Abstract
The combination of phonological knowledge with rhythm and English stress rules is one of the solutions for English stress problems facing Vietnamese students. From the phonetic experiment, some types of stress mistakes made by Vietnamese students were discovered. The hypothesis is that the English Rhythmic patterns and English stress rules will help students to solve their stress problems. However, the English stress rules are so complicated. Therefore, based on the main rhythmic pattern, the key for stress rules has been raised to simplify the way to recognize stressed syllables. The final target is to help Vietnamese students identify English words through different ways of stress placement in order to increase their pronunciation ability as well as catching the main idea in the conversation to improve their communicative skill in English.
Highlights
No one can deny that every language in the world has its own characteristic speech rhythm
“English is a Stress-timed language, with the rhythmic pattern based on the regular repetition of the stressed syllables
PATTERN Stress-timed language, with the rhythmic pattern based on the regular repetition of the stressed syllables {F = [S W]} F = Foot S = strong W = weak
Summary
No one can deny that every language in the world has its own characteristic speech rhythm. English tends to be a stress-timed language with rhythmic patterns based on a fairly regular recurrence of stressed syllables [3]. Vietnamese language has mono-syllabic words while English words are multi-syllabic. They are the main reasons leading to stress problems facing Vietnamese students. To solve this problem, it is important for students to know the different rhythmic patterns between Vietnamese and English. The English stress rules are so complicated that it is not easy for Vietnamese students to recognizer stress syllables in English multi-syllabic words. The paper aim to simplify the English stress rules mainly based on the English rhythmic characteristics and types of English stress mistakes recognized through phonetic experiment made by Vietnamese students
