Hoy vamos a enseñarles palabras que dependiendo de la fuerza de voz cambian de significado lo cual trae problemas a muchos alumnos.

El lenguaje es una herramienta fascinante que nos permite comunicar nuestros pensamientos, sentimientos e ideas. Uno de los aspectos más intrigantes del lenguaje es el poder del acento (stress) o la fuerza de voz, que puede transformar por completo el significado de una palabra. Hoy nos adentramos en el mundo de las palabras con diferentes significados según el acento, utilizando la palabra “dirección” como nuestro principal ejemplo. Acompáñanos en este viaje lingüístico mientras desentrañamos los matices ocultos detrás de estas transformaciones impulsadas por el acento.

Irregularities in Word Stress

Sometimes we use the same word for a noun and a verb. But we very often stress them differently. Two-syllable nouns are usually stressed on the first syllable, but two-syllable verbs are usually stressed on the second syllable. Let’s look at 4 examples:

Address (noun) vs. Address (verb): One of the most common words with stress-dependent meanings is “address.” When the stress is placed on the first syllable, it functions as a noun, referring to the location of a place or a formal speech. On the other hand, when the stress shifts to the second syllable, “address” becomes a verb, meaning to direct one’s attentio

n, speak to, or tackle a problem. The mere change in stress alters the entire meaning of the word, showcasing the power of linguistic emphasis.

Present (noun) vs. Present (verb): Another example is the word “present.” With stress on the first syllable, it is a noun referring to a gift or a current time frame. However, when the stress moves to the second syllable, “present” becomes a verb that means to offer or introduce something. The transformation of this word through stress highlights how pronunciation can profoundly impact interpretation.

Object (noun) vs. Object (verb): “Object” is a word that undergoes a similar transformation based on stress placement. Pronouncing it with stress on the first syllable makes it a noun, representing a physical thing. When the stress shifts to the second syllable, “object” becomes a verb, indicating disagreement or expressing disapproval. This stress-induced shift serves as a reminder that the way we pronounce words holds the key to their intended meaning.

Import (noun) vs. Import (verb): The word “import” is yet another example of stress-driven meaning variation. When the stress falls on the first syllable, it functions as a noun, referring to goods or products that are brought into a country for trade. With the stress on the second syllable, “import” becomes a verb, signifying the act of bringing goods into a country for trade. This distinction demonstrates how something as subtle as stress can change a word’s grammatical category.
