Section 1
Organs of Articulation and Their Functions
To understand how speech sounds are produced one must have some knowledge of the organs of articulation (= organs of speech) and their work.
The organs of speech are divided into 2 groups: active and passive. Active organs of articulation are movable; they change their position when we speak. They are as follows: the lungs providing air for sounds; b) the vocal cords which produce voice; c) the tongue which is the most flexible organ of articulation (it can move in the horizontal or vertical directions and change its shape which influences the sound quality); d) the lips af- fecting very considerably the shape of the mouth cavity as they can take various positions (they can be pressed firmly together or kept apart, neu­tral, rounded or protruded); e) the soft palate with the uvula which directs the air stream either to the mouth or to the nasal cavity; f) the lower jaw regulating the gap between the upper and lower teeth.
Passive organs of speech (the teeth, the teeth / alveolar ridge, the hard palate, the walls of the resonators ( i.e. the mouth and the nasal cavities) do not move – they just form an obstruction for the air
stream and serve as points of articulation.
12
The sounds are produced in the following way. The air stream passes from the lungs into the windpipe, then it comes to the larynx containing the vocal cords. The vocal cords are two elastic folds with the opening between them (called the glottis). They may be kept apart or brought together. If the tense vocal cords are brought together, the air stream is forced between them and makes them vibrate. In this way voiced sounds are produced. When the vocal cords are kept apart, voiceless sounds are produced, as the air stream passes between them freely and no vibration is felt. There is one more state of the vocal cords which results in the glottal stop, a kind of ‘click’ (a ‘coughing’ sound). The glottal stop is produced when the vocal cords are brought together and then opened suddenly by the air stream. On coming out of the lar­ynx the air stream passes through the pharynx and then goes either through the nasal or mouth cavity (it depends on the position of the soft palate). The soft palate with the uvula can move. If it is lowered, the air passes through the nose and nasal sounds are produced. If it is raised and contacts the back wall of the pharyngal cavity, the air stream is di­rected into the mouth giving rise to oral sounds.
Being aware of the process of sound formation and production will help a learner to better understand the principles according to which the sounds are classified.

Актуальность темы обусловлена статусом фонетики как осново­полагающего аспекта языка, без которого невозможно реализовать ре­чевое высказывание и сформировать иноязычную компетенцию.
Section 1
Components of Pronunciation. RP
Phonetics as a science studies: 1) speech sounds; 2) the syllable structure of words; 3) word stress; 4) intonation (prosody). These 4 components constitute what is called the pronunciation of English.
The course is based on the type of English pronunciation which is known as “Received Pronunciation” (RP). This ‘prestige’ accent is associated with respectable sociable standing and a good education. It can be found anywhere in Great Britain and tells us only about a per­son’s social or educational background. It is a regionally ‘neutral’ ac­cent that is why it is more widely understood than any regional variant of English. In the 1920s the BBC adopted RP, and it is still the standard accent of the Royal Family, Parliament and the Church of England, the High Courts and other national institutions. But RP is no longer as widely used today as it was 60 years ago – less than 3 per cent of the
16
British people speak it in a pure form now. But it has been thoroughly described in linguistic literature and is easily understood throughout the English-speaking world that is why RP is adopted as the teaching norm for foreign learners.
To have a good pronunciation means:
- to articulate all the speech sounds and their combinations proper-
ly (both in isolated and in connected speech);
- to pronounce sentences fluently at the necessary speed with cor-
rect stresses, melody, timbre, rhythm and pauses.
Acquiring good pronunciation habits is no easy. Firstly, the learn­ers must understand the phonetic structure of English and know how to produce correct sounds and intonation. Secondly, they must do a lot of ear-training to develop their phonemic hearing which is the ability to differentiate the smallest shades of sounds and melody changes. (Lis­tening to native speakers is very helpful in this respect). Thirdly, they must be involved in intensive articulatory and imitative practice (which also implies a good deal of memory work) to make pronunciation skills natural and automatic. If you practise intelligently, you are sure to achieve good results and feel an artist’s satisfaction.
