1、英语语音基础知识一关于语音的几个概念 1 字母：语言的书写形式。元音字母 a, e, i(y), o, u, 2 音标：词的语音形式。 3 音素：音的最小的单位。英语中有 48 音素，分为元音音素和辅音音素两大类。其中元音音素 20 个，辅音音素 28 个。元音：发音时声带振动，呼出的气流通过口腔时不受阻碍，这样形成的语音称作元音。元音发音响亮，口腔中气流不受阻碍，是构成音节的主要音。英语中有 20 个元音。 辅音：不论声带振动与否，发声时呼出的气流通过口腔或鼻腔时受到一定阻碍，这样的语音称为辅音。辅音发音不响亮，口腔中气流受到阻碍，不是构成音节的主要音。英语中有28 个辅音。 （其中包括ts
2、、dz、tr、dr） 。 4 音节：由元音和辅音构成的发音单位。apple, student, teacher, understand 5 开音节：a) 辅音+ 元音+辅音+e name， bike ; b) 辅音+元音 he, go, hi 6 闭音节：a) 辅音+ 元音+辅音 bad, , sit, hot, cup; b)元音+辅音 it 7 重读音节：单词中发音特别响亮的音节。 二. 元音： i: sea, he, see, piece, ceiling i sit, build, miss, mythe bed, desk, head bad, land, bank, stampa:

8、连贯地说话或朗读时,在同一个意群(即短语或从句) 中,如果相邻的两个词前者以辅音音素结尾,后者以元音音素开头,就要自然地将辅音和元音相拼,构成一个音节,这就是连读。连读时的音节一般不重读,只需顺其自然地一带而过,不可以加音,也不可以读得太重。如:not at all 这个短语。连读时听起来就像是一个单词。注意 :连读只发生在句子中的同一个意群中。在两个意群之间即使有两个相邻的辅音和元音出现,也不可连读。如:Please take a look at it.这个句子中 take a look at it 是同一个意群 ,那么 take 与 a 可连读,look 与 at 可连读,at 与 it
9、可连读。其中最常见的是连音 r， 即拼写中一个词尾不发音的字母 r，碰到后一个词的词首是元音， 将 r 与后面的元音连读。如；here are；four eggs；在 There is a book in it.一句中 There 和 is 连读，book 与 in 往往不连读,因为 book 与 in 分别在两个不同的意群中。Eg：not at all, half an hour, I love you and all， after all 2.失去爆破：所谓失爆（或者爆破） ，是指当p，b，t，d，k ，连贯出现在同一单词内部或连贯出现在前一单词结尾与后一单词开头，有前一个要嘎然而止，只做
10、口型不发其音。如黑板，blackboard. blackboard 中k失爆了，因为它后面的b也是爆破音。sit down - si(t)down,似乎听不到任何人会把 sit 的t 音完完整整地发出来,这个音几乎必然地永远失去。Eg：good girl, good student, good job 中的d失去爆破，只做口型不发其音。3.音的同化： 当两个音放在一起时会有同化现象产生。如：would you 中d和j 读成dCant you see it? 中 t和j 读成t Miss you 中 s和j 读成 八. 重音 1.单词重音 A)双音节词 a)一般在第一个音节重读。letter,
