Описание:
In the first chapter of my work I give a brief overview on word stress in general. In the next chapter I discuss the quite unique stress system of present day English by examining one by one the separate word classes and also the morphologically complex words. In the following five chapters I discuss the evolution of the English stress system, starting from the "pre-English" - the Germanic - period, and then finally arriving to Later Modern English. I also try to show, from time to time, that change in the English stress system is not an isolated phenomenon and that how other linguistic - and also non-linguistic - changes brought about changes in the stress system and how stress change caused other changes in the language. Finally, in the last chapter, I give a short summary of what has been said and I draw my conclusion.Похожие книги
