PHONETIC GUIDE

Phonostylistics

Phonostylistics came into existence as an attempt to start bridging the gap between linguistic and extra-linguistic factors in analysing stylistic differentiation of oral texts.

Phonostylistics is not just a new brand of linguistics, to set side by side on the shelves with all the old brands. It is a whole different way of looking at phonetic phenomena. It is a way of doing phonetic science which includes various extra-linguistic factors, instead of systematically excluding them.

There is no consensus of opinion as to what grounds there are for classifying some factors as linguistic, and some as extra-linguistic (or non-linguistic). The most realistic approach is to introduce the scale of linguisticness, ranging from 'most' to 'least' linguistic. At the 'most linguistic' end would be classified those features of utterance most readily describable in terms of closed systems of contrasts, which have a relatively clear pho­netic definition and which are relatively easily integrated with other aspects of linguistic structure, eg phonemic distinctions, syllables, stress, nuclear tone type and placement, intonation group boundaries, pause, etc.

At the other, 'least linguistic' end would be placed all phe­nomena of speech that are not language, i. e. those feature of utterance which seem to have little potential for entering into systemic relationships, which have a relatively isolated function and cannot be easily integrated with other aspects of language structure, eg vocal effects lacking any semantic force (such as breathy and raspy voice quality or coughing).

Discuss the following questions in pairs.

1. Speak on linguistic and extra-linguistic factors. What is the difference between them?

2. How did phonostylistics come into existence?

3. What is phonostylistics?

Phonetic Functional Styles

These styles are related to so­cial setting or circumstances in which language is used. It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a person speaks differently on different occasions (e.g. when chatting with intimate friends or talking to official persons, when delivering a lecture, speaking over the radio or giving a dictation exercise). In other words, the choice of a speech style is situationally determined.

The problem of speech typology and phonetic differences conditioned by such extra-linguistic factors as age, sex, personal­ity traits, status, occupation, purpose, social identity (or 'class dialect') and the emotional state of the speaker also bear on the issue.

Summing up, phonostylistics is concerned with a wide range of correlated issues. Our knowledge of many of them is, howev­er, still very defective.

This part focuses on phonetic styles, with the main emphasis being laid on intonation.
