This document discusses stress and accent in spoken language. It defines stress as the relative emphasis given to certain syllables or words. There are different types of stress including strong, secondary, tertiary, and weak or zero stress. The document provides exercises where the reader practices stressing different syllables (e.g. the first, second, third, fourth, or fifth) in multisyllabic words. The goal is to demonstrate how stress affects the pronunciation of words.
