DEFINITION OF WORD STRESS

    Word stress is the emphasis on the sound of a word have more than one syllable, not all syllables are pronounced with the same degree applies.  According to Bergem (1993) word stress, a word is considered as a whole unit and not as a string of phonemes which are recognized individually and then combine into words.  Pressure is some research has shows the advantage information of the stressed syllable more yang not pressurized.  The number of candidate words is smaller when searching in a based lexicon on stressed words rather than when. It is based on the without syllable pressure words.  Thus, the uniqueness of words in terms of their composition Phonemics are primarily defined by their stressed syllables. In English, every word has a syllable that is given emphasis.

     Stress itself is a vowel sound on a syllable that should be sounded high, long, or loud.  This emphasis can create a rhythm Language.  This is especially important when native speakers want to understand a word deeply the English we speak.  Stress or emphasis on syllables in the language England is not always the same.  Emphasis usually occurs at the beginning, in the middle, and even often times on the last syllable.  Sometimes we can also estimate the location emphasis of a word based on word type.

Menurut (Simarmata) rules of word stress in English: 

1.  A word can only have one stress. In a very long word you can have a secondary stress but it is always a much smaller stress. 
2.  Only vowels are stressed, not consonants. The vowels in English are a, e, i, o, and u. The consonants are all the other letters. 
3. One syllable – stressed. All one syllable words have the stress on the one syllable. The intonation should go down. 
4. Stress on first syllable. 
5. Most 2 –syllable nouns have stress on first syllable. 
6. Most 2-syllable adjectives have stress on first syllable. 
7. Stress on last syllable. Most 2-syllable verbs have stress on last syllable. 
8. Stress which determine verb or noun of the same words.

    The smallest domain in which the contras berween stressed and unstressed syllables surfaces is the word. The characteristic patterning of these two kinds of syllables is commonly called word at. In some Languages, describing word stress is a simple affair there is one general phonological rule. For instance, in Finnish and Canch it is always the Krut vytiable in a word which receives the main stress, while in Polish it is the last but one In the case of Spanish the rule is somewhat more detailed but still very general stress the penultimate syllable if the word ends in a vows, P, oral otherwise stress the last wyllable. In such a case we can assign word stress, even if we do not know what the words

    English wond-stress is fixed in the sense that every word has as "own" stress pattern which is an important part of its identity (together with its characteristic sounds and in meaning). Note that very general stress rules (as in Finnish do not hire this identity creating effect because erry word in the language has the same. For the assignment of word stress in several languages, we aim to find out which part of the word is a suffix or pecfix, and what is meant by Germanic stress as an example.  The stress is usually on the word stem.  In practice this often means that the first syllable of a word is stressed, but prefixes can of course change this for example, German de troun md) vs berden (ver to end"), where veh takes the stress on the vyllable loop. Ward -stress  may also be sensitive to information about word class membership in English, because sta wyllable words will almost always be stressed on the first syllable if they are moum (Mother, Attic, atcord), but if they are verbs it is much more likely.  stressed on the second syllable assow, reco),

    What makes English word stress particularly difficult for foreign learners to overcome is the fact that all of the factors mentioned above come into play to varying degrees in different parts of the vocabulary.  This is what makes English word stress seem chaotic and without rules.  From the point of view of speakers of languages ​​such as Finnish or Polish, major stress can occur almost anywhere in an English word.  In this case, the English word stress seems to be free.  On the other hand, we can put English words together according to their main word stress.

    The magic of English stress is defined in the sense that each word has its "own" pattern of stress which is an important part of its identity (along with its characteristic sound and meaning).  Note that the very general stress rule (as in Finnish doesn't employ this identity creates the effect because the word erry in that language has the same p

 Word stress is a factor of clarity, and is therefore relevant to the dice Recent models of how English speakers recognize words in continuous speech suggest that the recognition process works sequentially, from left to right, one word at a time (Grosjean and Gee 1987).  On the other hand, there is evidence that during the mental search process, the ested syllables are taken from the speech stream and used to change the mental lexicon.  Weak temple dates were selected from a metal lexicon on these syllable thirsts, and then judged by how well they matched the unstressed syllables appearing to their left and right.  If this kind of model is certain, the logical consequence is that the processing time and processing difficulty increase significantly if the stress appears in the wrong place.  In other words, mispronunciation reduces clarity and can even lead to embarrassing misunderstandings
