Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tamil Self-Taught (in Roman Characters): With English Phonetic Pronunciation It is primarily intended to supply a working and practical knowledge of the language, for the benefit of those who have not the time or the Inclination to master the grammar, and yet require to use the spoken tongue for purposes of business or pleasure. With this in view many vocabularies are supplied, carefully selected to suit the needs of the Tamil countries and classified according to subject, and also a large number of colloquial phrases and sentences of a practical character, similarly classi fied. Throughout these sections of the volume the pronunciation of the Tamil words is added, according to Marlborough's system of phonetics a system which has grown out of long experience, and is of so simple a nature that, by means of it, a stranger to the language who knows English only, can read off the words at a glance and thus easily make himself understood amongst Tamil-speaking people. At the same time the grammar forms a useful book of reference on any point of construo tion, etc., which may arise.

This book was released on 2023-09-19 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents cutting-edge research on the production and perception of speech rhythm by speakers of English in countries where it is used as a foreign language or an institutionalised second language (also sometimes known as the Expanding and Outer Circles). It contributes to a better understanding of speech rhythm, which has long been recognised as an important supra-segmental category of speech, focusing on its relevance in World Englishes, Second Language Acquisition and learner varieties of English, as well as the sociolinguistic and perceptual significance of this phonological variable.

Download or read book Multilingual Norms written by Madalena Cruz-Ferreira and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multilinguals are not multiple monolinguals. Yet multilingual assessment proceeds through monolingual norms, as if fair conclusions were possible in the absence of fair comparison. In addition, multilingualism concerns what people do with language, not what languages do to people. Yet research focus remains on multilinguals' languages, as if languages existed despite their users. This book redresses these paradoxes. Multilingual scholars, teachers and speech-language clinicians from Europe, Asia, Australia and the US contribute the first studies dedicated to multilingual norms, those found in real-life multilingual development, assessment and use. Readership includes educators, clinicians, decision-makers and researchers interested in multilingualism.
Download or read book Prosody in Syntactic Encoding written by Gerrit Kentner and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-07-06 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the role of prosody in the generation of sentence structure? A standard notion holds that prosody results from mapping a hierarchical syntactic structure onto a linear sequence of words. A radically different view conceives of certain intonational features as integral components of the syntactic structure. Yet another conception maintains that prosody and syntax are parallel systems that mutually constrain each other to yield surface sentential form. The different viewpoints reflect the various functions prosody may have: On the one hand, prosody is a signal to syntax, marking e.g. constituent boundaries. On the other hand, prosodic or intonational features convey meaning; the concept “intonational morpheme” (as e.g. an exponent of information structural notions like topic or focus) puts prosody and intonation squarely into the syntactic representation. The proposals collected in this book tackle the intricate relationship of syntax and prosody in the encoding of sentences. The contributions build their cases on the basis of solid empirical evidence, adducing data from experiments or from the careful analysis of natural speech. The volume thus represents a state of the art survey of research on the syntax-phonology interface.
Download or read book Studies on Reduplication written by Bernhard Hurch and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2011-12-22 with total page 653 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For several reasons, mostly inherent to the different developments of generative grammar, an increasing number of publications have dealt with reduplication in the past 20 years. Reduplication lends itself perfectly as a test field for theories that opt for a non-segmental organization of phonology and morphology. As it happens frequently, then, the discussion centers around a rather small set of data for which alternative analysis are offered, and which themselves are intended to contribute to the foundation of new theoretical developments. The present volume (which goes back to a conference on reduplication at the University of Graz, Austria) offers a broader approach to reduplication not only from different theoretical viewpoints, but especially for its phenomenology. Across theories a number of highly qualified authors deal with formal and functional perspectives, with typological properties, with semantics, comparative issues, the role of reduplication in language acquisition, the acquisition of reduplicative systems, sign languages, creoles and pidgins, general grammatical and cognitive principles; the picture is completed by a series of language or language-family specific studies as on Uto-Aztecan, Salish, Tupi-Guarani, Moroccan and Cairene Arabic, various African languages, Chinese, Turkish, Indo-European, languages from India, etc. The overall scope of the conference was to contribute to a new level of discussion of the phenomenon, across theories and across specializations and interests.
