Stress time
Introduction
Stress Time consists of 50 dialogues, suitable for upper-intermediate and
advanced learners, in which the main rhythmical patterns of spoken English are
presented first individually, then in pairs, then in larger combinations. The
dialogues are dramatic, and can be used for listening comprehension at the same
time as giving pronunciation practice.
The rhythm of English
English is a 'stress-timed' language. That is to say the beats or stress
pulses in connected speech follow each other at roughly equal intervals of time:
One Two
Three
Four
This means that if there are any unstressed syllables between stresses, these
have to be fitted in without delaying the regular beat of the stress pulses (printed in
bold type throughout):
One
Two
Three
Four
One and Two
and
Three and Four
One and a Two
and a
Three and a
Four
One and then a
Two
and then a Three- and then a Four
The more unstressed syllables there are after a stress, the quicker they must be said
in order to' catch' the next pulse :
