[00:05:01]ENG 204 Introduction to General Phonetics and Phonology. Introduction to General Phonetics and Phonology. Good morning. You're welcome. You're welcome to today's live session.

[00:05:13]ENG 204 Introduction to General English Phonetics and Phology 2. So it is a follow up from last semester's course. Okay, it's the part two of last semester's course. All right, we are meant to there are two of us that are meant to actually take this course. Um but while I do the live sessions, the virtual sessions, the other lecturer, Dr. David Ilo will be joining us in our physical classes.

[00:05:50]Okay. So, it's a combined virtual class and in our physical classes we break out into our normal um education and arts.

[00:06:02]Okay. So, it's a combined virtual it's going to be um we break out into a department. Okay. I hope you can hear me. Just say hi. If you can hear me, say hi.

[00:06:23]>> Can stop because can you hear me? Are we still here?

[00:06:36]Can you hear me?

[00:06:39]Am I back?

[00:06:44]You can hear me. All right. Good. All right. So like I was saying we'll um break out into arts and education in our physical classes but in our virtual classes. Thank you. You can hear me says you can hear me? Yes you can remember.

[00:07:05]Okay. So then in our virtual classes we'll have a combined class and um it won't be every week definitely. It's going to be alternatively.

[00:07:14]Okay. Alternated. Okay. So this week we have live the the subsequent week we have physical. This week live subsequently physical. Okay. So we're going to begin with the course content.

[00:07:30]Just hit the like button as you come into the session. Hit the like button as you come into the session. We're going to begin with our course content. Okay.

[00:07:43]We're going to begin with our course content and we have here as number one.

[00:07:50]Also, please don't leave the live session. If you leave the live session, it means you didn't attend the virtual class. Okay? It means you did not attend the virtual class. But you stay to the end where we will do a roll call and you'll be navigated to a video which you can watch at any time at your spare time at your free time which you can watch at your convenience which you can work at your you can watch at your convenience. Okay. So do not leave the live session until I start saying bye. You can leave and I'll let you know the activity to do to prove that you attended this live session.

[00:08:43]Okay. I guess you can hear me. All right.

[00:08:49]All right. So what we have here as number one is what is a syllable?

[00:09:00]What is a syllable?

[00:09:03]Can we just type syllable? The word syllable. That's what we are going to begin with. Just type syllable. So that I I I it's a confirmation that you're hearing me and that you're listening and that you're following.

[00:09:20]Good syllable. All right. Our moderator has tied syllable. Yes. Messi confidence. I see you.

[00:09:28]Ala Messi Kevin Solomon I see you I see you okay so at this stage when we meet next week in our physical class we are going to be um looking at what a syllable is and we'll try to understand the fact that it is the minimal unit of pronunciation it's a unit it's not a sound okay is a combination of sounds is a minimal unit the smallest unit you can get can be a word okay it can merge with other words that is it can coales with other words okay it can stand on its own so we at that stage at that point which is the first thing we're going to look at we will look at the syllable and try to understand the phonetic nature of the syllable and the phological nature of the syllable kindly hit the like button as you come in as you come into the live session just hit the like button. Thank you.

[00:10:29]Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. So, our first um topic is the syllable. What is a syllable? And I said that is the minimal unit of pronunciation. Okay. Is um longer than a sound. It's longer than a sound. Okay. It could be shorter than a word. Okay. So, it's longer than a sound and shorter than a word. And it can stand on its own. It can merge. It can coales with other um syllables depending on the type of syllable. That is depending on whether it is monoselabic or dyelabic or tricelabic or polyelabic.

[00:11:16]Okay. So it can still can merge poles or stand on their own. For example, boy is a syllable. Okay.

[00:11:26]or male is a syllable or woman two syllables.

[00:11:33]Okay, so that's what a syllable is.

[00:11:35]We'll look at all of that and also look at the phonetic nature and also the phological nature of the syllable.

[00:11:47]How a syllable is structured phonetically and phologically.

[00:11:54]phonetically and phologically.

[00:11:58]phonetically and phologically how the syllable is structured. We'll look at that as our number one topic. Okay. So, all you need to know for now before we go into our physical classes is that a syllable is the minimal unit of pronunciation.

[00:12:20]Minimal unit of pronunciation.

[00:12:24]Minimal unit of pronunciation. I I'll be very happy if you could type that.

[00:12:30]Minimal unit minimal unit of pronunciation.

[00:12:36]Minimal unit of pronunciation.

[00:12:41]That is what a syllable is. Okay. And that is our number one topic.

[00:12:47]And most significantly we look at the structure which is the phonetic nature and the phological nature. Yeah. Thank you.

[00:13:00]You guys are active very active. Very very active. I'm impressed with this minimal unit of pronunciation. Beautiful.

[00:13:10]Good job guys. Good job. Good job. Good job. Good job. Just hit the like button.

[00:13:15]Thank you.

[00:13:17]Then number two on our list for our course content number two is what is a consonant cluster?

[00:13:30]What is a consonant cluster?

[00:13:35]Okay, of course as the word implies they cluster together. Consonants cluster together. they um they tend to combine and stay together like friends, close friends. Okay, so consonants they cluster together. That's how we come about consonant cluster. That is number two. That's going to be number two on our course outline. So type consonant clusters. Consonant clusters. So we're going to look at what consonant clusters are. Consonants don't just cluster without rules.

[00:14:18]They are guided principles that should be followed when you are merging consonants together. English phonotactic rules that will lead us to English. I know you did phonotactics at some point. Okay. No, we haven't done that. It is when we are looking at the syllable, we look at the English phonotactic rules that will help guide and structure how we combine consonants together. Good students, you're typing consonant clusters.

[00:14:49]Very very active class. I am so impressed you are marvelous. Good. Beautiful.

[00:14:56]Consonant clusters. That is number two on our course outline. We look at consonants clusters and the brief definition of a consonant cluster is the combination of two or more consonants.

[00:15:11]The combination of two or more consonants. Okay, as the name implies, the cluster together. Okay, then we have the next segment on our course outline and it is titled English sound change one. English sound change one.

[00:15:37]English sound change one. Okay. So under that heading we'll have minimal pairs.

[00:15:51]We'll have minimal pairs or minimal sets.

[00:15:57]Minimal pairs or minimal sets or minimal pairs and minimal sets.

[00:16:06]Okay. So after consonant clusters we have the next segment on our course content which is which has the subheading English sound change one English sound change one and under that we have minimal pairs minimal pairs slash minimal set can we type that please minimal pairs slash minimal set minimal pairs slash minimal set beautiful messy dewali minimal pairs and minimal sets we're going to look at that extensively and the easiest way to understand that particular topic is by giving examples examples examples and that is what you will be required to do in your examinations examples illustrating and different differentiating between minimal pairs and minimal sets. Okay, between minimal pairs and minimal sets. Can you hit the like button, please? Thank you. Minimal pairs. Beautiful. Very active class.

[00:17:26]This is impressive. Faith Muhamad, I see you guys.

[00:17:43]you all welcome. Okay. So the the we have minimal pairs and minimal sets. So try to understand these two aspect of English sound change. Why do sounds come in pairs or why the sound come in sets? It is to um prove that a a change the change of a particular sound in a word can bring about a change in meaning and to prove that sounds are meaningful.

[00:18:22]To prove that sounds are meaningful.

[00:18:24]Okay. Hence our discussion um on minimal pairs and minimal sets. Okay. So moving on we'll now go over to alophones under English sound change one. Remember we are under English sound change one and we said minimal pairs and min set.

[00:18:44]What follows is alophones/ aloponic variation.

[00:18:52]Alophones A L L O O and phones alophones A L L O and phones alophones.

[00:19:03]Okay. So if you can type that so that I can confirm that we are um all on the same page.

[00:19:15]Alophones. Okay. So after minimal pes beautiful alopphones correct that's it exactly exactly you guys are doing a great job you're doing a great job if you haven't hit the like button kindly do that as we progress alophones and aloponic variation okay so your alophones slash alophonic variation okay now alophones They are like the children of sounds or phonms.

[00:19:55]They are like the children of phonms.

[00:19:58]When you place a sound, for example, the vi the voiceless bilabial possive which is P P as in P for Peter.

[00:20:10]when you place P the voiceless alvola or the voiceless um bilabial beg pardon the voiceless bilabial plo when you place that sound in a particular position in a word the sound will change its acostic properties Okay, if you place it at the beginning of a word, it will be termed as aspirated. For example, Peter or pan.

[00:20:49]But when you place it at the end of a word, it becomes unaspirated.

[00:20:56]So the aspirated P and the unaspirated P, they are aloof of P. So we'll discuss all of these. We look at other sounds and the process by which they change by which they become different depending on where you place them in a word is called alophonic variation.

[00:21:23]It's called alophonic variation. Okay.

[00:21:28]Are we on the same page? I need you to say yes. Yes, ma'am. I need to say yes that we're on the same page.

[00:21:38]Okay. So that process is called alophonic variation. That is what that's the second thing we'll look at under English sound change one. Okay. We are all on the same page. And as we are all on the same page, I am assuming that we are all taking notes. Thank you. So moving on, we'll now move over to complimementaryary distribution.

[00:22:05]Complementary distribution.

[00:22:09]Complimentary distribution.

[00:22:13]That is the third aspect under English sound change one. That is the third aspect under English sound change one.

[00:22:24]Complementary distribution.

[00:22:29]Just type that and beautiful. I see precious has done that. Chida beautiful Janet. Yes ma'am I hear you Victor.

[00:22:42]Okay so that is the the third item under English sound change one. Okay complementary distribution. Complementary distribution.

[00:22:56]Now this says this um concept says that where you place an alophone in a word does not permit another alophone to occur in that position. So we will explain all of this. I know right now it may be sounding esoteric.

[00:23:16]Okay. But by the time we start our classes uh we are going to explain what exactly what complimentary distribution is. Okay. Where you place an alophone where an alophone occurs does not permit the use of another alophone in that phonetic environment. That is the the the nitty-gritty of what complimentary distribution is.

[00:23:45]Okay. So we look at that and beside complimentary distribution or we could say complimentary distribution versus parallel distribution versus parallel distribution.

[00:24:04]Okay, just hit the like button and remember remain in class until we've done the final class activity. Okay, hit the like button as you're coming in.

[00:24:16]Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. Okay. Then we have parallel distribution. Parallel distribution is the opposite of complimentary distribution. Okay. So in your notes you write complimentary distribution versus parallel distribution. Okay. So parallel distribution says that the occurrence or the position of an alophone in a word it permits the use of another phone not alophone this time the position of a phone in a word allows the use of another phone in that same phonetic environment.

[00:24:58]Okay, that is parallel distribution which is the opposite of complimentary distribution.

[00:25:05]200 level students are we following? I thought we'll be about a 100 here because this is a combined class.

[00:25:14]This is a combined class of both art and education. I thought we'll be able to um hit a 100 but it appears some people are still sleeping.

[00:25:25]Some people are still sleeping.

[00:25:29]Okay. So, so we have Yes. Beautiful blessing essay. Parallel distribution.

[00:25:38]Parallel distribution versus complimentary distribution. Yeah, that is the third item we will be looking at under M under um English sound change one. Okay. And what follows next? The fourth item under English sound change one.

[00:25:59]Are we on the same page? I guess we are.

[00:26:03]Yeah.

[00:26:05]Yeah. Hit the like button. Thank you.

[00:26:08]Okay. So, what follows next is what we call free variation. Free variation.

[00:26:14]That is the fourth item. That's the number four item under English sound change one. Free variation.

[00:26:24]Okay.

[00:26:26]Free variation. Free variation.

[00:26:29]Can we type free variation? Beautiful.

[00:26:32]Bella joy. Yes. Eco to favor. That's my person. Free variation. Free variation.

[00:26:42]So look at these four concepts under English sound change one. Okay. these four concepts under English sound chain one. Now the idea of free variation means that um there's a change in meaning when we get to that we will explain all of that so I don't get you confused I don't get it all mixed up so that you don't start wondering what it is but just type free variation when the use of one word um can bring about a change in meaning okay it has to do with Change in meanings.

[00:27:29]All right. Beautiful. Beautiful. Free variation st success blessing chucha Maryanne do.

[00:27:43]Yeah. If you haven't hit the like button kindly do that.

[00:27:50]Then we move over to English sound change two.

[00:27:56]English sound change two. English sound change two. We are done with English sound change one where we mentioned minimal pairs. We mentioned um complimentary distribution. Uh we mentioned minimal pairs and minimal sets. Don't forget. Then we mentioned complimentary distribution versus parallel distribution. Then we mentioned free variation. Okay. Yeah, I think that's it. Under English sound change one. Now English sound change two. Under that you can just write in brackets aspect of connected speech. Aspect of connected speech. Aspect of connected speech. That is what English sound tunes 2 is going to be all about. Aspect of connected speech.

[00:28:55]We have several aspects but we're going to focus on a few aspect. Yes.

[00:29:00]Beautiful. Oki Mirabel. Aspect of connected speech.

[00:29:05]Aspect of connected speech.

[00:29:10]Yeah, that was a very good summary.

[00:29:12]Kevin Emmanuela. Beautiful.

[00:29:16]All right.

[00:29:18]Angeline.

[00:29:21]Angeline.

[00:29:23]All right. So, we have aspects of connected speech and under that we're going to look at assimulation. One, assimulation.

[00:29:34]We're going to look at assimulation.

[00:29:37]Can you type assimulation, please?

[00:29:41]Assimilation with a double s.

[00:29:44]Assimulation.

[00:29:49]Assimulation is with the double S.

[00:29:53]Beautiful. Very active class. I love this class. Very active. Victory Chisum Maka.

[00:30:01]Oh, lovely, lovely, lovely guys.

[00:30:07]Okay. Very. Um, so we're going to be looking at assimilation.

[00:30:13]Okay.

[00:30:16]Now, as if I'm to explain assimilation.

[00:30:20]Let me explain it just very briefly and in a way that you will understand so that by the time we have a physical class, it will start to make sense to you. You know when you leave your house for example you stay in Lagos or you stay in Delta the way you behave at home will be different from the way you behave in school. Yeah. The way you behave in church will be different from the way you behave in your classroom.

[00:30:50]The way you behave in your host of course will be different from the way you behave in class. The way you behave in class will be different from the way you behave in my office.

[00:31:02]Okay? So depending on where you are, you change your behavior. You adjust to the environment.

[00:31:11]That is what assimulation is. Depending on where a sound is placed, if a sound is placed adjacent to another sound, there is a tendency for that sound to take on some features of the sound that it is placed close to.

[00:31:28]Okay, that is what assimilation is. It assimilates a sound assimilate or tends to become more like the adjacent sound.

[00:31:38]a sound tends to become more like the adjacent sound. That is what assimulation is. So when we're looking at assimulation, we'll look at progressive assimulation and we look at regressive assimilation. Okay.

[00:31:55]Progressive assimilation and regressive assimulation.

[00:32:00]Yes, beautiful Richard Mary Jane.

[00:32:02]Assimilation adjusts to the environment.

[00:32:05]Okay. to the sound that it is closest to. It tends to adjust to take on some features completely or partially.

[00:32:15]Okay? So it adjusts to the sound that is either before it or the sound that is after it. That is how we came about progressive assimilation. Good echoku and regressive assimilation.

[00:32:31]So the assimulation takes place based on the positioning of a sound beside another sound. So when we get to that stage in our physical class, we'll explain all of that. And with this my illustration um that I gave, you'll be able to understand easily what assimulation is.

[00:32:52]Now moving on, we have another aspect of connected speech which is called elion.

[00:33:01]Elion. E L I S I O N. Elion.

[00:33:08]Elion. E L I S I O N. It simply means deletion.

[00:33:15]When you delete a sound. Beautiful.

[00:33:18]Bella joy. Elion equals to deletion. When you delete a sound. Okay. So sounds get eluded.

[00:33:29]sounds get deleted in fast and connected speech. Okay, so all of these aspects they occur in fast and connected speech.

[00:33:44]Put that in mind. So assimilation occurs in fast and connected speech. Elition or deletion occurs in fast and connected speech. So when you're speaking fast some of these they occur okay some of these processes that's why they called aspects of connected speech okay we refer to them as we also refer to them as phological processes we also refer to them as phological processes okay good is when a sound is deleted Beautiful is when a sound is deleted. Elion simply means deletion if you know God's way.

[00:34:32]Excellent. Then we have um a pinthesis.

[00:34:38]A pinthesis. E pen.

[00:34:42]E pen thesis. A pinthesis. A pinthesis means in session.

[00:34:51]A pinthesis means in session. When you insert a sound in between two consonants, maybe a consonant cluster is too difficult for you to pronounce.

[00:35:05]To break up that difficult cluster, you now insert a sound. Okay? So that is called a pinthesis. Beautiful. You're spelling it beautifully. All right. That's great. A pinthesis also means insertion. Atheis equals insertion. Okay. When you break up a sound to sorry when you break up a consonant cluster that is seemingly difficult for you to pronounce like there are some of you who say instead of snake you say snake. Instead of snake you say snake. Instead of um shrine you say shrine.

[00:35:48]Okay.

[00:35:50]Okay. So that is um so we have assimilation we have elision and we have a pinthesis okay so when we talk of of that elision is when you're trying to speak very fast okay you gloss over some sounds you gloss over some sound because you you're trying to speak very fast so we have assimilation we have a we have a a pinis then we have vowel nasalization Vowel nasalization.

[00:36:24]Okay. Vowel nasalization.

[00:36:27]N A S A L I Z A T I O N. Vowel nasalization. Now vowel nasalization occurs when a vowel is placed beside a nasal consonant.

[00:36:45]Beautiful vowel nasalization. Excellent.

[00:36:49]When a vowel is placed beside a consonant, that vowel gets nasalized.

[00:36:57]That vowel automatically gets nasalized. For example, we have the word um men. Men m.

[00:37:09]So before you are done pronouncing the e sound, you are already adjusting your articul articulation or your articulus to pronouncing the nasal sound at the end of men. Can you just give me an example of a word where a vowel is close to a nasal sound? A mon a monosyabic word. And I gave an example like men, n we have be e n, we have s i n.

[00:37:44]So when a vowel is very close to a nasal consonant, that vowel gets nasalized.

[00:37:52]We'll look at we'll discuss a whole lot of this and um give a lot of examples in our physical class.

[00:38:00]Okay.

[00:38:03]Hen beautiful Richard Mary. Richard Mary has been so active. I know those that have been so active.

[00:38:10]So active. Penis deborah. Great pen. Salamatu Ahmed.

[00:38:26]All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. 10. Yes. Sharon.

[00:38:31]10.

[00:38:32]When. Beautiful. Chamaka. When?

[00:38:37]When? Ben. 10. Then. Okay. So these vowels that you are seeing beside the nasal consonant are um have undergone the process of vow nasalization.

[00:38:52]Okay. I've under the process of v nasalization.

[00:38:55]Send beautiful 10 when ben. All right.

[00:39:01]Then we have coalesence.

[00:39:04]C O A L E S C E N C E. Coalesence.

[00:39:13]Coalesence. Coalesence. C O A L E S C E N C E. Koala says beautiful. Yes, we got the pronunciation correct. Aoku to correct your pronunciation.

[00:39:33]Aoku favor. Correct your pronunciation please. Your spelling.

[00:39:40]So qualisense is when sounds qual when two two words coales okay for example when two words coales are the word boundary they just join in fast and connected speech okay so when you're speaking fast for example if I say it's nice to meet you instead of saying meet you we hear meet you meet you can I meet you okay so you are coalesing two phrases together okay it's nice to meet you okay so that's coalisence we give a whole lot of examples in our physical classes then finally we have juncture juncture juncture is when silence can bring about a change in meaning in between two phrases.

[00:40:49]Okay? At the word boundary, they can be silent or the two words can be joined together. If there is silence, there will be a difference in meaning. If they are joined together, there will be difference in meaning. So look at all of that and give examples to explain the phological process or the aspect of connected speech called juncture.

[00:41:15]Beautiful. Even without my saying write it, you're already writing it. Juncture.

[00:41:21]Juncture.

[00:41:24]Thank you all for your likes. I see you guys. You guys are excellent.

[00:41:29]Juncture. Juncture. Yes.

[00:41:37]Yes. Junction.

[00:41:40]So for example, if I say give me the newspaper boy, give me the newspaper boy.

[00:41:53]Give me the newspaper man.

[00:41:57]compared to give me the newspaper boy.

[00:42:04]So these two sentences the way I I I I stated these sentences they indicate juncture.

[00:42:12]Give me the newspaper boy. You see there's a silence between newspaper and boy. So I'm telling the boy to give me the newspaper.

[00:42:22]But when I say give me the newspaper boy meaning I I'm sending I'm telling you to bring the newspaper boy the boy that sells newspaper. So you can see how silence has brought about a change in meaning. So look at that under the process of juncture.

[00:42:41]Then one last process that we'll look at is lizone.

[00:42:46]L I A S O N.

[00:42:53]L I A S O N. Leon is a French word.

[00:43:01]O correct your correct your your spelling of juncture. OM correct your spelling of juncture.

[00:43:10]So we have less. Leys Okay. Yes. Even without my saying it, you're writing it. This is excellent.

[00:43:20]We have lesson.

[00:43:25]Leo is when you use R. Arrow. When you use arrow to connect two words together.

[00:43:34]either that one of the word the arrow is already present or you take the arrow from somewhere else and bring it in between two words and join them together. That is lison. For example, the day is bright. Day is bright. In fast and connected speech, you are most likely to hear day is bright. The day is bright is bright and fair. You know that song, the day is bright.

[00:44:04]So that you can see that we have inserted an arrow there.

[00:44:10]Okay.

[00:44:12]Here and there. Here and there. So you're most likely to hear here and there in fast and connected speech.

[00:44:20]Okay. Jeffrey, we are looking at leong.

[00:44:23]That's what I'm trying to explain. Leon.

[00:44:26]Okay. We're looking at le.

[00:44:29]So, so far I have mentioned under English sound change two. Under English sound change two I have mentioned assimilation. I have mentioned elision.

[00:44:43]I've mentioned insertion.

[00:44:46]I've mentioned leison vow nasalization coalescent and juncture. So we are going to look at one two three four five six seven eight. We're going to look at these eight aspects of connected speech.

[00:45:04]I hope you got all of them right.

[00:45:09]Yeah, Victor. Beautiful. Yes, we use R.

[00:45:12]Either the arrow is present in the word or we just borrow it from somewhere else from market or from market and insert it and connect those two words together in fasting connected speech. Okay. So we have these eight um processes. We have these eight aspects of connected speech that we'll be looking and be discussing during our physical class. Okay. We have these eight aspects of connected speech.

[00:45:40]Assimulation elion insertion len nasalization coalence and juncture. Now why these aspects of connected speech is crucial in this semester is because by the time you're in 300 level and we are doing deep phonological analysis, we will be um looking at the rules that are used to state these processes and they are called phological rules. They are called phological rules.

[00:46:17]So we'll be looking at the rules that are used to explain these processes in terms of mathematical symbols in terms of mathematical symbols. That's what you do at 300 level. That is why you must have a very good understanding of these aspect of connected speech.
