34. Sense group in speech

 “Speech is power: speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel.”

 

                                                                                           -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Speech should have a unique power to attract the audience. Sense groups are one of the factors that help us do so. Understanding and utilizing sense groups in speech is a crucial skill for effective communication. These are small units of meaning separated by brief pauses and slight pitch changes. It helps us to recognize natural pauses consider syntactic cues and group words logically. Mastering these groups improves fluency, polishes speaking prowess and makes our speech easily understandable.

************************************************************

 Speech perception relies on sense groups, where words are grouped based on meaning rather than individual sounds. For instance, in the phrase "hot dog," "hot" and "dog" form separate sense groups, aiding comprehension. Understanding sense groups is crucial for effective communication, highlighting the role of semantic context in deciphering spoken language.
