Techniques of pausing and connecting lines in reciting

Stop connection refers to the interruption and continuation of sounds in the flow of spoken language. Intermissions in speech are called pauses; places without interruption are called connections. Below is what I have collected for everyone, welcome to learn from it.

1. The reader’s physiological needs when reciting;

2. Sentence structure

3. The need to fully express thoughts and feelings;

4. Give the listener a space to appreciate and think, understand and accept, and help the listener understand the meaning of the article. deepen the impression.

In ancient times, there was a joke caused by discontinuation:

A stingy rich man was going to ask a private school teacher to teach his children to read. When asked about the food standards, the private school teacher wrote, "No chicken, duck, or fish, or a plate of vegetables is enough." The rich man understood this as "It doesn't matter if you don't have chickens or ducks, or if you don't have fish, a plate of vegetables is enough", so he invited this gentleman. But on the first day of teaching, when the private school teacher saw that there was only a plate of green vegetables on the table, he became furious. He took a note and said, clearly stated, "If you don't have chicken, you can use duck; if you don't have fish, you can use meat; if you don't have fish, you can use meat; a plate of vegetables." That's enough!", why don't you keep your promise?!

From this joke, we can see that the difference in stop and run can completely change the meaning, so you can't stop and run at will when reading aloud.

1. Pause

Pauses are generally divided into grammatical pauses, emphasized pauses, weak logical pauses, emotional pauses, and structural pauses.

1. Grammatical pauses refer to general pauses in sentences, reflecting the structural relationship of sentences. When reading aloud, pause frequently according to the requirements of punctuation marks. In general, the length of grammatical pauses can be distinguished as follows: period, question mark, exclamation mark, semicolon, colon, comma, and pause.

2. Emphasis on pauses refers to special intervals in sentences. Or in order to emphasize a certain thing, highlight a certain meaning or a certain emotion; or in order to strengthen the tone, pretend to pause in reading where there is no grammatical pause; or change the pause time based on the grammatical pause to give the listener a chance to think. room to facilitate understanding and acceptance, thereby enhancing the language effect of reading aloud. It can also be called a logical pause or an emotional pause.

For example: This is the place where the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army passed during the Long March in 1935. The Red Army called it “Water Grassland”. A pause is needed after "here" and "it" in this sentence to emphasize the point to be explained.

For example: The castor grows taller and taller, and the big leaves look like open hands. After a while, the castor flower bloomed, producing a bunch of small pink flowers. There should be a short pause after "big leaves" to highlight the following metaphor; a longer pause after "blooming" can show people's excitement.

3. Structural pauses: Determined by the hierarchical structure of the article, they are pauses made to express the levels, paragraphs, etc. of the article.

There is another classification method: distinguishing pause, echoing pause, parallel pause, emphatic pause, conversion pause, physiological pause, and aftertaste pause.

1. Discriminative pause: a pause arranged between words and phrases in order to avoid ambiguity in the meaning of the sentence.

For example: The Chinese team defeated the American team and won the championship.

The Chinese team defeated the American team and won the championship.

The Chinese team defeated the American team and won the championship.

For example: the most expensive one is worth 800 yuan.

The most expensive one is worth ︱800︱ yuan.

The most expensive one is worth 800 yuan.

The most expensive one is worth 800 yuan.

2. Responsive pause: It is a pause that emphasizes the internal connection of the sentence. There are pauses in response, including layer-by-layer pauses, that is, a large response followed by a small response, or one call, several responses, several calls, and one response.

For example: Now broadcasting the mid-October weather forecast released by the Central Meteorological Observatory this morning.

"Broadcast" is a call, and "weather forecast" is a response.

For example: He has been an actor, taught at a university, and worked as a carpenter for several years.

"He" means calling, and the following phrases are responding.

3. Parallel pauses: refers to the corresponding pauses between corresponding juxtaposed words in several sentences.

Example: In the past︱we were not intimidated by difficulties, and now︱we will not shrink from difficulties either.

In the parallel relationship between related words such as "and" and "and", the series of pauses must pay attention to the equivalence of the parallel components.

Example: When he issued this order at the time, he was essentially declaring war on the most stubborn traditional habits and conservative ideas.

4. Emphatic pause: an appropriate pause before and after a word to highlight it.

For example: Grandpa Forest︱Not panicked at all. Highlighting the calmness of Grandpa Forest.

For example: The Yangtze River, which has been called a natural danger since ancient times, was conquered by us. Highlight the heroic spirit of "conquering" the Yangtze River.

5. Transitional pause: It is a longer pause arranged at the turning point of expression.

For example: I thought I could see the glorious sunrise, but it started to rain.

The slightly longer pause after "sunrise" is not only a continuation of the hopeful mood, but also a hint of inner preparation and expression of the sudden change of the situation.

6. Physiological pause: It is used to express a certain pause caused by the influence of physiological changes. Including specific speech choking, choking, life-threatening warnings, breathless speech, and pauses caused by physiological changes such as stuttering.

For example: She fainted with fright, turned around and said to him: "I...I...I lost Mrs. Forestier's necklace." This shows that she suffered from physical stress caused by extreme nervousness. Obstacles in blood flow, breathing, and poor language skills.

7. Recollective pauses: long pauses after words that require imagination or reflection.

For example: I think it’s time for you to leave.

For example: The darkness in the soul must be driven away with knowledge.

2. Connection

Connections refer to uninterrupted and uninterrupted places, especially places with uninterrupted punctuation marks. There are two types of connections: direct connections and indirect connections.

1. Direct connection is generally used where there are punctuation marks and the content is relatively closely connected. It is characterized by following the trend and leaving no trace.

For example: You are not as good as one-tenth or one percent of him. One, one ten thousandth! "One tenth, one hundredth, one ten thousandth" these three parallels should be read together without interruption.

2. Qu. The feeling of connection is that of stopping but not stopping, connecting sounds and meanings, and connecting closely. It is suitable for connecting lines in a sentence or a paragraph, and is also used where there are no punctuation marks and the content needs to be differentiated.

For example: my country’s Chinese language is divided into seven major dialect areas: Northern dialect area, Wu dialect area, Hunan dialect area, Gan dialect area, Hakka dialect area, Cantonese dialect area, and Min dialect area.

Practice:

Find the pauses and connections, mark the symbols and try to read them out.

1. “I never thought I could find them again, too. Thank you!" One afternoon a few days ago, Fei Guohua, director of Nanyangshao Distillery, who was on a business trip to Beijing, took over the lost 14,000 yuan in cash and other identification documents, and held the taxi tightly. The hand of driver Rong Jinsuo.

When he opened the bag, he saw that it contained more than 14,000 yuan in cash, as well as a business pass and some other identity documents. He immediately thought that it might have been left behind by the passenger who had just gotten off the bus, but the passenger had disappeared, and then he hurriedly hurried.

According to the fact that the passengers got off the bus at the Yanxiang Hotel, the company staff considered that the owner might live in the hotel. After telephone contact, the hotel staff said that they did not know if anyone had lost the item yet. . I waited until 2 p.m. when I received a call from Yanxiang Hotel, saying that the person who lost the bag had been found.
