Syllables and Stress, part 2 ~ The Linguistics Zone

Syllables and Stress, part 2

As mentioned in the previous post on stress, syllable stress can present a difficulty when learning a new language.

Is there an easy rule for determining which syllables are stressed in English? Some languages have predictable stress rules. For instance, in Polish, stress is always on the penultimate (second to the last) syllable. In English, stress and syllable accent is unpredictable. When one learns a new English word, the stress patterns that the word has must be memorized in addition to the definition of the word, rhyming with horizon.

Product naming and pronunciation

In product naming and branding, this is a blessing and a curse: Would you know the correct pronunciation of a name you haven't encountered yet? The intuitive thing to do would be to look for names that are similar to it, but even this technique can throw you for a loop.

Here's an example:
If you never saw the name Verizon before, how do you think it would be pronounced? You would probably look for a similar word. But is it more like Amazon or horizon? In both cases the stressed syllables are different! A few years ago, I've met some people that would pronounce Verizon (VER-iz-on) with the accent on the first syllable (like the first syllable in the word "very") so that it would rhyme with Amazon. You would eventually find out (through commercials or whatnot) that the proper pronunciation is (ver-EYE-zin) with the accent on the second syllable.

Stress variation and homographs

A word's meaning can vary depending on which syllable is stressed, these fall into the category of homographs. This was discussed here: homophones/homographs/homonyms.

There are also words that can be pronounced in different ways, with each of them being acceptable (different stressed syllables).

Examples:
kilometer
Caribbean
caramel

These are not considered homographs since the words have the same meaning no matter which way you say them.

Interesting!

I have another example for ya:

Pecan

I hear that one pronounced different ways all the time as well.

When it comes to most food, I guess stress on the correct syllable isn't so important as how good they actually taste.

Don't you mean the pronunciation, rather than the syllable stressed? Some words have the same stress, but you just pronounce the vowel differently

intresting, would not have thought about it that way myself.

Pecan is a real tough one too!

Agree with website copywriter, the pronunciation is fine as long as food taste good?

As a former Speech Pathologist, I studied and took many classes on how to learn languages, phonetics, etc. English is one of the hardest languages to learn because it is unpredictable and is based on memory. Unlike languages that have a foundation on Latin, English is just kind out there by itself.

Totally informative content that you've got here... I've always been interested in linguistics and find it to be very intriguing.

I do a fair amount of writing myself. I've spent several years in the car business and help people that are looking to purchase a car, but they have bad credit, although my writing is mainly published in the auto categories of web 2.0 properties. That has worked out better for me.

There are a lot of people that have bad credit, that are in need of auto financing, you know.

Well, once again - great content that you've got here and thankful for the opportunity to compliment you on such a nice website.

Though pronunciation is important, you should also consider that not all of us has the same tongue. Like for example in the US alone, not all Americans have the same pronunciation or stress on the same word. It would not be easy to immediately adjust to the right one, since what is right is not always being said. The most important things to learn is to adjust so you can cope with everyone.
