UNIT 5 Seeing beyond the surface meaning
What does the speaker mean
exactly?
How can we interpret intonation?
People do not always say exactly what they mean. As
listeners we must learn to interpret the words people
use as well as their intonation patterns. In this unit, we
will investigate some ways of seeing beyond the surface
meaning of spoken language while following a
conversation.
Pre-listening
• Look at the following sentence: / thought the assignment was due in on Thursday.
• Try saying it in three different ways, to produce three different meanings.
What are the three meanings? Discuss these with your partner.
• Try creating a similar short statement. See if you can vary the meaning by changing
the word stress.
• Read your statements to your partner. Can you hear the differences in meaning?
EXTRACT 1

Listen to Unit 5, Extract 1, which consists of an example and eight short,
independent dialogues. As you listen, answer the focus question Yes or No.
Discuss what indicators or language features helped you to interpret the real
meaning of the speakers.
