Letter-to-sound and lexical stress
|
|
|
|
|
|
It should be noted that stress may be further reduced in PHONO1 (see Chap-
|
|
|
ter 8) according to parts of speech and phrasing.
|

|
|
|
|
6.4 An example
|
|
|
|
|
|
Figure 6-4 is an example of the application of both the letter-to-sound and the
|
|
|
stress rules. The results after each of the stages of the letter-to-sound rules, and
|
|
|
after each of the stress rules, are given. There are two complete cycles of the
|
|
|
cyclic stress rules, followed by the noncyclic rules. The rules are followed by ap-
|
|
|
plication of syllabification rules.
