1 INTRODUCTION
This unit presents a theoretical background to the discussion of the stress in English: the stress rules in English and the stress marking of English words and sentences.2 OBJECTIVES
At the end of this unit, learners will be able to explain: what stress is diacritics to mark stress the importance of stress to English some common English Stress Rules (ESR) manners which awards stress marks on English words and sentences3.1 WHAT STRESS IS
As a linguistic feature, stress concerns with the prominence given to a syllable of an utterance relative to the other syllables in the utterance. This prominence may be marked by higher intensity (loudness), increased fundamental frequency (pitch) length, etc. occasioned by some organs of speech. Christophersen (1956: 153) says that a certain syllable uttered with great energy. Fudge (1984: 1) says that stress means essentially that one phonological element is singled out within another, longer, phonological element. Sentence-stress involves the picking out of one word or phrase within the sentence; this word or phrase is usually given special emphasis of some kind in pronunciation. The three levels of stress are (a) the main or primary stress, the highest and is marked by a short upper vertical line as diacritic represented as ޖ in prominence and is marked by a short low vertical line represented as ޙ stress, the least in prominence and is not marked or at best be represented by a full stop. A moderate English word of four syllables has its syllables named as, initial, antepenultimate, penultimate and final. The word has four syllables:ԥޖݜԥܼ

In English, certain rules are applicable to assist in the determination of what syllable of a word is to be stressed, these rules help, to a large extent, the predictability of the occurrences of stress markings in English. Autosegmental phonologists like Goldsmith (1976, 1995) and metrical phonologists such as Liberman & Prince (1976), Hogg & McCully (1987), Jolayemi (2001) and Jolayemi (2006). It is from their perspectives that I will introduce to you a few ESR that can assist you in predicting the stressed syllable. The working guidelines and formalised rules in stress marking are as follows: a. Unless otherwise stated, only strong syllables can be stressed in an English wordԥܼܤޖԥܼܤ
because it is a strong syllable. So that we ޖޖ referred to as the Main Stress Rule (MSR). b. A weak syllable can only be stressed when the previous one or two syllables cannot be stressed. c. All the theories of phonology agree that words that may attract a primary stress are in the categories of noun, adjective, verb and adverb. d. The generative phonologists advise that when a syllable is stressed, all the other syllables in the word must be distressed or weakened (Chomsky & Halle, 1968). e. The metrical phonologists state that the final syllable of a noun or adjective is we want to apply ESR. f. They also say that application of ESR should start at the extreme right. g. The metrical phonologists also state that stress marking, or the application ofESR must start from the extreme right.
h. Generally speaking most nouns and adjectives tend to have stress towards the initial position because as the metrical phonologists have stated, the last syllable of ESR. So do not stress the final syllable of words in these categories (Hogg and McCully, 1987). i. For words in the categories of verbs and adverbs, the rule states that the final syllable is often stressed, if and only if it is not a weak syllable or a syllableԥݜ
