Topic-082: Stress
Stress is a term used in phonetics to refer to the degree of force (for making it louder and longer) used in producing a syllable. The usual distinction is between stressed
and unstressed syllables
, the former being more prominent than the latter (and marked in transcription
with a raised vertical line
, [ˈ]. This prominence is usually due to an increase in loudness
of the stressed syllable
, but increases in length and often pitch may also contribute to the overall impression of prominence. Stressed
syllables are produced with
greater effort
(force) than unstressed and stressed syllables tend to be longer than the unstressed. In terms
of its linguistic function
, stress is often treated under two different headings word stress (lexical stress) and sentence stress (emphatic stress.
