2. A stressed syllable is the part of a word that you say with greater emphasis than the other syllables. Alternatively, an unstressed syllable is a part of a word that you say with less emphasis than the stressed syllable(s). However, you don't emphasize or deemphasize syllables using volume; instead, you use pitch

3. How do I know if a syllable is stressed or unstressed? A stressed syllable combines five features: It is l-o-n-g-e-r - com p-u-ter. It is LOUDER - comPUTer . It has a change in pitch from the syllables coming before and afterwards. ... It is said more clearly -The vowel sound is purer. ... It uses larger facial movements - Look in the mirror when you say the word.

4. What is an example of a stressed and unstressed syllable? So, for example in the word 'ahead', 'HEAD' is the stressed syllable and the 'a' at the beginning is un-stressed - 'a. HEAD'. In 'amended', 'MEN' is the stressed syllable the 'a' and the ' ded ' at the end are unstressed - 'a. MEN

5. What is unstressed and stressed syllables pattern? Meter is a regular pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables that defines the rhythm of some poetry. These stress patterns are defined in groupings, called feet, of two or three syllables. A pattern of unstressed-stressed, for instance, is a foot called an iamb.

6. What is stressed vs unstressed in phonetics? Stressed vowel sounds are longer, louder, and/or higher in pitch than vowel sounds without stress. You can use just one of these features, or any combination of these features at the same time. Overall, stressed sounds are “stronger” than unstressed sounds.

7. What is the main difference between stressed and unstressed syllables? A stressed syllable is the part of a word that you say with greater emphasis than the other syllables. Alternatively, an unstressed syllable is a part of a word that you say with less emphasis than the stressed syllable(s). However, you don't emphasize or deemphasize syllables using volume; instead, you use pitch.

8. What are the rules of stress? A few things to remember: 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. Only vowels are stressed, not consonants. The vowels in English are a, e, i , o, and u. ... There are many exceptions to the rules.

9. These weak form words are what we call function words, and typically they are words such as: auxiliar verbs am, are, be, been, can, could, do, does, has, had, shall, should, was, were, would, prepositions at, for, from, of, to, pronouns he, her, him, his, me, she, them, us, we, you,

10. What are the weak and strong forms of words? In one sentence a word might be easier to hear or said with emphasis. In another sentence the same word might be less easy to hear and not said with emphasis. We call the first one the strong form and the second one the weak form of the word.
