Abstract

Phonological acquisition is the foundation of second language acquisition and plays an important role in the learning of English by university students. Although many non-English majors can achieve high scores in various English examinations, they have problems with their speaking and listening. One of the reasons for this situation is misplaced stress. A comparison with native English speakers revealed some problems in the acquisition of phrasal stress by non-English majors: high pitch, long duration of pronunciation, strong and unstable sound intensity, etc. This study is an attempt to offer some suggestions for the acquisition of stress by non-English majors.
