My archetype




Why I chose this video...

I chose this video because the girl in it is a native American English speaker. This video consists of continuous speech that is well paced and that I can follow comfortably for my practice. More importantly, this short video has a range of features that I intend to examine, such as intonation, rhythm, stress and pronunciation of vowels and consonants among other features. This girl asks questions, utters statements and changes her voice quality in a typical American English manner, thus providing me with the best archetype for practice in my phonology course.
