Exercise three: Here is a simple exercise to help you develop the art of using emphatic stress
Sentence with emphatic (contrastive) stress Transcription & Suggested meaning I didn’t say he stole the money …………………..……………………………. I didn’t say he stole the money …………………..……………………………. I didn’t say he stole the money …………………..……………………………. I didn’t say he stole the money …………………..……………………………. I didn’t say he stole the money …………………..…………………………….

5. I said she might consider a new haircut 2→e) Don’t you understand me?
6. I said she might consider a new haircut 3→f) Not another person.
7. I said she might consider a new haircut 6→g) She should have think about it, it’s a good idea.
Exercise four: Transcribe the following short passage and mark the primary stress when necessary
1- I can1 do it. Can
1 you? / kæn│ kæn ju /

/ əz ləz jəstdi │ jə fel eni /
9- What’s5 his
6 name? His name is John. / wts nem │ hz nem z /
1 CAN in this context is contrastively/emphatically stressed /kæn/ .
2 AT is pronounced with strong form /æt/ when it comes in final position though it remains unstressed.
3 THAT is always unstressed wherein we use the strong form /ðæt/ as a demonstrative but weak form /ðət/ as a conjunction.
4 WON’T auxiliary verbs and modals are used in strong form when they’re negative contracted form (isn’t, aren’t, wasn’t,
weren’t, can’t, couldn’t, wouldn’t, don’t, haven’t, hasn’t, mustn’t, shan’t, shouldn’t) 5 SHE’S in contractions we use the strong form and weak forms ( We’re, I’ll, he’ll, she’ll, there’ll, I’ve, you’ve, I’d, we’d, who’s)
6 HIS here the initial /h/ is usually dropped (his, he, her, has, have, who) but /h/ is kept at the beginning of a sentence or emphatic
