In the introduction the anonymous writer opines:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Pronunciation only becomes a problem when it causes a <span style="color: green;"><i>breakdown in communication</i></span> between you and the people you’re talking with. Perfecting your English pronunciation is about making yourself understood.</blockquote>
Well, I don't quite agree because incomprensibility is not the only problem; aesthetics is another one. If you as a non-native speaker aim high, you want your accent to sound pleasant; the listener should not be distracted from the contents because you frequently replace<br />
- the dental fricatives by /s, z/ or by<br />
- d/;<br />
replace<br />
- /v/ by /w/<br />
- word-final voiced obstruents by their voiceless counterparts;<br />
use<br />
- clear l throughout<br />
etc.<br />
So, yes, a bad pronunciation may lead to incomprehensible speech, but it may also distract the listener.Krauthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11932831673529849848noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382369381372118960.post-67618359774152905992018-03-05T07:00:00.000+00:002018-03-05T08:51:08.753+00:00Proverbs transcribed - #6Twenty-six English first-graders were presented with the first half of
