1 . Question

Put these words in order of how many syllables they have, starting with the word that has one syllable.

  • unbelievable
  • information

View Answers:

2 . Question

Read or listen to five words and mark the one that does not have the same number of syllables as the others.

If you’re not certain, listen carefully to the recording, which reflects the most common pronunciation of these words.

3 . Question

Read these phonetic transcriptions of words you saw in the lesson. Which one has the most syllables?

  • /jʊːnɪˈvɜːsɪti/
  • /ˈbrekfəst/
  • /ʌnˈkʌmftəbəl/
  • /saɪənˈtɪfɪk/
  • /fəˈtɒgrəfiː/

Remember that a syllable contains one vowel, which may be a monophthong or pure vowel, or it may be a combination of sounds that glide together (a diphthong or triphthong). Also, look carefully at the phonetic transcription: some letters in the orthographic spelling may be silent, but the phonetic transcription represents the pronunciation exactly – there are no silent letters in phonetics!

4 . Question

Listen to the following words. Which one is not pronounced with three syllables?

https://www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Computer-interested-temperature-photographed-chocolate.wav

(Note that some of these words have syllables that can either be pronounced or be silent: this question refers to how they are pronounced in this recording, so you cannot answer without listening first!)

  • temperature
  • photographed

You must listen to the recording before you answer, because the question asks about the pronunciation of this speaker. It is possible (and correct!) to say some of these words in more than one way.

5 . Question

True or false: stressed syllables are louder than unstressed syllables

6 . Question

True or false: unstressed syllables are not as long as stressed syllables

7 . Question

True or false: the pitch of the voice is lower for stressed syllables than for unstressed syllables

8 . Question

True or false: the stressed syllable in English is underlined in the phonetic transcriptions found in most dictionaries.

9 . Question

Which words are stressed on the first syllable? Choose as many as you think are right.

10 . Question

What type of two-syllable words are usually stressed on the last syllable? Choose as many as you think are right.

11 . Question

Which words are stressed on the last syllable? Choose as many as you think are right.

12 . Question

Which of these nouns are exceptions to the normal rule for two-syllable nouns? Choose as many as you think are exceptions.

In case you need a reminder, here’s the rule: two-syllable nouns are usually stressed on the first syllable.

Some of these words can also be a verb or an adjective, and the pronunciation may differ, but the question asks about nouns, so answer in terms of their pronunciation as nouns.

13 . Question

Which of these words from the lesson is stressed on the first syllable? Choose as many as you think are right.

14 . Question

Where is the stress on the words ‘relation’, ‘discussion’ and ‘optician’?

  • The first syllable

  • The third syllable

1. How to Count Syllables

You’ll learn all about stress in this lesson, but first, we need to talk about syllables . Listen to four words:

Do you know how many syllables these words have? Fast has one syllable: fast. /faːst/ Person has two syllables: per-son. /ˈpɜːsən/ Beautiful has three syllables: beau-ti-ful. /ˈbjʊːtɪfəl/ Information has four syllables: in-for-ma-tion. /ɪnfəˈmeɪʃən/ A syllable has one vowel sound (and only one vowel sound) and one or more consonant sounds. Let’s do some more practice. Look at four more words:

How many syllables do they have? Breakfast has two syllables: break-fast. /ˈbrekfəst/ Banana has three syllables: ba-na-na. /bəˈnaːnə/ Tomorrow has three syllables: to-mor-row. /təˈmɒrəʊ/ University has five syllables: u-ni-ver-si-ty. /jʊːnɪˈvɜːsɪti/ So, this lesson isn’t really about syllables; it’s about stress. What’s the connection between syllables and stress? Think about the word banana. Banana has three syllables.

Do you pronounce all the syllables the same: bah-nah-nah? No, you don’t—one syllable is stronger: ba-NA-na. This is stress. If a word has one syllable, you don’t need to think about stress. But, if a word has two syllables or more, one syllable is always stressed: it has a strong, clear pronunciation.

Let’s practice pronouncing word stress correctly.

2. How to Pronounce Stress

Let’s look at an example you just saw.

Do you remember where the stress is? It’s on the second syllable: ba-NA-na. What makes the stressed syllable different? There are three things you need to do to pronounce stress correctly. One: the stressed syllable should be louder. Two: the stressed syllable should be a little higher. Three: the stressed syllable should be a little longer in time. Let’s practice. First, listen to three words you saw before:

  • inforMAtion

Here, I was exaggerating the stress so that you can hear it clearly. You don’t need to pronounce the stress this strongly. However, when you practice, it’s a good idea to try to overpronounce the stress a little bit. This will make sure that you are pronouncing it correctly. So, where is the stress in these three words? Listen again, and this time, repeat the words after me: PERson, BEAUtiful, inforMAtion. Let’s try one more time: PERson, BEAUtiful, inforMAtion. How was that? Could you pronounce the stress clearly? Next, let’s look at four more words you saw before:

This time, I pronounced the stress in a more natural way. Could you hear it? Where is the stress in these four words? Listen again, and this time, repeat the words after me: BREAKfast, baNAna, toMOrrow, uniVERsity. Let’s try one more time: BREAKfast, baNAna, toMOrrow, uniVERsity.

When you look up a word, you can find the stress by looking at the phonetic transcription. The thing that looks like an apostrophe /ˈ/ shows you where the stress is. When you see this apostrophe, the next syllable is the stressed syllable. When you write down new English vocabulary , make sure you record the stress, too. You can put a mark over the stressed syllable, or underline it.

Syllables and Word Stress - definition image

At this point, you might be thinking: are there any rules about word stress? How do I know where the word stress is if I don’t have a dictionary? Let’s talk about that.

3. Stress in Two-Syllable Words

We’ve got good news and bad news for you. The good news is that there are some rules about word stress in English. The bad news is that the rules don’t cover everything, and even the rules which you do have don’t work all the time. Here’s one rule which is quite useful. It’s about words with two syllables. Look at five words:

All these words have two syllables. Where’s the stress? In all the words, the stress is on the 1st syllable. There’s a reason for this: can you work it out? What connects these five words? These words are all nouns. Nouns with two syllables usually have stress on the 1st syllable. Let’s practice saying the words together. Repeat after me: PICture, MInute, MOney, DOCtor, WAter. This is also true for most adjectives with two syllables:

What about verbs? Look at some examples and try to work out the rule:

Can you hear the stress? The stress is on the second syllable. Let’s practice saying the words together. Repeat after me: deCIDE, forGET, exPLAIN, arRIVE, rePEAT. So, most nouns and adjectives with two syllables have the stress on the first syllable, and most verbs have the stress on the second syllable. Be careful, because there are many common exceptions, like hoTEL, HAPpen, exAM, or FINish.

What about longer words? Are there any rules you can use to find the stress?

4. Stress in Longer Words

syllable stress presentation

In three-syllable words, the stress can be anywhere; it can be at the beginning:

It can be in the middle:

It can also be at the end, although this is less common:

Let’s practice! Repeat after me: BEAUtiful, toMOrrow, emploYEE. Let’s try three more: ANyone, comPUter, JapanESE. In words with four or more syllables, the stress is almost always in the middle of the word, not on the first or last syllable. For example:

  • comMUnicate
  • phoTOgrapher

Try saying the words after me: inforMAtion, comMUnicate, phoTOgrapher. There are some other rules which can help you to find the stress in longer words. Let’s look together. If a word ends -tion, -sion or -cian, then the stress is always on the second last syllable:

Can you think of three more words like this? There are many, but here are three more suggestions: situAtion, reVIsion, elecTRIcian. The same rule is true for words ending -ic:

Again, all these words have the stress on the second last syllable. If a word ends with the letter -y and has three or more syllables, then the stress is two syllables before the last one. For example:

  • possiBILity

That means, if a word has three syllables and ends in -y, the stress is almost always on the first syllable:

There’s one more rule which could help you here: if a longer word is made from a shorter root word, then the stress is generally in the same place as the root word. For example:

  • COMfortable
  • unCOMfortable
  • COMfortably

In all these words, the stress is in the same place as the root word, COMfort. However, the rules you saw before take priority. This means that the stress can move when you make a longer word from a root word. For example:

  • PHOtograph -> phoTOgraphy -> photoGRAphic
  • eCOnomy -> ecoNOmic
  • EDucate -> eduCAtion

Okay, now you’ve learned about stress, how to pronounce it, and how you can find the stress in different words. But, there’s still one more very important thing you should know about.

5. Contrasts and Vowel Reductions

Want to know a secret that will improve your English pronunciation really fast? Here’s the most important point about word stress: it’s about contrast. That means, when you pronounce word stress, it’s not just about the stressed syllable. You also need to think about the unstressed syllables. Remember that to pronounce stress, you make the stressed syllable louder, higher and longer. Stress is about contrast, so the opposite is true for unstressed syllables: you need to make them quieter, lower and shorter.

Let’s look at three words you’ve already practiced:

To pronounce the words well, you need to think about the unstressed syllables, too. Often, the vowel sounds in the unstressed syllables are reduced to schwa sounds–/ə/, or short /ɪ/ sounds. ‘Reduced’ means the vowel sounds are shorter and weaker. For example, in the word banana, the stress is on the second syllable: ba-NA-na. The stressed ‘a’ has an /aː/ sound, but the other two ‘a’s’ have schwa sounds: b/ə/nan/ə/. In the word person, the first syllable is stressed, and the second syllable has a schwa sound: pers/ə/n. And in information, the syllables before and after the stressed syllable reduce to schwas: inf/ə/mat/ə/n.

Get more practice with vowels in this Oxford Online English lesson: How to Pronounce Vowel Sounds .

Unstressed syllables can’t always be reduced, but they often can be. If a vowel sound is reduced, it most often shortens to a schwa sound. We’ll finish with a simple tip to help you pronounce word stress clearly and naturally. Focus on the stressed syllable, and put more stress on it than you think you need. Pronounce the unstressed syllables as fast as you can. If you do this, you’ll have contrast in your pronunciation, and this will make your word stress sound natural and clear.

Presentation Transcript

Syllable Structure in English Lets study it…

Words can be cut up into units called syllables. • Humans seem to need syllables as a way of segmenting the stream of speech and giving it a rhythm of strong and weak beats. • Syllables exist only to make speech easier for the brain to process. • A word contains at least one syllable.

Syllables and their parts • The parts are onset and rhyme; within the rhyme we find the nucleus and coda. • Not all syllables have all parts; the smallest possible syllable contains a nucleus only. • A syllable may or may not have an onset and a coda.

Onset (O) • Onset: the beginning sounds of the syllable; the ones preceding the nucleus. These are always consonants in English. The nucleus is  a vowel in most cases, although the consonants [ r ], [ l ], [ m ], [ n ], and the velar nasal (the 'ng' sound) can also be the nucleus of a syllable.

Rhyme (R) • Rhyme (or rime): the rest of the syllable, after the onset (the underlined portions of the words above). The rhyme can also be divided up: Rhyme = nucleus + coda

Nucleus (N) • is the core or essential part of a syllable. A nucleus must be present in order for a syllable to be present. • In English and most other languages, most syllable nuclei are vowels. • The English liquids [ r  l ] and the nasals [ m  n ] can be the nuclei of syllables under certain conditions. [ r ] can be a nucleus as easily as a vowel, in any position: the words 'bird', have [ r ] as the nucleus; in other words, there is no vowel in the pronunciation of these syllables, even though they have one in the spelling.   [brd] • [ l ] and the nasals [ m n ] become syllable nuclei when they follow an alveolar consonant in the last syllable of a word. This happens in the relaxed or casual rather than very formal articulation of the word. Compare casual vs. formal pronunciations of 'button', 'bottle', 'bottom'.

Linguists often use tree diagrams to illustrate syllable structure. 'Flop', for example, would look like this (the word appears in IPA symbols, not English spelling). 's' = 'syllable'; 'O' = 'onset'; 'R' = 'rhyme'; 'N' = 'nucleus'; 'C' = 'coda'.  • The syllable node at the top of the tree branches into Onset and Rhyme; the Onset node branches because it contains two consonants, [ f ] and [ l ]. The Rhyme node branches because this syllable has both a nucleus and a coda. •           σ         /     \       O     R       / \    /  \      |   |   N C      |   |    |    |   [ f   l    a  p ]

Steps to determine the diagram: • Determine the nucleus (N) • Add Rhyme ( R ) on the ordinate of the nucleus • Determine the onset (O) and the coda (C).

If a syllable has the coda, it is called as closed syllable Example : cap, sit, man • If a syllable doesn’t have the coda it is called as open syllable. Example : he, she, me
