Slide 1: What are suprasegmentals?

Suprasegmentals are features that extend beyond individual sounds. They shape meaning with pitch, stress, juncture, and intonation, across larger units like syllables and phrases.

2

Slide 2: Pitch

Pitch refers to the highness or lowness of voice. It signals questions, emotions, or emphasis by rising or falling across words or sentences.

3

Slide 2: 4 Contrasting Levels of Pitch

These are:


Low

Middle

High

Very High

4

Slide 5: Intonation

Intonation is the melody of speech. Rising tones often signal questions; falling tones can declare statements or commands.

5

Slide 5: Examples of Falling Intonation

  1. Statements: (Declarative Sentences): We live in MOScow.
  2. Special Questions: Where do you LIVE?
  3. Commands: (Imperative Sentences) STOP it! Sit DOwn.
  4. Exclamatory Sentences: What a wonderful SURprise!
6

Slide 5: Examples of Rising Intonation

  1. General Questions: Was she glad to / SEE him?.
  2. Dependent or Introductory Parts of the Sentences: Would you like an APple or a PEAR?
  3. Direct Address: SIR, you dropped your noteBOOK.
  4. Tag Questions: (When the speaker is not sure that the answer will be 'yes' or wants your opinion)

ex: It's a beautiful TOWN, ISN'T it?

7

Slide 7: Sentence-level intonation

All sentences have a pattern of rises and falls. Yes/no questions usually end high; wh- questions end with a fall after the question word.

8

Slide 3: Stress

Stress highlights syllables or words. It changes meaning (e.g., desert vs. dessert) and helps listeners parse sentences quickly.

9

Slide 6: WORD STRESS RULE

English uses stressed-timed rhythm. By stressing certain syllables, speakers create rhythm and guide listeners to important information.

10

Slide 4: Juncture

Juncture is the pause and connection between sounds. It clarifies information flow, helps distinguish words, and indicates boundaries.

11

Slide 8: Practical examples

Contrast: REcord (noun) vs. reCORD (verb). Stress shifts meaning and helps listeners identify function and focus.

Slide 10: Summary

QR

Remember: pitch shapes questions, stress marks focus, juncture guides boundaries, intonation conveys mood. Practice aloud daily.
