Stress - is the selection of any component of the speech acoustic methods.
emphasis words or word stress - this is the allocation of a part of one syllable words.The emphasis in the Russian language of force, that is, the stressed syllable is pronounced with greater force the sound.Also it is not subject to reduction, that is, without significant changes to pronounce his sound characteristics, unlike unstressed sounds.
verbal addition, there is also a logical stress.This increase in tone, which highlights the main word or group of words in a sentence, that is, it refers not to a single word, a phrase or a sentence.It accents and reflects the purpose of the statements, the main idea of the proposal.Thus, in the sentence "Tanya eating soup" logical emphasis is on the word "Tanya", then we are talking about Tanya, not Masha and Katya.If the catchword is "eating", it is important for the speaker what she eats it instead of salts or stirs.And if you are stressed is the word "soup", it is important that this soup, not steak or pasta.
logical and grammatical pause
logical stress is closely related to logical and grammatical pauses.The sounding and writing each phrase is divided into meaningful parts, in each of which includes several words, or just one.Such semantic groups in the proposal called speech units, tact or syntagms.The sounding speech syntagmas separated by logical breaks - stops, duration and fullness that can be different.Each individual Syntagma itself inseparable: in its composition no pauses.There are also grammatical pauses, which are indicated in the written text, commas, and other punctuation marks.Where there is a grammatical pause, and always appears logical, but not every logical pause is indicated by a punctuation mark.
There are also psychological pauses that are indicated on the letter of the dots.
logical pause may be connecting and separating.Coupling pause indicates the boundaries between inside syntagmas suggestions or between parts of a complex sentence, it is short.Separating long pause.It is between the individual proposals, as well as plot or semantic composite parts of the text.
key word or group of words in a sentence can be allocated a logical pause before the word or after.Maybe just two pauses that "frame" highlight words.
intonation and logical stress
In speech there tonal accent - raising or lowering the tone.Change its height, not only refers to the main word or combination of words in oral speech, but also makes it more diverse, distinct and pleasant to the ear.Without having to change the intonations of speech, even equipped with the necessary pauses, it becomes monotonous, slurred and soporific.If the logical stress conveys the meaning of statements, the foundation holds the attention of the audience.
