Warm-up: Sense Group What is a sense group? When we speak, we will give listeners clues to brief units of meaning, each at a time, to help him or her reach the total meaning of the utterance without confusion. Each brief unit, discretely spoken, is called a sense group and the clue to understand it is the silence (or pause) that occurs before and after it. The meaning of an utterance will depend on how we identify sense groups with the pauses. Read the sentence and answer the question: Who neglected the incidence of AIDS? The government of A country said B country President has grossly neglected the incidence of AIDS. The answer depends on how we mark off sense groups with pauses. The government of A country / said B country President/ has grossly neglected/ the incidence of AIDS.
