referred to as the result of a stronger puff of air - or an increased articulatory effort of some kind - which gives relatively greater prominence to some portion of an utterance than to others, creating thereby a suprasegmental signal which is critical for the communication of lexical or affective meanings. the term stress is defined as syllable prominence which may derive from several determining phonetic factors such as increased loudness, duration, pitch movement, sound quality or a combination of these factors. from a perception point of view, a stressed syllable is more prominent than an unstressed syllable if it is louder, longer, higher in pitch and/or the vowel in a stressed syllable is different in quality from neighboring vowels. from a production point of view, stressed syllables involve a greater amount of muscular energy where the lungs produce higher subglottal pressure.[14] word stress is the term given to the …
