Enunciating English ProperlySts. Jude imPress, 2004 - Всего страниц: 49 This monograph aims at teaching immigrants and local-accent citizens how to pronounce the written word properly, using, at times. famous speeches and humorous instances. It sets three simple rules: start each [non-first] syllable with a consonant; if there are two consonants, end the syllable with one and begin the next with the second; be sure to pronounce - but not emphasize - each word's final consonant. Exceptions to the rules are found to have their roots in ancient languages whose double consonant sounds are now written with single English letters so as to hold our alphabet to 26 letters. This is demonstrated by scrolling out ancient alphabets from 1450 BC to 1600 AD. |

Стр. 40 - That patient merit of the unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin ? who would fardels * bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscover'd country from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will, And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of?
Стр. 24 - France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills ; we shall never surrender.
Стр. 25 - With spectacles on nose and pouch on side, His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank ; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
Стр. 24 - All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players : They have their exits, and their entrances ; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms : Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel, And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school : and then, the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress
Стр. 25 - With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and...

Стр. 24 - Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.
Стр. 25 - Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon...
