she go to London to see her friend yesterday? (Yes, she did/No, she didn`t) Negative-interrogative: Didn`t she go to London to see her friend yesterday? |
| 2. Disjunctive Questions (Tag Questions) | A disjunctive question (a tag question) consists of two parts. The first part is a declarative sentence (a statement). The second part is a short general question (the tag). If the statement is affirmative, the tag is negative. If the statement is negative, the tag is affirmative. Use the Falling tone in the first part and the Rising tone (if you aren`t sure of the answer) or the Falling tone (if your purpose is to keep the conversation going on) in the second part of the tag question. | Yesterday Kelly went to London to see her friend, didn`t she? |
| 3. Alternative Questions | Word order in alternative questions (questions with a choice) is the same as in general questions. The answer is usually given in full because you need to make a choice, but short responses are also possible. Use the Rising tone on the first element of the choice (before "or") and the Falling tone on the second element of the choice. | Did she go to London or to Liverpool to see her friend yesterday? Did she go to London to see her friend or her teacher yesterday? Did she go to London to see her friend yesterday or two weeks ago? |
| 4. Questions to the subject | When the interrogative word "who" or "what" is the subject in the question (i.e., the question is put to the subject), the question is asked without an auxiliary verb, and the word order is that of a statement: interrogative word (i.e., the subject) + predicate (+ object + adverbial modifier). | Who went to London to see a friend yesterday? |
| 5. Special questions | When the question is put to any part of the sentence, except the subject, the word order after the interrogative word (e.g., how, whom, what, when, where, why) is the same as in general questions: interrogative + auxiliary verb + subject + main verb (+ object + adverbial modifier). The answer is usually given in full, but short responses are also possible. Special questions are pronounced with the Falling tone. | Why did she go to London? When did she go to London to see her friend? Where did she go to see her friend yesterday? Who(-m) did she go to London to see yesterday? |
§ 6. Reading Rules
Типы слогов
I тип слога – открытый слог, т.е. слог, оканчивающийся на гласную. Ударная гласная читается так, как она называется в алфавите. Обычно это долгий гласный или дифтонг. Первый тип слога имеет две разновидности:
1. Абсолютно открытый слог – графический образ слога совпадает с его фонетическим образом (с его звучанием);
Me [ mi: ], no [ nəu ]
2. Условно открытый слог – графически открытый, а фонетически закрытый.
Note [ nəut ], Pete [ pi:t ]
II тип слога – закрытый слог. В этом типе слога за ударной буквой стоит одна или несколько любых согласных, кроме r. Гласная буква в этом типе слога передает краткий звук, и согласные буквы, стоящие перед гласной, как правило, не влияют на чтение гласной.
Pen [ pen ], spend [ spend ]
III тип слога – слог, в котором за ударной буквой следует r. Буква r не читается, она указывает на то, что предшествующая ей гласная имеет долгое чтение.
В случае с rr, как и со всякой удвоенной согласной, ударная гласная двусложного слова читается по 2 типу слога. В случае, когда за ударной гласной двусложного слова стоит согласная r, эта гласная читается по 4 типу слога:
2 тип: marry [ mærɪ ], sorry [ sɔrɪ ]
4 тип: Mary [ mɛərɪ ], during [ djuərɪŋ ]
IV тип слога – графически напоминает условно открытый слог. Разница между ними в том, что в 4 типе слога между ударной гласной и немым e стоит не любая согласная, а именно r.
ТАБЛИЦА ЧТЕНИЯ ГЛАСНЫХ БУКВ ПОД УДАРЕНИЕМ
| Тип слога Буквы | Алфавитное чтение | Краткое чтение | Чтение гласной в сочетании | |
| I тип открытый слог | II тип закрытый слог | III тип гласная + r | IV тип гласная + r + e | |
| a | [ eɪ ] name lake | [ æ ] flag back | [ ɑ: ] part car | [ ɛə ] hare care Искл: are [ ɑ: ] |
| o | [ əu ] rose go | [ ɔ ] stop dog | [ ɔ: ] sport fork | [ ɔ: ] store more |
| e | [ i: ] Pete be | [ e ] pet ten | [ ə: ] Bert per | [ ɪə ] here mere Искл: there [ ðɛə ], where [ wɛə ], were [ wə: ] |
| u | [ ju: ] music cube | [ ʌ ] bus cut | [ ə: ] fur turn | [ juə ] pure cure Искл: sure [ ʃuə ] |
| i y | [ aɪ ] type Mike time | [ ɪ ] Syd pin myth thick | [ ə: ] sir girl | [ aɪə ] fire tyre hire |
Note:
· После звуков [ r ],[ l ], [ ʤ ] буква u читается как [ u: ]: rule [ ru:l ], plume [ plu:m ], June [ ju:n ].
· После звуков [ ʃ ], [ ʤ ], [ r ] и сочетания букв согл. + lбуква u читается как [ uə ]: sure [ ʃuə ], jury [ ʤuərɪ ], rural [ ruərəl ], plural [ pluərəl ].
