 STRESS
Stress is the relative emphasis that may be
given to certain syllables in a word, or to
certain words in a phrase or sentence.
 Stress is the degree of
emphasis given a sound
or syllable in speech, also
called lexical stress or
word stress.
 For example:
We're going to record a record. The two
similar words are stressed differently
the first record is stressed on the second
syllable whereas the second record is
stressed on the first syllable.
