Task 9:Act and Communicate<br />

English speakers tend to store vocabulary items according to their stress<br />

patterns. (Brown 1990; Levelt 1989). Therefore a stress error is particularly<br />

damaging to communication. Only a little imagination is needed to realize<br />

that the failure to hear and produce stress patterns accurately could cause<br />

confusion between words such as those in the following pairs:<br />

dessert/desert foreign/for rain his story/history<br />

It might seem that context would clarify any confusion over words like these<br />

but in fact stress errors rarely exist in isolation from other pronunciation or<br />

grammatical problems. The combination of stress errors with other types of<br />

errors seriously disrupt communication.<br />
