The Rhythm
1. The notion of the rhythm:
ü the multitude of definitions
ü the classification of languages on the basis of their rhythm
(a more detailed description of stress-timed languages:
- creating regularity of stress occurence
- aspects of connected speech, stress in form and notional words;
- the comparison of two stress-timed languages - Russian and English - in the character of their stress)
2. The rhythmic unit:
ü the definition
ü components of the rhythmic unit
( - proclitics, the nucleus and enclitics,
a. the two views on the equality of the segments - semantic and enclitic, practical application of each;
b. the question of isochrony of the rhythm: the rate of delivery through compression and extension)
ü the rhythmic unit and the sense group Give examples
3. Rhythm of the text:
