PHY205 - PDE Suprasegmental Phonology I (Stress)

This E-Lecture discusses the effect of stress in Present-Day English. After an overview of stress from a phonetic and phonological point of view, aspects such as lexical stress, shift stress and weaking are investigated and exemplified. Furthermore, the stress-timed character of PDE is compared with Italian, one of the best known syllable-timed language.

So funny! I love these courses.

[@AkarslanAkademi]

I was surprised by the shift in the predicative and attributive uses of the adjectivals. I loved the way you present them in an easy-to-grasp manner. Thanks!

[@Psychia3]

I really appreciate this lecture! I've been struggling with the metalanguage of stress patterns and it was presented in a way that everything became clear to me! Thank you!

[@shinecowinshe23]

Thank you Sir for making me understand Stress in Phonology. This is my main topic in the reports and it helps me a lot.

[@Tayakai]

I liked very much the part when you talked about 'stress shift', some dictionaries indicate it with a black triangle symbol

[@knillink]

I never noticed Shift Stress as a thing. Very cool.

Thank you so much

[@Rimethurse]

I've actually heard, in my Southern Ontario region, the syllable 'on' and 'no' weakened in especially quick conversation, but obviously the video cannot account for every one of the myriad English dialects.

[@ahmedmohamed-sz6pi]

alaa sami , the answer is so easy just try to utter the word again and u will see the most length letter in the word was /k/ so that we put stress before it.

[@alaa_sami18]

I have a question : why do we put stress mark before /k/ in the word Encounter / ɪŋ`kaʊntə / Please I need to answer

[@jesonsambilad8751]

[@AWS137]

[@nardeenali7160]

[@Yngorius]

8:58 shouldnt "nobody" be also a weakened word? Cheers on the video btw :)

[@oer-vlc]

Potential weak forms are monosyllabic.

[@allyouneed4354]

[@jiggyboy4514]

[@sadkhazim9582]

thank you very much

[@alaa_sami18]

I have a question : why do we put stress mark before /k/ in the word Encounter / ɪŋ`kaʊntə / Please I need to answer

[@AhmedKAbbas-tu6ik]

because it is the start of the second syllable

[@ayuliskinasih7506]

As a verb, the stress should be placed in the penult syllable (/kaʊn/). Meanwhile, as a noun, the stress should be placed in the ult position (/tə/). But since /tə/ is a light syllable, so the stress is moved to the penult (/kaʊn/). Therefore, "encounter" as verb or noun are both stressed on the penult and it is indicated by the stress mark before /k/.
