Stress falls in different places, and the rhythm of English will be different. There are several common rhythms in English:
iambic
Long and short lattice
Long and short lattice
Anti-iambic
Take chestnuts for example, dactylic, the rhythm is close to * */../../* *
Where/stands for pressure sum. Represents no pressure. At this time, you may wonder how this can be English, but it is obviously music! Don't worry, try this sentence:
Who is that man in the corner?
According to junior high school grammar, usually only content words have stress, so the stress of this sentence has three words, namely: who, I, and Jiao.
At this point, the rhythm of this sentence will be,
Who is that man in the corner?
Light, light, light, light.
Oooo, this is dactylic, (. ) what we just mentioned.
English has stress, but does Chinese have stress?
I am ashamed to say that although my mother tongue is Chinese, my Chinese grammar is poor, at least I haven't studied it as systematically as English. In order to satisfy my curiosity, I recently started my super idol, Mr. Zhao Yuanren's oral Chinese grammar.
Before sharing and reading the beginning of this book, bask in my male god first. I think Mr. Zhao Yuanren is the smartest person in China in the 1990s, and he is really gone (it turned out to be me, a philanderer, who loves beans).
Mr. Zhao, a handsome man, is going to be an electrical engineer in China. But after studying in America, he became a physicist. When I graduated, I got a degree in mathematics and changed my ambition to become a mathematician. Later, I accidentally got a scholarship from the Department of Philosophy and became a graduate student in the Department of Philosophy. When I was a graduate student, I accidentally became interested in music. You can listen to Teach me how not to think about him. Later he became interested in linguistics and became a linguist.
To tell the truth, now we all learn four tones from primary school.
It is the five-degree marking method from teacher Zhao.
The anthomaniac is over. Back to the topic, does Chinese have an accent?
My own feeling is that when we speak, every word seems to be a beat, so it should be impossible to stress. . . . Carson, you forgot to take your medicine.
Is there any stress in writing Chinese in Teacher Zhao's book? There is a sentence in the book:
In other words, when we want to say a piece of cake, the stress is fried words; If we are talking about the action of pancakes, the stress is on the word pancakes.
After reading this, I really feel sorry for my mother tongue.
Finally, don't panic, because Mr. Zhao also wrote:
Ok, that's all for today. Let's say goodbye.
