What Do You Mean by Stressed Syllables?
They tend to transpire at regular intervals, and they are usually
pronounced with greater force and length as well as with higher pitch.
A syllable is a unit of organization for a sequence of speech sounds. For example, the word water is composed of two syllables: wa and ter. A syllable is typically made up of a syllable nucleus (most often a vowel) with optional initial and final margins (typically, consonants).
In linguistics, stress is the relative emphasis that may be given to certain syllables in a word, or to certain words in a phrase or sentence. The term is also used for similar patterns of phonetic prominence inside syllables. The word accent is often used with this sense, but it may be used for other kinds of prominence; stress specifically may thus be called stress accent or dynamic accent.
syllables is unit of sound made from a single vowel, or single vowel/consonant combination - note that syllables never have more then one vowel sound in them.
The part of a word that you give the most emphasis to. For example, the following capitalized syllables are stressed: SOfa TELephone celEBrity comPUter aWARD maTURE
You can tell which syllables are stressed in a word by saying different parts of the word loudly, and seeing which makes sense. For example: --soFA doesn't sound right, but SOfa does. --celebritY doesn't sound right, but celEBrity does. --MAture doesn't sound right, but maTURE does.
