“…Speech perception is not only closely linked to the speaker's pronunciation of utterances but also to the listener's cognitive psychology (Clark & Yallop, 1995). Catford (1950) discusses two types of context that might, possibly, increase or decrease speech understanding thresholds: linguistic and situational.…”

Teachers' understanding of the process of speech perception could inform practice in listening classrooms. Catford (1950) developed a model for speech perception taking into account the influence of the acoustic features of the linguistic forms used by the speaker, whereby the listener 'identifies' and 'interprets' these linguistic forms based on the association between them and the context of speech. This paper critically reviews Catford's model and proposes an alternative one distinguishing between two levels of perceiving speech: word recognition and utterance comprehension. Smith and Nelson (1985) refer to these as 'intelligibility' and 'comprehensibility', respectively. The proposed model could inform classroom practice as well as curriculum and material design.

“…Stress and intonation in English are part of suprasegmental features. Clark, Yallop and Fletcher (2007) inform that suprasegmentals can be refered as prosodic features or nonsegmental features. They are features of spoken language such as pitch, rhythm, and tempo which are not easily identified as discrete segments.…”

Abstract. The objective of this research is to know the technique and activity in teaching English pronunciation on suprasegmental features (intonation and stress). This research uses qualitative approach with descriptive method. The subject of this research is 6 students from English education department. Technique of collecting data by doing observation, interview and documentation. The results showed In teaching English pronunciation for suprasegmental features is very concerned about the how to teach students, give materials and do exercises. There are some materials that are taught to improve students' ability in stress words of English sentences. Students learnt combination of words adjectives and nouns are generally stressed is in the first, students are taught about the prefix, learnt about words with suffixes and students were also given exercise with compound words. Furthermore, in teaching intonation, students are also given understanding and practicing the reading text, analyzing and pronouncing the English word in accordance with the correct intonation. The impact, students understand how to use rising and falling intonation.

“…The formant transitions in the vowel off-and onset bordering a consonant, especially of the F 2 , are both sensitive to coarticulation and are important cues for consonant identification [3,9]. To quantify the extent of acoustic coarticulation we determined the difference between the F 2 slopes at the CV-and the VCboundaries (i.e., the F 2 slope difference).…”

“…Vowel reduction is a well-established phenomenon that has found its place in phonetics textbooks [3,9]. Briefly summarized, vowels are pronounced more "sloppily" and with less distinction when speaking style is informal, or when the vowels are part of unstressed syllables.…”

Vowel reduction has been studied for years. It is a universal phenomenon that reduces the distinction of vowels in informal speech and unstressed syllables. How consonants behave in situations where vowels are reduced is much less well known. In this paper we compare durational and spectral data (for both intervocalic consonants and vowels) segmented from read speech with otherwise identical segments from spontaneous speech. On a global level, it shows that consonants reduce like vowels when the speaking style becomes informal. On a more detailed level there are differences related to the type of the consonant.
