How do you stress a syllable?

Answer 1

By just looking at a word, there is no way for you to know what the stressed syllables are. You should look up the word in a dictionary: it will tell you the pronunciation of the word, along with stressed/unstressed syllables.

Answer 2

PRONUNCIATION OF 'RESEARCH'

(noun, verb): re-surch or re-surch. Both forms are listed in the Cambridge Dictionary.

Answer 3

You find the unstressed syllable by elimination. Find the stressed syllable first, and then the others will be the unstressed ones.

A stressed syllable is the one you put all the sound into, like SYLlable. So the first syllable is stressed, and the final two (lab and le) are UNstressed.

Other examples:

* PREsident (si and dent are unstressed). * aMErica (a and ri and ca are unstressed). * SingaPORE (Sing and a are unstressed). * PAkiSTAN (ki is unstressed. Some words have two stressed syllables, like Pakistan.)

Answer 4

There is no standard way (yet) to represent stressed syllables in written form.

The dictionary will identify it by putting a single apostrophe (') before the stressed syllable.

In spoken English, it is louder than (all) other syllables.

There is generally only one stressed syllable per word.
