副词、某些代词（指示代词等）
、疑问词、叹词等。这条规则可以用四个词来总
结：实词重读。

上面讲解的只是语句重音的一般规则，
但语句重音并不是一成不变的语音现
象。根据说话时的不同心态、不同的着重点、不同
的强调容、不同的语气等可以
使原来在句中应重读的词失去重音，
而原来不重读的词却又成了重读的词。
这些
较为特殊、
复杂的规则就无法在语音小常识中做详细的讲解，
只能留到以后的学<
/p>
习阶段再来学习、探讨了。
Sentence Stress
Since
speech
is
made
up
of
words
strung
together,
we
must
also
look
at
these
words in groups, in
phrases or in sentences in order to observe what
happens to the
stress
pattern.
In
natural
connected
speech,
for
various
reasons,
some
words
are
stressed,
others
are
not.
The
stress
in
a
sentence
is
called
sentence
stress
(
句重音
).
Sentence
stress
can
be
classified
into
three
types:
sense
stress
(
表意重音
),
logical
stress
(
逻辑重音
) and emotional stress
(
感情重音
).
I. Sense
stress
Sense
stress
is
a
very
common
phenomenon
in
connected
speech.
The
distribution
of
such
stresses
is
subject
to
the
meaning
that
the
speaker
wishes
to
convey. In normal speech we put stress
on words semantically important. Such words
are called content or lexical words
(
实词
), such as nouns,
adjectives, adverbs, notional
verbs,
numerals,
interjections,
demonstrative,
interrogative
pronouns
and
the
absolute
form
of
the
possessive
pronouns;
the
unimportant
ones
are
called
form
or
structural words
(
虚词或结构词
),which are used to
join together' the words that carry
meaning. In unemphatic speech, such
words are usually unstressed. They are articles,
monosyllabic prepositions, monosyllabic
conjunctions, personal pronouns, possessive

pronouns,
reciprocal pronouns, reflexives and relative
pronouns, auxiliary and modal
verbs and
verb to BE.
Examples for words with
sentence stress:
1. Nouns
'John is a 'te
acher from
Aˋmerica
n.
2. Adjectives
What a 'beautiful ˋsight!
3. Adverbs
I've 'seldom 'met
him ˋrecently.
4. Notional
verbs
They would 'die 'rather than
ˋyield.
5. Numerals
'Two plus 'three 'equals
ˋfive.
His ad 'dress is
'forty-
'six ˋLinden Street.
6. Interjections
'Oh, it's
V
wonderful!
7.
Demonstrative pronouns
'This is our
ˋcollege.
8. Interrogative
pronouns
'Who was 'that on the
ˋphone?
9. The absolute form
of possessive pronouns
'This 'book is
ˋmine.
And 'yours is over
ˋthere
Examples
for words with no sentence stress:
1.
Articles
He is a 'teacher of
ˋEnglish.
This is the 'book
I ˋwant.
2. Monosyllabic
prepositions
He was sur 'prised at her
ˋattitude
3. Monosyllabic
conjunctions
'John, 'Henry and 'Robert
'all ˋwent but 'Peter ˋdidn’t.
4. Personal, possessive, reciprocal,
reflexive and relative pronouns

'taught us ˋEnglish
