LANGUAGUAGE FOCUS :
PRONUNCIATION
Quy tắc chung nhấn trọng âm của từ có hai âm tiết.
Nếu từ đó là danh từ hoặc tính từ: Nhấn trọng âm vào âm tiết thứ nhất. 
Ví dụ: better, sister, circle, person, early, happy, service.-> 1
Ngoại lệ: Âm thứ hai có chứa nguyên âm đôi và dài sẽ nhấn trọng âm ở âm tiết thứ 3.
Ví dụ: design, balloon, estate, mistake, alone, asleep, today, tonight.-> 2
Nếu từ đó là Động từ: Nhấn trọng âm vào âm tiết thứ 2.
Ví dụ: invest, collect, connect.
Ngoại lệ: Âm thứ hai là nguyên âm ngắn và kết thúc bởi 1 phụ âm ( hoặc không có phụ âm) có dạng
er, en, ish, age ở cuối thường nhấn trọng âm ở âm tiết thứ nhất.
Ví dụ: enter, open, manage, happen, answer, listen, finish, study, offer, damage.
(*) Một số ghi chú:
Các từ hai âm tiết tận cùng bằng ever thì nhấn vào chính ever.
Ví dụ: forever, however, whenever, whatever, whoever.
Từ kết thúc bằng các đuôi how, what, where, sẽ nhấn trọng âm ở âm đầu tiên.
Ví dụ: anywhere, somehow c.
Âm tiết cuối chứa /ow/ sẽ nhấn trọng âm ở âm thứ nhất.
Ví dụ: borrow/ ‘bɒr.əʊ, follow/’fɒlou, narrow/’nær.əʊ
(allow là ngoại lệ vì chữ “a” đứng đầu thường không được nhấn trọng âm).
2. Quy tắc nhấn trọng âm dành cho từ có hai cách phát âm khác nhau.
a.  Từ có hai âm tiết
Nhấn trọng âm đôi khi phức tạp hơn các từ có hậu tố, nhiều hơn 2 âm tiết, vì chỉ với một từ nhưng lại
có hai cách phát âm khác nhau, phụ thuộc vào loại từ. Tùy theo ngữ cảnh, tình huống, hay vị trí từ
trong câu, nhấn trọng âm của từ sẽ được nhấn ở vị trí khác nhau. Ví dụ: +) present (n)/ ‘prezənt: món
quà, hiện tại. +) present (v)/ pri’zent: giới thiệu, tặng. I will present (v) you a present (n)
b. Danh sách từ có hai cách nhấn trọng âm
5
Danh sách từ có hai cách nhấn trọng âm: record, conflict, project, permit, suspect, progress, object,
contest, increase, accent, produce, refund, upset, transfer.
(*) Một số ghi chú:
Từ có hai âm tiết bắt đầu bằng “a” thường nhấn trọng âm vào âm tiết thứ hai. Ví dụ: about, again,
alone, achieve, alive, asleep, abuse, afraid.
Các đại từ phản thân luôn nhấn trọng âm ở âm tiết cuối cùng Ví dụ: myself, himself, themselves,
yourself.
Từ hai âm tiết có chữ cái kết thúc là “y” và trọng âm được nhấn ở âm tiết thứ hai, chữ “y” sẽ được
phát âm thành /ai/. Ví dụ: reply/rə’plai, apply, imply, rely, ally, supply, comply, deny, defy.
Từ bắt đầu bằng every sẽ nhấn trọng âm vào chính every. Ví dụ: every/ ‘evri, everyday, body, thing,
where.
Trọng âm theo phiên âm
Quy tắc
- Trọng âm không bao giờ rơi vào âm /ə/hoặc là âm /əʊ/.
Ví dụ:
mother / ˈmʌðə /: trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ nhất vì âm thứ hai có chứa âm / ə /. hotel / ˌhəʊˈtel /:
trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ hai vì âm thứ nhất có chứa âm / əʊ /.
*Lưu ý: Nếu như trong một từ có chứa cả hai loại âm là / ə / và / əʊ / thì trọng âm rơi vào phần có
chứa
âm / əʊ /.
Ví dụ:
suppose / səˈpəʊz /: trọng âm rơi vào âm thứ hai. ago / əˈɡəʊ /: trọng âm rơi vào âm thứ hai.
opponent / əˈpəʊnənt /: trọng âm rơi vào âm thứ hai.
-Trọng âm thường rơi vào nguyên âm dài/nguyên âm đôi hoặc âm cuối kết thúc với nhiều hơn một
phụ âm.
Ví dụ:
disease/ dɪˈziːz /: trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ hai vì âm thứ hai có chứa nguyên âm dài /i:/.
explain / ɪksˈpleɪn /: trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ hai vì âm thứ hai có chứa nguyên âm đôi /ei/.
comprehend / ˌkɒmprɪˈhend /: trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ ba vì âm thứ ba kết thúc với hai phụ
âm /nd/.
- Nếu tất cả các âm mà ngắn hết thì trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ nhất.
Ví dụ:
happy / ˈhæpi /: trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết đầu, vì cả / æ / và /i/ đều là nguyên âm ngắn.
animal / ˈænɪml̩ /: trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết đầu vì cả / ae /, /i/, / ə / đều là nguyên âm ngắn.
