We have been dealing up to now with the accentual structure of simple and derivative words.
Now we shall analyze the accentual structure of compound words.
The place of word–stress in English compound nouns principally depends on the semantic factor, that is to say, the element which determines the meaning of the whole compound has a primary stress. Some compound nouns have single stress, others have two stresses. Single stress compound nouns with the nuclear accent on the first element are by far the most common, e.g.
bookcase ['bukkeɪs] dining - room ['daɪnɪŋrum]
There are some compound nouns which have:
the nuclear accent on the second element, the first being unstressed, e.g.
mankind [mæn'kaɪnd] shortcoming [:t'kmɪŋ]
the nuclear accent on the first element and the secondary on the second which is pronounced on a low level pitch, e.g.
hair - dresser ['heə dresə]
the pre–nuclear primary accent on the 1st element and the nuclear one on the 2nd, e.g.
ice-cream ['aɪs'kri:m] arm–chair ['a:m'ʧeə] tea-pot ['ti:'pt]
Compound adjectives have as a rule, primary stress on each element of the compound, e.g.
well – known ['wel'nəun] absent – minded ['æbsənt'maɪndɪd]
hard - working ['ha:d 'wə:kɪŋ] light - blue ['laɪt 'blu:]
Composite verbs also have two primary stresses, e.g.
to get up [tə 'ɡet 'p] to give away [tə 'ɡɪv ə'weɪ] to come in [tə 'km 'ɪn]
The numerous variations of English word-stress are systematized in the typology of accentual structure of English words worked out by G.P. Torsuev. He classifies them according to the number of stressed syllables, their degree or character (the main and the secondary stress). The distribution of stressed syllables within the word accentual types forms accentual structures of words. For example, the accentual type of words with two equal stresses may be presented by several accentual structures:
'well–'bred [┴ ┴] 'absent–'minded [┴ ┴ ] 'good-'looking [┴ ┴ ]
Accentual types and accentual structures are closely connected with the morphological type of words, with the number of syllables, the semantic value of the root and the prefix of the word.
The accentual types are:
[┴] This accentual type marks both simple and compound words. The accentual structures of this type may include two and more syllables.
'father 'possibly 'mother–in–law 'gas – pipe
[┴┴] The accentual type is commonly realized in compound words, most of which are with separable prefixes.
'radio – 'active 're'write 'diso'bey
[┴┴┴] and IV[┴┴┴┴] The accentual types are met in initial compound abbreviations like 'U 'S 'A
V. [┴┬] The type is realized both in simple and compound words, very common among compound words.
'hair - dresser, 'substructure
VI. [┬┴] The accentual type marks a great number of simple words and some compound words as well. In simple words the stresses fall into:
the prefix and the root: maga 'zine
the root and the suffix: hospi 'tality
the prefix and the suffix: disorgani 'zation
[┴┬┴] The type includes rather a small number of simple words with the
separable prefixes:
'misrepre'sent.
[┬┬┴] The type is found in a very small number of words usually simple words with the stresses on the prefix, the root and the suffix:
individuali 'zation
[┴┴┬] The type is met in rare instances of compound words with separable prefixes:
'un'seaworthy
[┴┬┬] The type is represented by rare instances of simple and compound words:
'soda-water bottle
[┬┴┬] The type is found in rare instances of compound words consisting of 3 components:
'ginger 'beer - bottle
