| Conclusion
Word stress is one of the most important components of speech. Each language has certain rules for its setting , based on which four types of stress can be distinguished: power, musical , quantitative and qualitative. The word stress of the English language belongs to the power type. This means that in words one syllable is pronounced louder than the rest of the syllables. In addition, they have a main and secondary stress, which is not as pronounced as the main one. The word stress of the English language has certain similarities. They contain both fixed stress, when the same syllable is singled out regardless of the change in word derivatives, and free stress , when the highlighted syllable goes into different parts of the word. It should be noted that in English verbal stress is used as a way of word formation. Most English words have two main stresses , which come from prefixes and suffixes. One of the stresses lies on the root syllable , the other falls on the prefix or suffix . The stress in the vast majority of English two- syllable words falls , as a rule , on the initial syllable, unless it is a prefix . In many trisyllabic and pollysyllabic words, the third syllable , counted from the end of the word, is stressed. If the word is two-syllable , then the second syllable from the end is stressed. To correctly determine the stress, you need to know the suffixes and, above all , the prefixes of the English language. Prefixes are most commonly found on verbs , adjectives , adverbs, and prepositions. Word stress has certain functions. The constitutive function is responsive for organising a word into a complex sound unit by giving it a clear form. The differential function helps to distinguish words from each other , since even words that have the same phonetic composition , but different stresses , can carry a completely different meaning. Recognitive function is the correct accentuation of words, which facilitates their recognition and understanding . Incorrect accentuation of words not only indicates the accent of the speaker , but also makes it difficult to understand his speech. After analysing the speech of Elizabeth II, we saw certain patterns of stress in words. Namely we found out that words in which the stress falls on the first syllable or the middle of the word predominate in the English language. Quite often you can find secondary stress in polysyllabic words with more than four syllables. This property is associated with the rhythmic nature of the alternation of stressed and unstressed syllables in an English word and phrase. In addition , there are much more words with a recessive accent than with a rhythmic one. This is due to the presence of referential prefixes , as well as a large amount of borrowing words from the Germanic and French languages. More complex words with more than three syllables are more often subject to rhythmic stressing жүктеу/скачать 54,19 Kb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
