Meaning of Stress

Stress, in English Language, is the extra force (emphasis) placed on the part of a word to receive strong pronunciation than the other. In English, the part or chunk that the word is divisible into is called a syllable. Therefore, a particular syllable (sound unit) that is pronounced more than the other is called the stressed syllable. In speech, stress helps us to differentiate the meaning of a word that has the same spelling but a different meaning and belongs to a different part of speech.

NOTE: A noun is stressed on the first syllable and a verb is stressed on the second syllable of two-syllable words.

NOTE: A one-syllable word cannot be stressed in English because it has only one syllable; stress can only start from two syllables.
