ABSTRACT

     Stress is the result of pronunciation activity that emphasizes a sound component (Syllable) of a unit of language in communication – speech or singing. In polysyllabic languages, as in European languages, most words have two or more syllables, so words usually have fixed stress in a certain syllable, according to the habits of native speakers; although stress can sometimes be altered, clicking on a suitable syllable depends on the intention of the speaker or contexts. Vietnamese is an isolating language, though there are also many multi-syllables words, it is still a combination of monosyllabic elements, so stress is not studied much. But in Vietnamese language studies, Professor Cao Xuan Hao is a minority of people interested in the specific type of accent in Vietnamese. That is the word stress in the utterance.

Keywords: stress, polysyllabic, monosyllabic, Vietnamese, Cao Xuan Hao.
