write sentences to explain the purpose of following para linguistic features : stress, rhythm, pausing, phrasing
Answers
While giving speech , there are some linguistic techniques to draw listner's attention to yourself. This question is just talking about that.
stress : While framing a sentence , we make changes according to the situation and the action. A speaker should effectively know that where it is necessary to put stress and where to provide a relieve.
Ex:
- The car was bought by him.
- He bought the car.
Can you observe the difference. In the first sentence , the car gains all attention. And with the similar meaning in second second the man gains more attention. Here , the difference knocks!
rhythm: Rhythm is something that matters a lot. When you are singing , you have different rhythm of doing high or low pitch. While you are explaining something , your rhythm should be of that manner and goes on.
pausing : Pause is very important. These has been proven very useful for providing an effective fluent speech. The pause , when you catch you breath can help you to recall "what next to say". Proper pause also makes one speech interesting.
Phrasing : The most important point is to phrase a sentence. It's very important to phrase the sentence as call of the requirements and situations. A speaker should phrase a sentence in such a way that even if it is wrong , a listner will believe it to be true.
