英语单词的重音规则

七大特殊单词重音规则1.英语中派生词的重音和词根重音一致。派生词就是一些有同样词根的词。比如：act,active,activelycom'parecom'parison2.带有下列后缀的词：-ary,-ery,-ory,-ism,-ist,-mony,-ment,-ary等，重音通常在第一个音节上。例如：customaryscientistslaveryfactoryrealism3.带下列前缀的词：a-,ab-,ac-,ad-,al-,be-,con-,de-,dis-,em-,en-,in-,mis-,re-,trans-,un-重音通常在第二音节上。例如：a'boutab'duceac'cedead'mirebe'longcon'sultde'tectdis'like4.带下列后缀的词：-aim,-ain,-cur,-eem,-duce,-ere,-firm,-gn,-oin,-oke,-ose,-pt,-rce,-self,-ume重音通常在第二音节。containoccursinceredesignconfirm5.带下列后缀的词：-ade,-ain,-ee,-eer,-esque,-ette,-ique,-ine,-oon重音通常在最后一个音节。这些词一般都是从法语中借来的词。例如：emplo'yeean'tiquemaga'zineci'garvolun'teergaso'line6.带下列后缀的词：-eous,-ial,-ian,-ic,-ics,-ient,-ion,-ious,-ish,-it,-liar,-sive,-tal,-uous重音通常在倒数第二音节上。例如：oc'casionre'lationas'tonishde'positmu'sician7.但是有些派生词，比如从名词派生出来的形容词，它的重音就得发生变化，通常是后移。例如：'sciencescien'tific'accidentacci'dental'democratdemo'cratic'politicspo'litical其实，英语词汇的重音位置通常是有规律的。例如：有些双音节词汇做名词时重音往往落在首音节上；而做动词时，重音就落在第二音节上了。这些词汇常见的有：addict，accent，abstract，annex等。可见，掌握好并读准单词的重音有一定的规律可循。为了便于记忆和学习，现将部分规则按重音位置和字母顺序作如下归纳，并从理论上进行简要分析。一、归类部分．重音落在末音节的字母组合①以-ee结尾，读音为/i:/的词汇：appelleechimpanzeeconfereecontesteedecreedraweeevacueeem-ployeegoateegrandeeguaranteeindicteeinductee②以-act结尾，读音为/ækt/的词汇，多为动词：contactcontractdetractdistractexactenactintactinteract③-air，-aire或-are结尾，读音为/eə/的：affairconcessionaireenclairmillionaireawareprepare④以-ade结尾，读音为/eid/的词汇：arcadebrigadecolonnadeescaladeescapade（exception：decade）⑤以-ane结尾，读音为/ein/的词汇：inaneinsaneprofanehumane⑥以-ceive结尾，读音为/si:v/的动词：conceivedeceiveperceivereceive⑦以-duce结尾，读音为/dju:s/的词汇：conducededuceinduceintroducereducereproducesubducetraduceseduce⑧以-ease结尾，读音为/i:z/或/i:s/的词汇：appeasedeceasedecreasediseaseincreasepredeceasereleasesub-leasesurcease⑨以-een结尾，读音为/i:n/的名词：colleencanteenpreteenSalweenshagreenthirteenspalpeenvelevteenyestreen⑩以-eer结尾，读音为/iə/的名词：cannoneercompeerdomineerengineerfronteergadgeteergazetterpamphleteerpatrioteer(11)以-ect结尾，读音为/ekt/的动词：affectbisectcollectdefectdirectdetectcorrectconfectconnectdisinfectejectelect(12)以-ede结尾，读音为/i:d/的动词：accedeantecedeconcedeimpedeintercedeprecederecederetrocedesecedesupercede(13)以-end结尾，读音为/end/的动词：attendamendcommendcomprehendcontenddefenddependextendintendrepresendsubtend(14)以-el结尾，读音为/el/的词汇：compelimpelNobelmarcelpropelrebel（v．）(15)以-ert结尾，读音为/ə:t/的词汇：assertconcertconvertdesertintrovertsubvert(16)以-ese结尾，读/i:s/或/i:z/的词汇：ChineseJapaneseNapalesesudanesetelegraphesevietnamese(17)以-clude结尾，读音为/klu:d/的动词：concludeexcludeincludeoccludeprecludeseclude(18)以-esce结尾，读音为/es/的词汇：coalescedeliquesceeffloresceevanescerecrudesce(19)以-ess结尾，读音为/es/的动词：compressconfessdepressexpressimpressprofessredressrepresssuppresstransgress若不是动词，以-ess结尾的词汇之重音位置不固定：'progress'congresspro'cessun'less(20)以-est结尾，读音为/est/的动词：adjestcongestcontestdigestinfestprotestsuggest(21)以-ette结尾，读音为/et/的词汇：cassettecigarettebrunettecoquettechemisetteforssettefrisettegazettegrisette(22)以-form结尾，读音为/fɔ:m/的动词：conformperformreformtransform（但uniform是名词）(23)以-ict结尾，读音为/ikt/的动词：afflictconflictconstrictcontradictinflictpredictrestric(24)以-ide结尾，读音为/aid/的词汇：asideastridebesideconfidedivideprovideresidesubside(25)以-ign结尾，读音为/ain/的动词：assigncondigndesignconsignresign(26)以-ire结尾，读音为/aiə/的动词：conspireesquireexpiredesireinquireinspirerequirerespire(27)以-lapse结尾，读音为/læps/的词汇：collapseprolapserelapse(28)以-mit结尾，读音为/mit/的词汇：admitcommitdemitemitintermitomitpermitpretermitremitsubmittransmit（若是名词，重音落在首音节，如：'limit'summit'vomit）(29)以-ort结尾，读音为/ɔ:t/的动词：disportdistortescortexportimportreportretortsupporttrans-port（若是名词，重音多落在首音节：escortexportimportbistortpurport等。）(30)以-ore结尾，读音为/ɔ:/的词汇：aforebeforedeploreexplorerestore(31)以-pose结尾，读音为/pəuz/、/pəus/的动词：deposedecomposeexposeimposeinterposeopposeindisposepredis-poseproposesuppose(32)以-scribe结尾，读音为/skraib/的词汇：conscribedescribeescribeprescribesubscribetranscribe(33)以-scend结尾，读音为/send/的词汇：ascendcondescenddescendtranscend(34)以-oon结尾，读音为/u:n/的词汇：afternoonballoonbuffooncartooncocoondecocoondragoonfestoongalloonoctoroonpocaroon（exception：forenoon）(35)以-que结尾，读音为/k/的词汇：antiqueboutiqueblottesqueburlesquearabesquecaciquecritiquegrotesqueJapanesquemystique(36)以-r结尾，现在分词和过去分词均要双写r（-red，-ring）：demurincurinterinferoccurpreferrecurrefertransfer(37)以-uct结尾，读音为/ʌkt/的词汇：conductconstructdeductinstructobstructproduct(38)以-ult结尾，读音为/ʌlt/的词汇：consultexultinsultoccultmidcultresult(39)以-ume结尾，读音为/ju:m/的词汇：assumeconsumeperfumepresumesubsume(40)以-use结尾，读音为/ju:s/或/ju:z/的词汇：accuseconfuseexcuseperfuserefusesuffusetransfuse(41)以-ure结尾，读音为/juə/(其中-sure读音为/ʃuə/、-ture读音为/tʃuə/)的词汇：accureimpureimmureinsecureinsureinurematureobscureper-dureprocuresecure（exceptions：'epicure'manicure）2．重音落在倒数第二个音节的字母组合：①以-ial结尾，读音为/ʃəl/、/iəl/或/jəl/的词汇：/ʃəl/：confidentialexistentialimpartialinferentialinfluentialinitialprejudicialsacrificialsubstantial/iəl/：authorialbimestrialcolloquialgressorialmaterialmercurialministerialmotorialpictorialprefatorialtectorialvisitorialbicentennialcolonial/jəl/：antimonial②以-ian结尾，读音为/ʃən/、/iən/、/jən/的词汇：/ʃən/：academicianarithmeticianacousticianelectricianEurasianLin-guisticianmusicianP
