important for speakers of other languages whose stress rules are more regular and/or different and thus interfere with comprehensibility. the aim of the paper is to show the importance of stress and discus how different positions of stress affect the meaning. the tasks of the paper is to develop teaching materials on english word stress that will enable learners of english to predict which syllable in most english words will receive the primary word stress. the object of the research is to recognize and be familiar with word stress, to identify affixes in english and to identify stress patterns. the subject of the research is to recognize the importance of word stress in english. the theoretical value is to provide students and/or teachers with accessible and sufficient word stress rules so that students can learn to predict where the primary stress falls in a very large number of english words. …

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 …
