Features of connected speech such as stress, phrasing, intonation, and information structure have crucial linguistic and communicative functions. Yet these features are seldom given attention in TCSL. To help learners become more natural and fluent H.Třísková designed a prosodic transcription CHIPROT for L2 teaching purposes. It reflects fundamental prosodic features of fluent speech, namely the degree of prominence of particular syllables, and phrasing. The core concept of the prominence scale is the concept of Commonly Weakened Morphemes (tonal morphemes which frequently become weakened in fluent speech). This conference paper (keynote speech) introduces 11 groups of CWM in detail, including exampel audios.
