2 groups: Grammar vs. Meaning in Syllable Stress

2 groups: Grammar vs. Meaning in Syllable Stress

Here are 2 example groups where a change in syllable stress DOES equal a change in the language.

Sometimes stressing a different syllable tells us the part of speech the word is. For instance, OBject and obJECT have different grammatical functions. The first pattern is the noun, and the second signifies the verb form.

Other times, stressing a different syllable actually makes it a different word. For example, CONtest is 'a race, conflict, or other competition between rivals, as for a prize.' However, to conTEST something means 'to argue against; or dispute'. Here, there is also a change in grammar, but the words have very different meanings.

I don't have to tell you how effective it is to have the RIGHT training materials! I spent hours looking online and I couldn't find the right ones to teach with. So, I did the research and I made my own accent training materials!
