Now in a new edition, this unique interactive introduction to the study of phonetics shows students how to examine the entire range of human sounds through a series of 124 introspective experiments carried out in their own vocal tracts. It systematically covers all types of speech modification (breath, voice, whisper, creak), articulation (the ways in which the air stream is finally modulated to generate specific types of sound), and prosodic features (stress, syllable, tone, intonation). This text also includes a chapter on sound systems--the ways in which particular languages utilize and systematize the universal sound-producing potential of humans.
Maths - grade 8 This unit focuses on exponential relationships, in which a quantity grows larger or smaller at an increasing rate rather than at a constant rate.
Math - Grade 7 The focus of these unit of Connected Mathematics 2 is volume (filling) and surface area (wrapping) of objects, especially rectangular prisms, cylinders, cones, and spheres. In addition, students extend their understanding of similarity and scale factors to three-dimensional figures.
Humankind has always been fascinated and troubled by the way languages and dialects differ. Linguistically based differences in point of view have preoccupied many original minds of the past, such as Kant, and remain at the forefront of language study: in philosophy, anthropology, literary criticism, and other fields.
