PACE WORK 13/10/20

 

Тема:Сполучення приголосних.

Teacher: We’re going to learn consonant clusters. In linguistics, a consonant cluster or consonant blend is a group of consonants which have no intervening vowel. In English, for example, the groups /spl/ and /ts/ are consonant clusters in the word splits.

In English, the longest possible initial cluster is three consonants, as  in split /ˈsplɪt/ and strudel /ˈʃtruːdəl/, all beginning with /s/ or /ʃ/ and ending with /l/ or /r/; the longest possible final clusteris five consonants, as in angsts /ˈæŋksts/ and in the Yorkshire place-name of Hampsthwaite /hæmpsθweɪt/, though that is rare and four, as in twelfths /ˈtwɛlfθs/, sixths /ˈsɪksθs/, bursts /ˈbɜrsts/ and glimpsed /ˈɡlɪmpst/, is more common. In compound words, longer clusters are possible, as in handspring /ˈhændspriŋ/.

However, it is important to distinguish clusters and digraphs. Clusters are made of two or more consonant sounds, while a digraph is a group of two consonant letters standing for a single sound. For example, in the word ship, the two letters of the digraph sh together represent the single consonant [ʃ]. Conversely, the letter x can produce the consonant clusters /ks/ (annex), /gz/ (exist), /kʃ/ (sexual), or /gʒ/ (some pronunciations of "luxury".). Also note a combination digraph and cluster as seen in length with two digraphs ng, th representing a cluster of two consonants: /ŋθ/; lights with a silent digraph gh followed by a cluster t, s: /ts/; and compound words such as sightscreen /ˈsaɪtskriːn/ or catchphrase /ˈkætʃfreɪz/.

4.3. Reading

Pre-reading:

Teacher: What do you know about printing?

While-reading:

Teacher:  Read the text on the topic.

Gutenberg

If you are reading this right now, you are taking part in the wonder of literacy. Because of printed words, people can relay information across both time and space. Ideas are encoded in writing and transmitted to readers across thousands of miles and years. Because of this development, the words of people distant to us can influence events, impart knowledge, and change the world. Much of the credit for the development of this phenomenon can be attributed to one man.

 Post-reading: After reading you try to guess the invention the text was about.

 

  Thank you for the lesson, have a nice day!
