语音的基本常识
1. 关于语音的几个概念
1. 1) 字母：语言的书写形式。元音字母a, e, i(y), o, u,
2) 音标：词的语音形式。
3) 音素：音的最小的单位。英语中有48音素。
4) 音节：由元音和辅音构成的发音单位。ap'ple, stu'dent, tea'cher, un'der'stand
5) 元音：发音响亮，是乐音；口腔中气流不收阻碍；是构成音节的主要音。英语中有20元音。
6) 辅音：发音不响亮，是噪音；口腔中气流受到阻碍；不是构成音节的主要音。英语中有28辅音。
7) 开音节：a) 辅音+元音+辅音+e name bike home due; b) 辅音+元音 he, go, hi 8) 闭音节：a) 辅音+元音+辅音 bad, bed, sit, hot, cup; b)元音+辅音it 9) 重读音节：单词中发音特别响亮的音节。 2. 读音规则
1) 重读音节(见元音和辅音的例句)
2) 非重读音节 [ ] banana, student, today, after, [i] orange, secret, evening, very, Monday 3. 特殊读音
1）音的连读：前面的词以元辅音结尾，后面的单词以元音开头，这样结尾的辅音要和开头的元音连读。例如：not at all, half an hour, I love you and all. after all
2）失去爆破：辅音爆破音或摩擦音后面跟的是爆破音、破擦音和摩擦等，前面的辅音要失去爆破。例如：good girl, good student, good job, expression, school, extreme 3）音的同化：两个特殊的音碰到一起，会发出变异成特殊的音。例如：Would you do it? I am glad to meet you. Can't you see it? last year, this year, 4）浊化音
以sp__, st___, sk___开头的单词清辅音/p/ /t/ /k/分别要发浊辅音/b/ /d/ /g/。
4. 重音 1)单词重音 A)双音节词
