Quy tắc đánh trọng âm, phát âm từ phức

Chúng ta đã có bài học về từ phức. Hôm nay chúng ta cùng học quy tắc đánh trọng âm và phát âm từ phức tiếng Anh.

Types of complex word:
•Words made from a basic word form ( which we will call the stem with the addition of an affix ) 

• Compound words which are made of two ( or occasionally more) independent English words ( ice-cream, armchair )

The affixes have one of three possible effects on word stress:

– The affix itself receives the primary stress (semi-) + circle → semicircle | ˈsemɪsɜːkl̩ | ; person + nality → personality | ˌpɜːsəˈnælɪti |

– The word is stressed just as if the affix was not there: pleasant [ `pleznt ]; unpleasant [ʌn`pleznt]; market [ `mɑːkɪt ]; marketing [ `mɑːkɪtɪŋ ].

– The stress remains on the stem not the affix, but shift to a different syllable: magnet [ `mægnət ]; magnetic [ mæg`netɪk ]./.
