    1. Eman Baghlaf Lecture-5- Levels of Stress

    2. Levels of stress : 1- Primary stress In any word with two or more syllables, you will always pick out one syllable and pronounce it with more prominence than the other syllables. For example, with a word like 'annoy' [?'n??], you will emphasize the second syllable.

    3. 2- Secondary stress You might find that another syllable has a kind of intermediate stress--not as strong as the primary stress, but still clearly more stressed than others. This is called 'secondary stress'.

    4. For example, the word “economic “. The primary stress is clearly on the third syllable ([n?]);but the first syllable [e] also has more stress than the remaining syllables. 'economic' would be transcribed like this: [,?k?'n?m?k ]

    5. 3-Unstressed The absence of any recognizable amount of prominence.

    6. In a word , we have different divisions Example: Unbelievable It has a root that is (believe ) It has a prefix that is( un ) It has a suffix that is( ble ) Prefixes and suffixes are called affixation .

    8. Prefixes : They come at the beginning of the word, and they change the meaning. -Examples: Virus – antivirus Agree- disagree Legal-illegal Different –indifferent Happy- unhappy

    9. Suffixes: They come at the end at the word , and they change the part of speech or grammar. -Examples: Act (v) – active (adj) Improve (v)- improvement (n) Fluent (adj)- fluently (adv)
