PHONETIC NOTES
To make speech more expressive we do not always stress all
the notional words in a sentence. Sometimes we make one or
two words more prominent than the others. The word which is
most important in the sentences is often marked by logical stress
while the words following it remain unstressed or half
stressed
as they do not introduce anything new, but refer to something
already known.
e. g. There is an  English




speaking 
\
club at our faculty.
 We,




students, are 
\
proud of this fact.
