The tricky thing about all the rules and lists is that they don’t stay in your head: read it and forget it. There are several ways to remember useful information, in our case – words with the correct accents.

#singing now. A word that is difficult for you needs to be said out loud, clearly, several times (you can also sing it) and... in front of witnesses. Let your friends or colleagues support you and join your impact flash mob with their problematic words (“Venice is more beautiful than Paris, more beautiful, more beautiful, more beautiful than Paris”, “They call me, they call me”, “my boyfriend is a barman, barman, barman”). This is our psychology: what we do not do alone is better remembered.

#wonderfulmoment. For those who have a developed imagination, it is easiest to involve associations and images associated with it in the task of memorizing any information. Here, for example, healthy vegetable beets, and the rosy-cheeked grandmother Fyokla sells them. And an excellent marketing specialist knows everything about how to maintain a brand!

#graphomania. Remember how in school, studying foreign language, we composed dialogues and stories with new words, selected rhymes for them, or came up with funny poems? The principle also works for the great and mighty, you just need to give free rein to your imagination! There are a lot of ready-made cheat sheets floating around on the Internet, take note: “We ate cakes for a long time - the shorts didn’t fit”, “Don’t bring us curtains, we’ll hang blinds”, “Phenomenon rings on Wednesdays, having accepted an agreement for years”, “The bell ringer rings, they ring ring the bell so that you can remember correctly!”

And, of course, dictionaries and reference books will always help out: a spelling dictionary, an orthoepic dictionary (translated from ancient Greek “orthoepia” means correct pronunciation), a dictionary of accents. Online resources will not let you down either: the portals Gramota.ru (be sure to look at the “Memos” section) and gramma.ru, Yandex.Dictionaries, the website orfogrammka.ru - which, unlike printed publications, always at hand thanks to the ubiquitous Internet. Let's speak beautifully!

Correct speech is of great importance in our life. After all, even if a person looks decent, but makes a lot of mistakes in stress when pronouncing words, then the attitude towards him cools down. It is much more pleasant to communicate with an educated interlocutor with a correctly delivered speech. But not everyone knows how to correctly place emphasis on a particular word, and this greatly confuses them.

The Russian language is very difficult. It's not enough to be well-read person in order to know how to pronounce words correctly. Accents in fiction books, for example, are not marked, so to understand where exactly they need to be placed, you have to turn to Russian language textbooks. Remember that there are following features placement of accents. For example, in foreign words The emphasis when pronouncing in Russian remains in the same place where it was originally placed (marketing, blinds, genesis). If the word denotes a measure of length and ends in “meter,” then know that in this case the stress will fall on the last syllable (centimeter, decimeter, kilometer). Stressed vowels are similarly emphasized in words such as kilogramAmm and miligramAmm.

It is worth noting that stress in Russian can be of several types. It can be mobile or immobile. If in the same word, when used in different cases, there is always one syllable under stress, then this stress is called fixed (break, break, break). And when, when pronouncing a word in different forms“runs” along it, then such an accent is considered movable (board - boards, take out - take out). Orthoepic and linguistic dictionaries, as well as special Internet portals, help in setting stress. Such services provide users with the opportunity not only to see how to correctly place stress in a word, but also to listen to its sound if necessary. This is very convenient, since almost every resident of the country currently has access to the Internet. But free time It’s unlikely that anyone will find it to visit a library or store in search of the right dictionary. Moreover, if a word urgently needs to be checked for the correct accent, then such an Internet resource will be very useful.

If you have excellent memory and imagination, then you can come up with a consonant, rhyming word with the one in which you need to remember the emphasis. Write something funny short poem. By associating words, you will forever remember how to correctly place emphasis in a particular case. Here are some examples of funny rhymes:

• If you can't fit into shorts, it means you like to eat cakes.
• I lost the contract, it was probably stolen by Or.
• Someone is standing nearby, his phone is ringing.
• It's hard to drag the package - you need to lighten the load.
• The quarter has already ended, but you haven’t turned in your work.

Work on your speech and try to speak competently always and everywhere. It’s nice to feel like an educated and cultured person. Correct positioning accents will give you the opportunity to gain respect in society, and will also increase your chance of passing a difficult and serious interview when applying for a job in a reputable organization.

Russian language is one of the most difficult in the world. And if you are looking on the World Wide Web for an answer to the question of how to put stress in words, this means that even Russian-speaking people sometimes experience certain difficulties in mastering the norms of the language. And if your profession involves frequent speaking in front of an audience, then you need to speak as correctly as possible in order to convey the information correctly. How to correctly place emphasis on words so as not to distort their meaning? This will be discussed in this article.

Features of Russian accent

Where to put the emphasis? A special section in linguistics called accentology will help answer this question. So, according to this science, there are no clearly defined rules for stress in the Russian language. Each word has its own rules. How to put emphasis correctly? When answering this question, you need to remember that the Russian language is characterized by the so-called free or variable stress. This means that different parts of a word can become stressed syllables - a root, a prefix, a suffix or an ending. We decided to highlight several points, the understanding of which will help you figure out how to put emphasis on words.

• In Russian, stress is free and therefore can fall on any syllable.
• The accent can be movable or stationary. Where should the emphasis be placed in this case? Let's say that in different forms of one word the stress falls on the same part, this will mean that it is motionless: you speak, you speak, you speak. But if the stress falls on different syllables of the same word, then it is called mobile: grass - herbs, run out - run out.
• How to put emphasis? It must be remembered that emphasis may change over time. For example, if previously it was considered correct to say: metallurgy, printing, now the norm is: metallurgy, printing.
• Dictionaries will also tell you where to put the emphasis. In them, you will be surprised to find that sometimes some variants of stress are considered equal. For example: Augustovsky - Augustovsky, Cossacks - Cossacks, Keta - Keta and others.
• Sometimes, so that there is no doubt about where to put the emphasis, you just need to learn words with fixed accents. Here are some of them: cake, scarf, bows, call and others.

Lexical, grammatical, stylistic differences

Where to put the emphasis to correctly convey your idea? When preparing your speech, remember that the difference in stress is due to the fact that in practice there may be two or even more accent options. They will differ from each other in lexical, grammatical or stylistic terms.

1. Lexical difference suggests that with a change in the place of stress, the meaning of the word also changes. For example, ugly and ugly or characteristic and characteristic. How to put accents correctly and not make mistakes? Consider the lexical meaning of the word and the context in which it sounds.
2. Varying stress also allows you to distinguish between grammatical forms. These can be forms of the same word, for example, stress in different places of words - strings and strings indicate that in the first case we have genitive singular the word string, and in the second case it is the nominative plural of the same word. Otherwise, different stresses in the same word may indicate forms absolutely different words. For example, pali is the past tense of the verb “to fall”, and palI is already the imperative form of the verb “to burn”.
3. How to put emphasis? In some cases, the science of stylistics will help you answer this question. Words such as bogatyr, well done or silky may sound differently - bogatyr, well done, silky. The difference in stress is associated with the folklore origin of these words.

How to put emphasis in names correctly? Here you can apply the following rule: in women's syllables the stress is placed on the penultimate syllable - MarIna, Inna, Valentina, etc. But in men's, everything is a little different. In short male names The emphasis is placed on the penultimate syllable - KOLYA, ZHENYA. Where should the emphasis be placed in long names? On the last syllable (Mikhail, AntOn, Valentin). True, there are quite a few exceptions regarding accents in names. But that, in general, is what distinguishes our great and mighty Russian language - exceptions to the rules.

How to put stress correctly in other languages? For Chinese, Vietnamese and Japanese languages There are tonic and musical stresses. They involve highlighting a syllable by changing the pitch. How to put stress in words like this in an unusual way? This question is best addressed to speakers of Asian languages. There are also dynamic, forceful stresses when stressed syllable stand out with greater pronunciation power. These types of stress are typical for English, French, Russian and others. To be understood correctly, speak correctly! Where should the emphasis be placed so that the meaning is conveyed correctly? Learn Russian, and if you have questions, look in a special dictionary.
