This cartoon shows an elderly woman visiting the doctor. The doctor is telling her to lift both feet so he can examine her, but she is only lifting one foot. This simple misunderstanding creates humor in three ways. First, the woman thinks the doctor only wants to see one foot, so she obediently lifts only that foot, missing the cue that he wants to see both. Second, the doctor has to repeat himself and specify "the other foot too" to clarify, highlighting the comedic gap in their communication. Third, the cartoon plays on the stereotype of elderly patients sometimes being a little hard of hearing or not quite following instructions precisely.

This document discusses the difference between active and passive voice in sentences. Active voice has the subject performing the action of the verb, while passive voice has the subject receiving the action of the verb. Active voice is generally clearer and easier to understand than passive voice. However, passive voice can be used when the receiver of the action is more important than the subject, when minimizing the role of the subject, or when writing about scientific or natural processes. Knowing the difference between active and passive voice helps writers determine the best structure to use.
The document discusses the differences between active and passive voice in sentences. It provides examples of changing sentences from active to passive voice by making the object the subject and adding "be" verbs and "by" phrases. The rules covered include how to change various tenses like simple present, past, future. Yes/no and wh- questions are also discussed and examples shown of changing them to passive voice. Imperative and "let" structures are addressed as well.
This document defines and differentiates between the active and passive voices. It states that the active voice is more common and has the subject performing the action on the object. The passive voice has the object as the subject receiving the action. It provides examples of converting between active and passive sentences by changing which element is the subject and object.
This document provides an overview of meiosis and sexual life cycles by discussing:
- The transmission of traits from parents to offspring through inheritance of genes and chromosomes.

Stress is an important feature of English pronunciation. A stressed syllable is pronounced with more force or prominence compared to unstressed syllables. There are different levels of stress - primary, secondary, tertiary. Word stress refers to emphasizing a particular syllable within a word, while sentence stress emphasizes certain words for meaning. The placement of stress depends on factors like the type of word, number of syllables, and presence of affixes or compounds. Stress helps distinguish words and meanings in English.

The most common vowel in weak syllables is schwa, represented as /ÉTM/. Other vowels found in weak syllables include a close front vowel similar to /i/ and a close back vowel similar to /u/. These vowels are difficult to distinguish from their strong counterparts /i:/ and /u:/. Spellings can provide clues as to which vowel would be present if the syllable was strong. Weak syllables tend to have shorter, less intense vowels compared to strong syllables.
This document defines and provides examples of various literary devices used in poetry:
- Word stress refers to prominent syllables in words like "PHOTOgraph".
- Rhyme is the repetition of similar sounding words at the end of lines, like "wool" and "full".
- Alliteration is the repetition of beginning consonant sounds, like "Sally sells seashells".
- Onomatopoeia uses words that imitate sounds, such as "buzz" for bees.
- Assonance repeats vowel sounds within words, while consonance repeats consonant sounds.
- Imagery appeals to the senses through descriptive language.
GR 4 Unit 1 Reading Foundation Syllables-2.pptDonitaInmenzo1
The document discusses different types of syllables including closed syllables, open syllables, vowel team syllables, r-controlled syllables, and consonant-le syllables. It provides examples of words that demonstrate each syllable type and instructs readers to use their knowledge of syllable types to decode unfamiliar multi-syllabic words. Readers are given a quick quiz to test their understanding of r-controlled syllables.
This document provides information about using context clues to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words. It defines different types of context clues like definition, synonym, restatement, contrast, explanation, example, and inference. Examples are given for each type of context clue to illustrate how to use the surrounding words to infer the meaning of an unknown word. The document also notes some limitations of relying solely on context clues for a full definition.
The document outlines the agenda for an ELIT 17 Class 3, which includes a lecture on Shakespeare's language and a discussion of The Comedy of Errors. It provides context on rhyme schemes, new words Shakespeare created, contractions and syntax used in his works. It also includes exercises having students read and discuss passages from the play, addressing themes of identity, deception and the role of servants. Students are assigned a recitation of either a sonnet or soliloquy from Shakespeare's works.

This document summarizes the topics to be covered in a phonetics class, including how sounds can be produced incorrectly, children's covert contrasts in phonological development, and case studies of instrumental analyses of child speech. It discusses how children may produce contrasts that are not perceived by adult listeners through immature or inappropriate cues, but which acoustic analyses show are distinct, suggesting a secret developmental period not accessible through typical transcription.
Class 10 emerson_phonetics_fall2014_artic_review_accents_native_foreignLisa Lavoie
This document contains notes from a phonetics class. It outlines the day's plan, which includes reviewing articulation, discussing upcoming assessments, and beginning a discussion of accents and variation. It also lists topics to be covered in an in-class review, including phonetic transcription, vowels, consonants, and accents. Examples of native and foreign accents are provided for students to analyze. The document provides resources for further studying accents and outlines plans to discuss foreign accent variation.
Class 09 emerson_phonetics_fall2014_phonemes_allophones_vot_epgLisa Lavoie
The document discusses phonetics and phonemes. It reviews vowel and consonant articulation, demonstrates static and dynamic palatography techniques to visualize tongue placement, and explores the concepts of phonemes and allophones. Voice onset time is examined as a way to understand voicing contrasts in stops. Languages like English, Thai, and Hindi are shown to implement different numbers of voicing contrasts through varying voice onset time categories.
Class 06 emerson_phonetics_fall2014_intro_to_linguistics_clinical_phxLisa Lavoie
This document provides an overview of a phonetics class. It discusses the course structure, which is divided into broad transcription, articulation, and narrow transcription. It then covers linguistics concepts like phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics. Key areas of linguistics are defined, such as language form, meaning, and context. Examples are provided to illustrate phonological rules, morphological processes, syntactic structures, semantic ambiguity and pragmatic context dependence.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the creation of images and videos, enabling the generation of highly realistic and imaginative visual content. Utilizing advanced techniques like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and neural style transfer, AI can transform simple sketches into detailed artwork or blend various styles into unique visual masterpieces. GANs, in particular, function by pitting two neural networks against each other, resulting in the production of remarkably lifelike images. AI's ability to analyze and learn from vast datasets allows it to create visuals that not only mimic human creativity but also push the boundaries of artistic expression, making it a powerful tool in digital media and entertainment industries.

Quick Write
What do you already know about
syllables?
Types of syllables
Defining syllable
What’s a syllable good for?
31. Literary devices with vowels
Assonance (review)
Repeat vowels in nearby words; can be
subtle and hard to spot
Without looking back, can you remember
any of the assonant lines from last week?
Regular old rhyme
Depends on syllable shape/structure
Leading us into SYLLABLE STRUCTURE
32. Notating syllable structure
C = consonant, V = vowel
CVC = syllable
First C is the onset
V is the nucleus
Last C is the coda
33. Parts of a syllable
Elements in (parens) are optional
Syllable σ = (onset) + rime
Rime = nucleus + (coda)
34. Types of syllables
Open syllables
CV — no coda
Closed syllables
CVC —coda C “closes” the syllable
These types can describe the kinds of
syllables someone produces
35. What do we have in English?
What kinds of syllables allowed?
Open? Closed?
How about clusters of consonants in
onset or coda position?
What clusters does English allow?
What’s our smallest allowable word?
36. English consonant clusters
Longest possible initial cluster is CCC
split /splɪt/ and strudel /ʃtrudəl/, beginning with /s/
or /ʃ/ and ending with /l/ or /r/
Longest possible final cluster is CCCCC
angsts /æŋksts/, though rare
Four final consonants are fairly common:
twelfths /twɛlfθs/, sixths /sɪksθs/, glimpsed
/ɡlɪmpst/
37. Exploring syllable structure
English is relatively rich in consonant clusters
As opposed to Japanese, Hawaiian, Maori
Which don’t allow any consonant clusters (except
Japanese clusters with j)
Or compared to Georgian CCCCCCCCVC
/ɡvbrdɣvnis/ he's plucking us
Allowed syllable patterns are part of a
language’s phonology
38. Literary devices with consonants
Alliteration
Repeat initial consonants of words
Often found in tongue twisters with slight
variation (shine my city shoes)
Headlines in less reputable news outlets
Consonance
Repeat the final consonants of words
39. Alliterative verse
Noble English tradition, it’s ONSETS
Beowulf (Old English)
Moors and marshes; Woe-stricken warriors
Sir Gawain & the Green Knight (Middle Eng.)
The hair of his head matched that of his horse
Fair-flowing locks enfolded his shoulders
A beard as big as a bush hung over his breast
40. Beowulf: Grappling with Grendel
Cunningly creeping, a spectral stalker
slunk through the night. The spearmen were
sleeping who ought to have held the high-horned
house, all except one …
no more would the murderer drag under
darkness whomever he wished.
Wrath was wakeful, watching in hatred; hot-hearted
Beowulf was bent upon battle.
41. More alliterative verse
Richard Wilbur’s poem Junk opens with:
An axe angles from my neighbor's ashcan;
It is hell's handiwork, the wood not hickory.
The flow of the grain not faithfully followed.
The shivered shaft rises from a shellheap
Of plastic playthings, paper plates.

movement In threatening thrust. Third
Division Enlarges beachhead. Lucky
charm Saves sniper. Sabotage hinted In
steel-mill stoppage…
44. Consonance in poetry
Boneyard Rap
Final consonants kind of clink around
This poetry manipulates CODAS

singlePoem.do?poemId=382
45. Sibilance
Special kind of consonance, using the
sibilant consonants: s, ʃ, z, ʒ
Sibilants have a hissing sound; can
create a mood
Sibilants stand out “shhhh!” “pssst!”
The serpent hisses where the sweet bird
sings - Thomas Hardy
46. More sibilance
And the silken sad uncertain rustling of
each purple curtain. (“The Raven”)
“… I guess
How you miss the English spring, the way
A shower-cloud over a hillside spills
Between sunlight and sunlight, slowly…”
From Ted Walker’s “Letter to Barbados”

Transcribe it and then say it
“Many an anemone is an enemy
anemone”
A business in my home town:
“A cappella alpacas”

We pull examples from everywhere because I
hope that we can keep class interesting
