The above is due to visual-line-mode which got introduced in
Emacs about 5 years ago. If visual-line-mode is turned on, long
lines are visually wrapped -- you should turn of visual-line-mode
since it provides little to no value when you cannot see the
screen.

That's something I originally implemented based on IBM
Screenreader which is what I used before I impleemnted
Emacspeak. The "aw" is just a nonsense phrase that makes it
slightly easier to parse the utterance.
