In long words, unstressed vowels even disappear, phenomenon called elision, also known as deletion. Often, these vowels are associated with consonants which can become syllabic. Note the following examples:

The phonetic effect of liaison is to make the connections such that the end sound of one word actually becomes integrated into the sound of the succeeding word. If a word ends in a consonant and is followed by a word beginning with a vowel, the final consonant of the first word becomes the releasing consonant of the next word. Note these examples:

Its an apple. Come in. I give up. She loves him. Meet him.

May I ask? Did you see her? Where is the office? He likes her. I always tie it.

Prosody refers to the overall sound pattern you make for phrases and sentences. As you produce the sequence of consonants and vowel of the words you are putting together, you also overlay a sound contour on the sequence. Without this, your speech will sound like that of the robots or talking computers in old movie-speaking in a monotone, completely expressionless.

Rhythm is the repeating beat of what we say. The beats that make up the rhythm of a sentence are called stresses. Stress is sometimes called accent. English has four stresses: [/] primary ; very strong and very long [^] secondary; strong and long [\] tertiary; weak and short No markweak; very weak and short

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with a passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.
