Hi Jane! Best regards from Argentina! I´m taking a Diploma on Phonetics and just came across this amazing class of yours. It´s been so clarifyning and helpful. Thanks a lot for sharing!!
Hello!!! How are you?. My name is Mariana and I´m from Argentina. I´m studying in a teaching training college to become an English teacher. My professor of Phonetics gave us O´Connor to read about Intonation (chapter 1) but I did not understand anything. Neither the book nor the explanation. Fortunately, I found you in this magistral class and understood a lot. Thank you very much for sharing this!!!. You are very sweet 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
A big thank you Professor. It is amazing how could simplify Perter Roach's text. Can you kindly do the other two units from the same book on intonation. They are five units. We are eternally grateful to you.
In " `Why did you go", the tail is low, but the pitch on it does not stay flat but displays a drop as soon as a syllable ("go" in your example) is stressed. My contention is that regardless of how many syllables one uses in the tail, if it is uttered at low level, low drops should show up precisely at positions of rhythmic stress. This means that although the overall pitch profile for the tail appears to be flat and low, individual rhythmically stressed syllables will each show a slight drop in pitch. Try to say " `videoconferencing" using your pitch tracking machine, the tonic syllable "vi" should carry most of the downward pitch movement but the tail, consisting of the six syllables di+ o+ con+ fe+ ren+cing: should display a brief drop in pitch at "con", because it carries a rhythmic stress.
You are right about the actual pitch / f0 movement but, in terms of intonational phonology, we describe this pattern as having a fall on the nucleus followed by a low level tail.
it is a good video. Also we need an intonation video about "parenthetical clauses" and "comment clauses" at the initial, middle and end of utterance/sentence
Thank you! This is very useful. Do you have plans to add more videos? I hope so, because you present the information clearly and make it much more accessible.
Thank you very much, Stephen. There are three of these videos in a playlist - have you see the others? The playlist starts here: th-cam.com/video/kIAmqXF6bBE/w-d-xo.html
@@DrJaneSetter Are there any online courses at Reading Univ? I teach English as a foreign language and I am doing some studies in Phonetics and Phonology in my country, Argentina.
@@andrearominastrigencz7370 Sadly not. But there is the UCL Summer Course in English Phonetics in August every year, which is being run online again in 2022: www.ucl.ac.uk/pals/study/continuing-professional-development/summer-course-english-phonetics-vscep-2022
Thank you very much, Professor Setter. I am dealing with Stress, Rhythm & Intonation patterns in my Foundation Teacher training Course and one of the students had problems with "tone units". If I may, I'd like to use this 3rd part to help her.
I'm sitting an exam in phonetics and phonology next week. If I manage to get a pass mark it'll be greatly thanks to you. Greetings from Córdoba, Argentina :)
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!! Your explanation has been really useful as I´m studying to be a teacher of English in Argentina and Roach is a bit confusing...
@@DrJaneSetter Hi, Jane ad Ire! I'm also taking a Teaching Training Course in Patagonia, Argentina. You are so clear, Jane! I watched your videos to complement Paul Tench's book about the intonation system of English, but I must say you made things much simpler to understand! THANKS!!!!
Hi professor. I absolutely love your course! Super helpful! And I was just wondering if you could let me know the name of the software you used to demonstrate the changes of the pitch? I mean the one which could do this when you record certain words? Thank you so much !
Do you mean the one with the green line on the black background? It’s RT Pitch. Link in the description. It’s only available as a program for Windows computers but there’s an online version accessible at the same link.
Hello Professor. I've watched the three amazing videos about intonation, and I've read several materials including Roach and Ladefoged's books, but I'm still a bit confused about the difference between 'tone' and 'intonation'. I’d really appreciate it if you could kindly let me know if my understanding about tone and intonation is correct:) Roughly speaking, is it correct to say: 1.If pitch change is manipulated at the level of the word or syllable to make completely different meanings, it is called tone, but if it is manipulated above the level of the word (phrases and sentences), it's called intonation. 2.Also, intonation actually includes three parts: 1) Phrasing; 2) to identify the nucleus (also called tonic syllable); 3) to identify the nucleus tone. On top of that, is it correct to say that tonic syllable is normally the last stressed syllable in an tone unit (also called the intonational phrase)? Thank you so much!
First of all you are soooo amazing you explanation is obvious , and can you answer my question plz (What is the difference between tonic syllable and tone unit )
Thank you! This is the third of three lectures, so you need to go back to the first one for the definition of tonic syllable and tone unit. OK? The playlist starts here: th-cam.com/video/kIAmqXF6bBE/w-d-xo.html
Hi. I don't know if you're still on this channel, but if you are, can you please inform me with the name of the application you used to analyze the tone?
Do you mean the one with the green line on the black background? It’s RT Pitch. Link in the description. It’s only available as a program for Windows computers but there’s an online version accessible at the same link.
I don't really understand the question, Yalda. The tonic syllable is one syllable and tone units can be one syllable, but are usually longer. Does that answer the question?

10:17 Phoneticians are a funny species. Their analysis includes a head, a tail, and even a pre-head, but without a body!

why? is peter cockroach's books that inhumane?
U r a superior lecturer to others
Could you please recommend me a beneficial book related to Phonetics ?

Thank you, Stephen. There are other videos but they are accessible to students on our modules only, studying at Reading.

Could you post video clips on the other chapters of the book?
Hi Jane! I'm really happy to come across this amazing channel. In fact I've a number of questions and I hope that you can help me please 🙏
My questions are concerning intonation

Is there a task sheet with corrections made available anywhere for practice?
There is, but it is for my students and involves practical class-based exercises. I'm afraid I can't make it available.
Are all utterence you one syllable unit based on what ?how ?can you tell me excusme
I don't really understand the question, Yalda. The tonic syllable is one syllable and tone units can be one syllable, but are usually longer. Does that answer the question?
@@DrJaneSetter thanks alot yes I understood well done
