SEMANTIC FUNCTION /si'msentik 'fAnkJen/ — in phonetics the term is used in connection with the differentjatory function (semantic role) of pho­netic means,

SEMANTIC TENDENCY /si'msentik 'tencEensi/— according to this type of tendency words with separable prefixes and compound words have two equal­ly strong stresses, e.g. 'tin'known, 'sit 'down, ' twenty-one^ 'eye-witness.

SEMI-VOWELS /'semi'vauslz/ — the term is almost out of use nowadaysv It refers to /j, w, r/,

SEMI-WEAK VOWELS /'semi'wtk 'vauelz/ - the vowels weaker in tam­ber which is the result of qualitative reduction: intermediate between full and¹ neutral phonation of the vowel.

SENSE-GROUP /'sensgrup/ — a word or a group of words that conveys some idea.

In the broad sense of the term (see PROSODATION). „,•„„«

SENTENCE STRESS /'sentans 'stres/ — the greater degree of prominence given to certaitfwords in a sentence. These words are usually nouns, adjeciyes, notional verbs and>dverf», interjections, numerals, demonstrative, possessive, emphasizing pronouns, interrogative words and two-syllable prepositions Ar­ticles, partfcles to and there, auxiliary, modal, and connective verbs, personal reflexive and reciprocal pronouns, one-syllable: prepositions, conjunctionsand conjunctive words - are, as a rule, unstressed. The distribution of sentence stress is determined by the semantic factor.

SHADE /Jeid/ — a slight variation.,

SHARP /j"cup/— strong and shrill. i,,._moii_Br

SOUTHERN ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION /'элоэп 'inglij ргэ,плпы ^feij3n/ see RECEIVED PRONUNCIATION, or RP.

SPECIAL QUESTION /'spejsl 'kwestjsn/ — the type of a 4t«sHoii begins with the interrogative words who, what, where, why, etc.,»Д information required. Special questions may refer to any part of the They are pronounced with the falling tone.

SPEECH MELODY /'spMJ 'irieledi/ - variations in the pitch of the voice in connected speech.

SPIRANT /'spaierent/ see FRICATIVE. ■

SPREAD LIP POSITION /'spred 'lip рэ'яJen/ - the pos^.[on when tne corners of the lips are widened in the horizontal direction, the teeth are siignuy

visible, and the lips come close to the gums. This position of the lips can be ob­served in the articulation of Ы.

STABILITY OF ARTICULATION /sta'biliti ev o=,tikju'leijW is the-state when the shape, volume and orifice-size of the mouth resonator are stable. According to the stability of articulation English vowels are divided into: monophthongs, diphthongs and diphthongoids.

STATISTICAL METHOD /sta'tistikal 'meOsd/ — the method which-, helps to establish frequency, probability and predictability oi occurrence of phonemes and their allophones in different positions.

STAVES /steivz/ — two parallel lines for intonation recording {by means-of special symbols).

STRESS or ACCENT is a greater degree of prominence which is effected! mainly by pronouncing the stressed syllable (a) on a different pitch or with & change of pitch direction in it; (b) with greater force of exhalation and greater muscular tension. The greater force of articulation is accompanied by an increase-in the length of the sound in the stressed syllable, especially vowels. Vowels in the stressed syllables are not reduced.

STRONG FORMS /'stn>n 'famz/ — the forms that can be observed in ac­cented words.

STRONG VOWELS IN WEAK POSITIONS /'strun 'vaualz in 'Wr.k pa-'zijenz/ — vowels the quantity of which is not reduced in unstressed positions. For example, Ы in blackboard /'blsekbwd/, /se/ in climax /'klaimaks/.

STRUCTURALISTS /'strAktfaralrsts/ — those scientists who analyse phonetic phenomena without recourse to meaning, which they consider to be external to linguistics (R. Jacobson, L. Bloomfield, L. Hjelmsley, E. Nida). Structuralists consider the sound structure as a system of relations between! phonemes. They carry out the investigation of the phonetic structure without recourse to history and' to the material aspect of phonemes, which are realizedl as distinctive units in words, phrases and sentences. All this makes their de­tailed analysis of phonemes abstract and schematic.

STYLES OF PRONUNCIATION ■ /'stailz av pr_9/nAnsi'eiJan/ — L. V. Shcherba suggested two types of style in pronunciation: full style and col­loquial style. According to D. Jones, there are the following varieties of style: rapid familiar style, slower colloquial style, slow conversational style, natural style, acquired style, formal style.

SUB-PHONEMIC VARIANTS /'sAbfs(uyntmik 'variants/ see SUBSI­DIARY MEMBERS.

SUBSIDIARY MEMBERS (allophones) /ssb'sidjsn 'membsz/ — variants-of phonemes that appear under the influence of the neighbouring phonemes with which they are in complementary distribution. They are subdivided into I. combinatory and 2. positional.

SUBSTITUTION METHOD /,SAbsli'tju;.fan 'me6sd/ — the method of replacing of one speech sound by another in the same position to see whether it results in a minimal pair, e.g. pen, ten, den.

SYLLABEME /'silabtm/ — a unit which is responsible for a few minimal and sub-minimal pairs, e.g. lightening — lightning differ only due to /n/ syl-labicity in the first word.

SYLLABIC /si'laebik/ — capable of forming a syllable.

SYLLABIC SOUNDS /si'isebib 'saundz/ — sounds that can form the peaks of prominence, they are vowels and sonants other than /i, w/.

SYLLABICATE /si'laebikeit/ — to divide into, syllables.

SYLLABLE /'silabl/ — shortest segment of speech continuum. Syllables are material carriers of words. They constitute words and their forms, phrases and sentences. According to J. Kenyon the syllable is one or more speech sounds, forming a single uninterrupted unit of utterance, which may be a word, or a commonly recognized and separable subdivision of a word.

SYLLABLE DIVISION /'silgbl di'vi3an/ - division of the word into

arcs of articulatory effort" (N. I. Zhinkin's theory). A strong-end consonant

begins the arc of loudness and a weak-end consonant terminates it. Compare

day, aid; in the first word /d/ constitutes the beginning of the arc of loudness,

or the beginning of a syllable, it is progressively voiced. In the second word /d/

constitutes the end of the arc of loudness, or the end of the syllable, it is progres- ^S'^Ve SYLLABLE PATTERN /'silgbl 'psetsn/— the type of syllable most common for the language. English and Russian are characterized by CV syllabic pattern, T TABLE OF CONSONANTS, TABLE OF VOWELS /'teibl av 'ktjnsanants, 'teibl av 'vau9lz/ ~ an orderly arrangement of consonants or vowels in verti­cal and horizontal columns. It helps to visualize the system of vowels and con­sonants and to compare them with the similar systems of the mother tongue. TABULATE /'tffibjuleit/ - to arrange in tabular form TACTILE /'tektail/ - of, relating to, or perceived by the sense of touch. TAIL /teil/ — unstressed or partly stressed syllables (or syllable) that follow the nucleus of the intonation group.. TAMBER /'tsernba/ — the quality of a musical sound, depending on what overtones are present and their respective amplitudes. TEETHRIDGE /'thönto/ see ALVEOLES

TENSE VOWELS /'tens 'vaualz/- these vowels are articulated wt
muscles of the lips, tongue, cheeks and the back wall of the pharynx made hard­
er by tensing, Traditionally they are long vowels: /b, cu, v, w, <s:l, ail snori
vowels are considered to be lax.,,,. 5„„_4.:_nn

TERMINAL TONE /'tammel 'taun/ - a change of pitch at the junction of two sense-groups. The American descriptivists use the term: clause terminal.

TIMBRE /'timba/ see TAMBER, TAMBRE.

TONE /teun/ - sounds may be periodical and non-periodical. «™ v
brationsof a'physical body are rhythmical, the auditory impression of periodic
waves is a musical tone, or in speech — a speech-tone..

TONEME /'teuntan/ - the toneme of a sentence or of a мпае-grottp в а
separate phonological unit, because it performs distinctive function, e.g.
\once — "never", 'not /once — "many times. ₄tunsst-

TONETIC STRESS MARKS /teu'netik 'stres,^^W - fhe marks suggest ed by R. Kingdon. They are placed before the stressed ^'e^JS in the same positions as the ordinary stress marks used in pbonetic *nnserg tions. They indicate the intonation as well as the stress. The advantage ош system is that it indicates high and low falling and rising ^tonöj£ Ä nw el and emphatic tones) in the text proper which enables the pupil to do without

^StaVTONETie TRANSCRIPTION /teu'netik trens'knpjenj'- tone and

stress indicators shown by placing special signs on an inlmed sea«,«^ j

between or beside the line of the text, These symbols are different, dashes ana
