Task 1. Write 4 main aspects of PHONETICS and match them with the paragraphs below.

1 ARTICULATORY PHONETICS 

investigates  the  functioning  of  one’s  speech apparatus and mechanism. It is based on profound knowledge of physiology and the structure of one’s speech apparatus. While investigating the articulatory aspect of speech sounds both subjective and objective methods are employed: the method of direct observation (concerning the lips & the tongue movements)  –  subjective method and X-ray photography and X-ray cinematography (objective methods). 

2. ACOUSTIC PHONETICS

studies  the  acoustic  properties  of  sounds (quantity,  timber/voice  quality,  intensity,  the  pitch  of  the  voice  and  temporal factor)  in  terms  of  the  frequency  of  vibration  and  the  amplitude  of  vibration  in relation  to  time.  The  analysis  begins  with  a  microphone,  which  converts  the  airmovement into corresponding electrical activity. While investigating the acoustic aspect of speech sounds special laboratory equipment is employed: spectrograph, intonograph, sound analyzing & sound synthesizing machines. 

3 AUDITORY PHONETICS 

is  aimed  at  investigating  the  hearing process which is the brain activity. Auditory Phonetics and Acoustic Phonetics are very closely connected. 

4 FUNCTIONAL PHONETICS

presupposes  investigating  the discriminatory (distinctive) function of speech sounds. 

2. Read the statements below  and choose whether they are True or False. 

1.  Vowels are not stressed syllables in compared languages. FALSE

2.  Two types of stress are distinguished in compared languages. TRUE

3.  Sentence  stress  is  a  feature  of  the  phonetic  structure  of  a  word  as  a vocabulary unit. FALSE

4.  The morphological stress exists only in Uzbek. FALSE

5.  'Olma (a noun) "apple" TRUE

6.  Stress is free in English. FALSE

7.  In English stress moves when suffixes are added. FALSE

8.  4 degrees of stress exist in Uzbek. FALSE

9.  Stress  does  not  have  word-distinctive  and  form -distinctive  functions  in Uzbek. FALSE

10.  'present-noun. TRUE
