TOPIC: Words of Three Syllables, Stressed on First, Second or Third Syllables.
Words of three or more syllables can also be referred to as polysyllabic words.
Although there are no clearly defined rules governing the stress pattern of words of three or more syllables, some guidelines could be devised to help assign primary pitch prominence to the correct syllable. Some words become very long when prefixes and suffixes are added. Some polysyllabic words may end in -ing, -ed, -ly, -al, -ic, -ian, -ion, or -ity while the others may have such prefixes as un-, in-, ir-, mat-, pro-, and dis-. These affixes are not usually stressed in English.
