    1. Counting Syllables

    2. Mouth Yoga

    3. STRESS

    4. Words and Sentences


    TAKE NOTES!!!
    Can you count syllables?

    The longer the word the more syllables there are.

    A syllable is a basic unit of speech generally containing


    only one vowel sound. The vowel may stand alone, have a
    consonant in front of it and/or have a consonant at the
    end.

    For Example:

    Vowel - 2 syllables VO - WEL


    Consonant - 3 syllables CON - SO - NANT
    Speech - 1 syllable SPEECH
    Accent - 2 syllables AC - CENT

    WHAT IS STRESS ?
    STRESS when speaking is what we give emphasis or importance to.

    At the single word level and single syllable level there is stress only
    in one place or on the whole word.

    For Example:

    Cat
    Milk
    Read
    Write
    Run
    Play
     Stress at the word level is
    generally on the first syllable of
    the word. This is due to the
    Germanic language base to
    English. However, due to other
    language influences such as
    French, Latin, Greek, etcetera, the
    stress in an English word may
    vary.

     eager engineer Egyptian unique


    Suffixes create
    movement of stress
    or a change in the
    melody/rhythm of
    the word.
    Examples of suffixes creating
    movement of stress.

    democrat democratic democracy


    empath empathic
    empathy empathetic
    sympathy sympathetic
    photograph photographic photography
    Rules of Word Stress
    Rule 1: Two-syllable Words
    • In most two syllable nouns and adjectives, the first syllable

    takes on the stress.


    Examples:
    - Sámple
    - Cárton
    - Cólor
    - Ráiny
    • In most two syllable verbs and prepositions, the stress is on the

    second syllable.
    Examples:
    - reláx
    - Recéipt
    - diréct
    - amóng
    Rules of Word Stress

    Rule 2: Words Ending in IC, ION, IA, IAL, UAL,


    IAN, IAR, ULAR, IENCE, IENCY, IENT, IANCE,
    IUM, IOUS, EOUS, UOUS

    The stress is going to come on the syllable right before


    the suffix.
    Example:
     Phoneùtic
     Educaùtion
     Magneùsia
     Mateùrial
     Effícient
    Rules of Word Stress
    Rule 3: Words ending in ADE, EE, ESE, EER, OO,
    OON, ETTE, ESQUE
    The primary stress is actually placed on the suffix.

    Example:
     Charaùde
     Refereùe
     Vietnameùse
     Engineùer
     Taboùo
     Balloùon
     Mignomeùtte
     Burleùsque
    Rules of Word Stress
    Rule 4: Words Ending in OUS, ATE, TUDE, ITY, ETY, ICAL,
    LOGY, GRAPHY, METRY, NOMY
    You put the stress on the third syllable from the last one.

    Example:
     Adveùnturous
     Consíderate
     Aùltitude
     Varíety
     Capaùcity
     Mechaùnical
     Astroùlogy
     Paleoùgraphy
     Calorímetry
     Antínomy
    Let the Games Begin
    Word Stress for Compound Words
    1. Compound Nouns
    In a compound noun, the first word
    usually takes on the stress.

    Examples:
    SEA-food
    ICE-land
    TOOTH-paste
    Word Stress for Compound Words
    2. Compound adjectives
    Often, hyphens are used in compound
    adjectives. In compound adjectives, the
    stress is placed within the second word.

    ten-MEter
    rock-SOlid
    Fifteen-MInute
