About this title

Synopsis

Speaking a second language creates problems of mispronouncing segmental and non-segmental sound features of the language. This book ascertains the restrictions on the proper use of the English intonation in a second language situation and implications thereof for intelligible communication. Various factors working compositely to create misnomer in correct pronunciation of English sound melody are identified as negative transfer phenomenon, a group of scholars' dissuasion in teaching the suprasegmentals, nonchalant attitude of learners to learn and practise as well as the absence of media[language laboratories, teaching machines as computers, etc,] in many tertiary institutions. Speakers of English are therefore ignorant about the English tune patterns and so the semantic suggestions of the tunes are minimally realised or are lost entirely.This work comes as a vade mecum for those who want to make their spoken English endearing.
