ASPECT: Speech Work

TOPIC: Words of Four Syllables, Stress on First, Second or Third Syllables

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, -ial, -ic, -ian, -ion or -ity while others may have such prefixes as un-, im-, ir-, mal-, pro- and dis-. These affixes are not usually stressed in English. Besides, the presence of some suffixes enables a speaker to determine the stressed syllable in a word. We can therefore make the following rules based on the suffix that ends a word.
