# Function words: weak forms and how each word takes sentence stress. # # Written by hand. The dictionary gives every word its full, stressed form; # in running speech these words are unstressed or half stressed, and a few # have a different vowel. The choices among valid weak forms (for example # "of" with ʌ, "has" with ɐ) follow the tokens the TTS model was trained on. # # Columns (separated by two or more spaces): word, class, form, final form. # u never stressed # uf unstressed; stressed when it is the last word of its clause # ur unstressed; stressed when no stressed word follows in the clause # s secondary stress; primary when no stressed word follows in the clause # ss always secondary stress # si secondary when it opens the clause, otherwise unstressed; primary # when no stressed word follows # pf stressed as written; the final form when it closes the clause # The form is the medial one. The final form is used when the word is # promoted; without it the marked (or first) vowel takes the primary stress. # articles, pronouns, determiners the u ð ə a u ɐ an u ɐ n i uf aɪ you u j uː he u h iː she u ʃ iː it u ɪ t we u w iː they u ð eɪ me ss m ˌiː him ss h ˌɪ m her u h ɜː us ss ˌʌ s them ss ð ˌɛ m my uf m aɪ your u j ʊɹ his uf h ɪ z its u ɪ t s our ss ˌaʊ ɚ their u ð ɛɹ this uf ð ɪ s that uf ð æ t these uf ð iː z those uf ð oʊ z some ss s ˌʌ m any ss ˌɛ n i who s h ˌuː whose s h ˌuː z which ss w ˌɪ tʃ what si w ˌʌ t where s w ˌɛɹ when si w ˌɛ n why s w ˌaɪ how s h ˌaʊ there uf ð ɛɹ # auxiliaries am u æ m is u ɪ z are u ɑːɹ was u w ʌ z were u w ɜː be uf b iː been ss b ˌɪ n being s b ˌiː ɪ ŋ have uf h æ v has uf h ɐ z h ˈæ z had uf h æ d h ˌæ d having ss h ˌæ v ɪ ŋ will ur w ɪ l would uf w ʊ d shall ss ʃ ˌæ l should s ʃ ˌʊ d can ur k æ n could uf k ʊ d might s m ˌaɪ t get ur ɡ ɛ t got ur ɡ ɑː t getting ss ɡ ˌɛ ɾ ɪ ŋ go s ɡ ˌoʊ goes ur ɡ oʊ z going s ɡ ˌoʊ ɪ ŋ gone ur ɡ ɔ n went uf w ɛ n t make ss m ˌeɪ k makes ss m ˌeɪ k s making ss m ˌeɪ k ɪ ŋ made s m ˌeɪ d put ss p ˌʊ t doing ss d ˌuː ɪ ŋ became ss b ɪ k ˌeɪ m become s b ɪ k ˌʌ m # contractions i'm u aɪ m i'll u aɪ l i've u aɪ v i'd u aɪ d you're u j ʊɹ you'll u j uː l you've u j uː v you'd u j uː d he's u h iː z he'll u h iː l he'd u h iː d she's u ʃ iː z she'll u ʃ iː l she'd u ʃ iː d it's u ɪ t s it'll ss ˌɪ ɾ əl we're u w ɪɹ we'll u w iː l we've u w iː v we'd u w iː d they're u ð eɪ ɚ they'll u ð eɪ l they've u ð eɪ v they'd u ð eɪ d that's u ð æ t s there's u ð ɛɹ z what's ss w ˌʌ t s who's ss h ˌuː z where's ss w ˌɛɹ z how's ss h ˌaʊ z isn't s ˌɪ z ə n t won't uf w oʊ n t couldn't s k ˌʊ d ə n t shouldn't s ʃ ˌʊ d ə n t # prepositions, conjunctions, particles of u ʌ v to uf t ə t uː in uf ɪ n on s ˌɔ n at u æ t by uf b aɪ for u f ɔːɹ from u f ɹ ʌ m with u w ɪ ð as u æ z than u ð ɐ n and uf æ n d or u ɔːɹ if u ɪ f but s b ˌʌ t so s s ˌoʊ not s n ˌɑː t up s ˌʌ p down s d ˌaʊ n about s ɐ b ˌaʊ t above s ə b ˌʌ v across ss ə k ɹ ˌɑː s among ss ɐ m ˌʌ ŋ before s b ᵻ f ˌoːɹ behind s b ᵻ h ˌaɪ n d below s b ᵻ l ˌoʊ beneath ss b ᵻ n ˌiː θ beside s b ᵻ s ˌaɪ d between s b ᵻ t w ˌiː n beyond ss b ᵻ j ˌɔ n d into ss ˌɪ n t ʊ onto ss ˌɑː n t ʊ unto ss ˌʌ n t ʊ upon ss ə p ˌɑː n over s ˌoʊ v ɚ under s ˌʌ n d ɚ near s n ˌɪɹ nearly ss n ˌɪɹ l i through ur θ ɹ uː within s w ɪ ð ˌɪ n without s w ɪ ð ˌaʊ t while s w ˌaɪ l though s ð ˌoʊ together s t ə ɡ ˌɛ ð ɚ already s ɔː l ɹ ˌɛ d i whenever ss w ɛ n ˌɛ v ɚ sir s s ˌɜː # numbers: "one" weakens at the end of a clause; the teens are stressed on the # first syllable before another word and on "teen" at the end one pf w ˈʌ n w ˌʌ n thirteen pf θ ˈɜː t iː n θ ɜː t ˈiː n fourteen pf f ˈoːɹ t iː n f oːɹ t ˈiː n fifteen pf f ˈɪ f t iː n f ɪ f t ˈiː n sixteen pf s ˈɪ k s t iː n s ɪ k s t ˈiː n seventeen pf s ˈɛ v ə n t iː n s ɛ v ə n t ˈiː n eighteen pf ˈeɪ t iː n eɪ t ˈiː n nineteen pf n ˈaɪ n t iː n n aɪ n t ˈiː n
