About half of English words are one syllable long and most of the rest are two. If it's stressed, it's probably a word. Stress placement on disyllabic words works at a grammatical level, not just a phonetic one. "To record" and "a record" (reCORD, REcord) have different stress placement because of their grammatical roles (noun/verb). |
