                        STRESS AND INTONATION

      Intonation is the "envelope" which transmits the meaning
      of an utterance.  It is an important feature in any language.
      For example, a student who acquires excellent pronunciation
      of vowels, consonants, and words of a foreign language, but
      cannot utter these inside the envelope used by speakers of
      that particular language, will have difficulty making himself
      understood.  Conversely, a student who has weaker pronunciation
      but has acquired the ability to utilize proper intonation,
      may communicate far more successfully.

      "Intonation" refers to the rise and fall of the voice.
      "Stress" refers to the varying loudness of the voice.  When
      we speak, this rise, or fall, or loudness characteristic of
      speech conveys information that not only reveals our emotions,
      but also reveals other vital information such as:

      -that a question is being asked
      -that a statement is being made
      -that emphasis is being injected
      -that the speaker anticipates agreement with him
      -that the speaker anticipates disagreement
      -that the speaker outranks you
      -that the speaker is "kidding"
      -that the speaker is making a fool of you
      -that the speaker is sure of something
      -that the speaker is not sure of something
      -that the speaker is insecure
      -etc.

      An exhaustive listing of the kind of information that is revealed
      by stress and intonation would require several pages.
      The point is that this information is not available from just
      words or phrases, or even sentences, if these are stripped of
      their stress and intonation.

      There are probably dozens of intonation patterns in any
      language.  Of these, however, four or five patterns are the
      "work horses" of most discourse.  The purpose of the following
      exercises is to call your attention to intonation and to
      get you acquainted with the forms of these "work horses" in
      Spanish.  In so doing, we hope that you will be more careful
      in both listening for these patterns and in making a serious
      effort to imitate them.

                               EXERCISES

      (When utilizing the tape recorder for this exercise, keep
      in mind that you will have to START and STOP the recorder for
      each of the questions below.  First, read the instructions for
      number 1, then start the tape and listen.  When the items under
      number 1 are completed, stop the tape and read number 2.  Then,
      start the tape and listen to the items under number 2 and,
      again, stop the tape before going on to number 3, and so forth:
      This start-stop procedure is to be followed throughout this
      manner of presentation.

      (The parentheses "( )" indicate that you will hear something
      spoken by your instructor's voice on the tape.  The
      number of times you see a pair of parentheses indicates how
      many times the utterance will be repeated.  Thus "( ) ( )"
      indicates that you will hear the utterance said twice.)

                              KEY

     The Key, found at the end of each unit, contains all of the
     voicing script that does not appear in printed form in the
     Workbook (Phonology).  Excepting those parts that are shown
     in parentheses, everything else is voiced.

     The numeral following many of the items represents the
     number of times something is voiced.

     Models of phrasal intonation (i.e., Unit 1, from 56 and
     following) contain marking systems which are not related to
     normal orthographical practices:

     1.  Accent marks are used only to indicate the pivotal
         points of the intonational contour.

     2.  A period '.' represents the normal fall of a statement.

     3.  A question mark '?' represents the rise of a polite question.

     4.  A double question mark '??' represents the sharp rise and rapid
         fall of a familiar question.


 Part 1

      Note:  Listen carefully and work conscientiously, because every
      so often you will be tested without a chance to review.

      1.  Listen to this word, which we will call word 'a'.

                          (a)   (a)   (a)

      2.  Now listen to this word, which we will call word 'b'.

                          (b)   (b)   (b)

      3.  These two words sound very similar to some
          people and even exactly the same to others.
          In Spanish these words are "as different as
          night and day".  Here are the two words again.

                      (a) (b)   (a) (b)   (a) (b)

      4.  The difference heard in these two words is
          called 'stress'.  That is, these words are different
          because their stress is different.  Here they are again.

                       ( )  ( )     ( )  ( )

      5.  One of these words means 'potato'.  This is the word 'potato'.

                       ( )    ( )

      6.  The other words means 'Dad'.  This is the word 'Dad'.

                       ( )     ( )

      7.  Here is 'potato' and 'Dad'.

                   (potato)  (Dad)   (potato)  (Dad)

      Frequently, you will be asked a question which you should
      answer.  When you are asked a question, the correct answer
      will be given in the left margin.  You should keep the answer
      covered (either with your hand or with a piece of paper) until
      after you produce your answer.  Then, slide your hand (or
      paper) down, revealing the correct answer.  This correct answer
      lets you know if you are learning what you should learn.  If
      your answer is wrong, you need to back up and re-study what
      you didn't learn.

      You will now be asked questions to answer.  Before that,
      let's review what we have done thus far.

      8.  To Spanish ear, these words are very different.

                      (a) (b)     (a) (b)

      9.  One of these words means 'potato'.  Here it is.

                      (potato)          (potato)

      10.  The other means 'Dad'.  Here it is.

                       (Dad)             (Dad)

      11.  Question:  Which word is being said here, 'potato' or 'Dad'?

                       (?)     (?)
 (potato)

      12.  Which one is being said here?

                           (?)     (?)
 (Dad)

      13.  Which word is 'Dad', No. 1 or No. 2?

                    (1)    (2)      (1)    (2)
 (2)

      14.  Is this the word 'potato'?

                           (?)   (?)
 (no)

      15.  Is this the word 'Dad'?

                           (?)    (?)
 (yes)

      16.  Which one is 'Dad', No. 1 or No. 2?

                           (1)   (2)
 (2)

      17.   Which one is 'potato', No. 1 or No. 2?

                          (1)   (2)
 (2)

      18.  Your instructor will now say these words five
           times in mixed order.  How many times does he say 'Dad'?

                        ( )     ( )    ( )    ( )    ( )

                Again:  ( )     ( )    ( )    ( )    ( )
 (3)

      19.   Your instructor will again say these words five
            times in mixed order.  How many times does he say 'potato'?
 (2)

      20.   You  have learned to differentiate between two
            words in Spanish whose only difference is the
            position of the stress.   The stress in 'Dad'
            falls on the last syllable.

      21.   We say that the loudest part (or the stressed
            part) is the last syllable in the word 'Dad'.

                         ( )      ( )

      22.   The word 'potato' is stressed on the first syllable.

                         ( )     ( )

      23.   As you can tell, 'stress' in Spanish acts like
            another letter of the alphabet.  There are hundreds
            of words in Spanish which are different
            only in stress.  Here is another pair of words
            which also sound alike, but which are very different
            to Spanish-speaking people.

                     (a)  (b)     (a)  (b)

      24.   Here is another example.

                     (a)  (b)     (a)  (b)

      25.   Here are (a) 'potato' and (b) 'Dad' again followed
            by a new word (c).  Is this new word
            stressed like 'potato' or like 'Dad'?

                  (a: potato)  (b:  Dad)  (c:  ?)
 (b. Dad)

      26.   Again, the same words for (a) and (b), but a new one for (c).
            Is this new one stressed like (a) or (b)?

                 (a: potato)  (b: Dad)  (c: ?)
 (b. Dad)

      27.   Same thing again.  Is (c) like (a) or (b)?

                           (a)   (b)   (c)?
 (a. potato)

      28.  Is (c) like (a) or (b)?

                           (a)   (b)   (c)?
 (b. Dad)

      29.  Is (c) like (a) or (b)?

                           (a)   (b)   (c)?
 (a. potato)

      30.  Here are two different words, different in that
           none of the sounds in the first word appears in
           the second word.  Listen.

                         (x)   (y)

      31.   Though (x) and (y) are very different, their
            stress is the same.  That is, both are stressed
            on the first syllable.  Listen to them again.

                         (x)   (y)

      32.  Do these two different words have the same stress?

                         (r)   (g)
 (yes)

      33.  Is the stress the same or different with these two words?

 (same)

      34.  Is the stress the same or different with these?

 (different)

      35.  Is the stress the same or different with these?

 (different)


                              TEST A

      For each item, you will hear a word said twice. You are
      to identify which is its stressed syllable, the first one or
      the second one?  Put an 'X' in the appropriate column.

                                First syllable       Second syllable
                                (like 'potato')      (like 'Dad')

 Part 2

      36.  Thus far, you have listened to short words having
           only two syllables.  Spanish has, of course, words
           which are longer.  Here is a long one.

                       ( )    ( )

      37.  Here is a three-syllable word with stress  on the
             last syllable.

                       ( )     ( )     ( )

      38.  And here is another very similar word having its
           stress on the second-last syllable.

                        ( )      ( )

      39.  These two words mean different things, of course.
           Here they are in contrast.

                   (a)  (b)     (a)  (b)

      40.  As far as stress is concerned, we can say that
           these two words are similar to 'Dad' and 'potato'.
           For example, here is 'Dad' and the new word with
           stress on the last syllable.  Notice that it is the
           last syllable which has the stress.

                       (Dad)  ( )     (Dad)  ( )

      41.  Here is 'potato' and the other new word.  Both
           have the stress on the second-last syllable.

                       (potato)  ( )     (potato)  ( )

      42.  If two words are stressed on their last syllable,
           we can say they are of the same kind, or
           'family', as far as stress is concerned.  Here
           are two words which belong to the same 'family'
           since their stress falls on the last syllable.

                     ( )    ( )        ( )    ( )

      43.  Now listen to these two very different words
           which belong to the same stress 'family', since
           their stress is on the same syllable, that is,
           the second-last syllable.

                     ( )   ( )      ( )   ( )

      44.  Most Spanish words are of the kind that are
           stressed on the last or second-last syllable.
           There are some, however, which are stressed on
           the third-last syllable, and a very few with
           stress on the fourth-last syllable.  Here is one
           stressed on the third-last syllable.

                     ( )     ( )

      45.  And here is one stressed on the fourth-last syllable.

                     ( )     ( )

      46.  You will now hear a word said two times.  It has
           three syllables which we will count from the
           end of the word, as shown by the numbers under
           each space.  Which is the stressed syllable,
           No. 1 (last), No. 2 (second-last), or No. 3 (third-last)?

                     ( )    ( )    ___    ___   ___
 (1)                                3      2     1

      47.  Here is another three-syllable word.  Which is
           the stressed syllable?

                     ( )    ( )    ___    ___   ___
 (1)                                3      2     1

      48.  Which is the stressed syllable in this word?

                     ( )    ( )    ___    ___   ___
 (2)                                3      2     1

      49.  And in this one?

                     ( )    ( )    ___    ___   ___
 (2)                                3      2     1


      50. Is this one stressed on 3 or 2?

                     ( )    ( )    ___    ___   ___
 (2)                                3      2     1

      51.  Is this one stressed on 3 or 2?

                     ( )    ( )    ___    ___   ___
 (3)                                3      2     1

      52.  And this one?

                     ( )    ( )    ___    ___   ___
 (3)                                3      2     1

      53.  Where is this one stressed?

                     ( )    ( )    ___    ___   ___
 (1)                                3      2     1

      54.  And this one?

                     ( )    ( )    ___    ___   ___
 (2)                                3      2     1

      55.  And, finally, this one?

                     ( )    ( )    ___    ___   ___
 (3)                                3      2     1


                               TEST B

 For each item, you will hear a word said twice.  Identify
 which is the stressed syllable by putting an 'X' over the
 proper number.  (These are all three-syllable words.)

      56.  This is a Spanish sentence.

                          ( )    ( )

      57.  This is an imitation of the rhythm of that sentence.

                          ( )    ( )

      58.  Notice that the voice rises near the beginning of the sentence.

                          ( )    ( )

      59.  Notice also that the voice falls at the end.

                          ( )    ( )

      60.  Listen to this rise and fall, but using the real sentence.

                          ( )     ( )

      61.  We can represent rise and fall of the voice
           with a line like this:        ________________
                                      __/                |
                                            ( )  ( )      \

      62.  This kind of shape for the line represents a normal
           'uncolored' statement, that is, a statement having no
           element of surprise, no element of emphasis, etc.
                                         ________________
                                      __/                |
                                            ( )  ( )      \

      63.  If this same sentence were said as a question,
           it would be a little different.  This is an imitation
           of the rhythm of this sentence, expressed as a question.  (Q)

                               (Q)   (Q)

      64.  Notice that there is about the same kind of rise
           at the beginning as there was in the previous, normal statement.

                               (Q)   (Q)

      65.  But notice that the ending is different:

              Statement:  (S)
              Question:   (Q)

      66.  Listen again to the difference between a statement and a question:

              Statement:  (S)
              Question:   (Q)

      67.  Here is the same thing, but this time using real words:

              Statement:  (S)   (S)
              Question:   (Q)   (Q)

      68.  A question can be represented like this:

                          (Q)   (Q)

      69.  Which is the question, No. 1 or No. 2?

                          1:  ( )   2:  ( )
 (2)

      70.  Which is the statement, No. 1 or No. 2?

                     1:  ( )   2:
 (1)

      71.  The shape of the rising and falling which has
           been represented by a line as follows:
                                                                     /
      Statement:  ________________      Question:   ________________/
              __ /                |              __/
                                   \

           is called the intonation of an utterance.  Notice
           that, even though an utterance may be longer
           than our models, the intonation is basically the same:
                                                                     /
      Statement:  ________________      Question:   ________________/
              __ /                |              __/
                    (S)   (S)      \                    (Q)  (Q)


      72.  The intonational pattern for a question that
           you have now learned to identify is a polite or
           formal intonation.  A very common intonation used in
           the familiar or less formal situations sounds like this:

                    Familiar Question (FQ):  (FQ)   (FQ)

      73.  Compare the polite with the familiar intonation:

                    Polite Question   (PQ):  (PQ)   (PQ)
                    Familiar Question (FQ):  (FQ)   (FQ)

      74.  The familiar question can be represented like this:
                               __
                     _________/  \
           (FQ):  __/             \        (FQ)   (FQ)

      75.  Which is the polite (PQ) question, No. 1 or No. 2.

                         PQ:  (1)  (2)
 (2)

      76.  Which is the familiar (FQ) question, No. 1 or No. 2?

                         FQ:  (1)  (2)
 (2)

      77.  Which of the following lines represents the
           familiar (FQ) question intonation?
                               __                                /
                     _________/  \                  ____________/
           (1):   __/             \    or (2):   __/
 (1)

      78.  This is the FQ with real words:

                          (FQ)  (FQ)

      79.  Notice again, that even though the utterance is
           longer, the intonation is basically the same.

                         (F0)  (FQ)

      80.  Is this question said in the FQ pattern?

                         ( )     ( )
 (yes)

      81.  Is this one said in the FQ pattern also?

                         ( )     ( )
 (no)

      82.  Identify this utterance as a statement (S), a
           polite question (PQ), or familiar question (FQ).

                         ( )     ( )
 (FQ)

      83.  Identify this utterance.

                         ( )     ( )
 (S)

      84.  Identify this one.

                         ( )     ( )
 (FQ)

      85.  Identify this one.

                         ( )      ( )
 (PQ)

      86.  If a person were to ask you this question, is
           he being formal or informal?

                         ( )      ( )
 (formal)

      87.  If a person were to ask you this question, is
           he being formal or informal?

                         ( )      ( )
 (informal)

      88.  If you heard the following utterance, would the
           speaker be asking or telling you something?

                         ( )      ( )
 (telling)

      89.  If you hear this one, would the speaker be telling or asking?

                         ( )      ( )
 (telling)

      90.  Would he be telling or asking in this one?

                         ( )      ( )
 (asking)

      91.  Would he be telling or asking in this one?

                         ( )      ( )
 (asking)

      92.  Would he be telling or asking in this one?

                         ( )      ( )
 (asking)

      93.  And here?

                         ( )      ( )
 (asking)

      94.  As you have observed, a question is signaled by
           the speaker by the intonation he uses.  Similarly,
           his intonation reveals if he is simply making a statement.

                           ___________
           Statement:   __/           \__

                                        /
                            ___________/
                  PQ:    __/
                                      __
                          ___________/  \
                  FQ:  __/               \__

      95.  But notice what happens here:  this, too, is a question.

                         ( )      ( )

      96.  This kind of question has the same intonation
           as a statement.  Observe the similarity between
           the question (Q) and the statement (S).

                     (Q)  (S)     (Q)  (S)

      97.  Since the intonation is the same, there is no
           way to tell by intonation alone whether it is
           a question or a statement.  However, a native
           speaker knows which are statements.  He can tell
           them apart by the beginning of the sentence:
           such questions always have a question-word at
           or near the beginning.  For example, this is
           one of the several Spanish question-words:

                         ( )      ( )

      98.  This, then, is a question.

                         (Q)   (Q)

      99.  This, too, is a question.

                         (Q)    (Q)

      100.  A question with a question-word, then, is no
            different in intonation from a statement.  The
            intonation is the same.  The difference is signaled
            by the question-word.  Observe:

            Statement (S):  (S)   (S)

            Question with question-word      (Qw): (Qw)  (Qw)

      101.  There are, then, three basic types of questions:

                                    /
                      _____________/
                     /
            PQ:   __/
                                     _
                     ______________/   \
                    /                   \
            FQ:  __/                     \

                     _____________
                    /             \
            QW:  __/               \

      102.  Observe these three patterns:

                                    /
                      _____________/
                     /
            PQ    __/                           :  ( )  ( )
                                     _
                     ______________/   \
                    /                   \
            FQ   __/                     \      :  ( )  ( )

                     _____________
                    /              \
            QW   __/                \           :  ( )  ( )


      103.  As a non-speaker of Spanish at this moment, you
            would be unable to tell if someone were telling
            you something or asking you something with a
            question-word, since you do not yet know what the
            question-words are for Spanish.  However, you have
            learned to spot that this is one of the question words:

                             ( )      ( )

      104.  Therefore, is this a question or a statement?

                              ( )
 (question)

      105.  And, if in these presentations we did not use
            any other question-word but the one you have
            learned to identify, you should be able to tell
            which of the following two is a question:

                          (1)   (2)
 (2)

      106.  Are these both questions, or is one a statement
            and the other a question?

                      (?)  (?)           (?)  (?)
 (questions)

      107.  Are both of these questions?

                               (?)   (?)
 (no)

      108.  Are both of these questions?

                               (?)   (?)
 (yes)

      109.  Are both of these questions?

                      (?)   (?)
 (no)

      110.  Which one is a question?

                      (1)   (2)
 (1)

      111.  Here is a series of sentences. Identify which ones are questions.

                       (1)  (2)  (3)  (4)  (5)

               Again:  (1)  (2)  (3)  (4)  (5)
 (2,3,5)

      112.  Which ones of these are statements?

                       (1)  (2)  (3)  (4)  (5)

               Again:  (1)  (2)  (3)  (4)  (5)
 (2,3)

      113.  Is this a polite question (PQ) or a familiar question (FQ)?

                             ( )      ( )
 (FQ)

      114.  Is this a statement (S) or a question with a question-word (QW)?

                             ( )      ( )
 (QW)

                               NOTE

       The purpose of this section on intonation has been to
       teach you that intonation is important and to encourage you
       to imitate it.

       You will find that one or more of the four patterns presented
       thus far may not be accepted by a native speaker.  There
       are several reasons for this rejection:

       1.  Intonation is such a subtle matter that most native speakers
           (like yourself in English) are not aware of intonation.

       2.  Some patterns vary slightly from country to country.

       3.  The voicing of these intonation patterns on the tape may
           appear unnatural to a native speaker for two reasons:

           a.  It is almost impossible to produce natural
               intonation in isolated sentences out of context,
               as we have tried to do.

           b.  We are guilty of exaggeration of the patterns
               of intonation in order to allow an untrained
               student to hear these more distinctly.
