Book Description
Excerpt from The Standard Pronouncing Dictionary of the English Language: Based on the Labours of Worchester, Richardson, Webster, Goodrich, Johnson, Walker, Craig, Ogilvie, Trench and Other Eminent Lexicographers In connection with orthoepy, the correct Accentuation of words is an import ant feature, to which the Editor has devoted especial attention. Accent is the laying of a peculiar stress of the voice on a certain letter or syllable of the word, sometimes on the vowel, and sometimes on the consonant, as in Ma' gi and mag/is, so that one. Particular syllable of a word is m01e fully distinguished than the rest: All the words of the English language, except the monosyllabic ones, have an accented syllable; and most of our polysyllabic words have not only a primary accent, but sometimes a secondary one but it is only in a few compound words that this secondary accent is noted. It is the general tendency of the language to place the accent on the first syllable of dissyl lables, and 011 the antepenult of polysyllables; but the exceptions to this rule are so numerous, that, in doubtful cases, the best authority is a good pronouncing dictionary.
