Orthoepic norms. Orthoepy Vocabulary stress

The orthoepic norm is the only possible or preferred option for the correct pronunciation of a word.

In order not to violate this norm, you should simply look into the spelling dictionary more often. But there are also several rules that you can use.

Nouns

  • In the nominative plural forms, the stress falls on the ending - and the ending -ы is unstressed.

    For example: airports, cakes, elevators, bows, taps, lecturers, scarves.

  • In plural genitive forms, the ending -ov is most often unstressed, and the ending -е is stressed.

    For example: accountants, cones, lecturers, cakes, positions, news
    BUT: localities, judges

  • In nouns of foreign origin, the stress usually falls on the last syllable.

    For example: AGENT, alphabet, hyphen, dispensary, document, blinds, catalogue, obituary, quarter, parterre, apostrophe, percentage, cement, expert, fetish
    BUT: flyleaf, facsimile

  • Often in derived words the stress of the producing words is retained.

    For example: religion - confess, agreement, agreement - agree intention - measure, provision - provide, aristocracy - aristocrat, sign - banner

Among the 27 KIM tasks in the Russian language in 2019, there will traditionally be questions on orthoepics, so at the preparation stage it is important to learn all the words included in the orthoepic minimum of the Unified State Exam compiled by FIPI.

Orthoepy is a section of the Russian language that studies the norms and rules of pronunciation of words and stress placement.

Orthoepic norms in oral speech

Compliance with orthoepic norms is an important parameter for assessing oral speech, because incorrect pronunciation of words and incorrect stress hurt the ears of others and characterize the speaker as an illiterate and uneducated person.

Among the millions of words that everyone knows, there is a small group that many people find difficult to remember.

It is worth noting that the norms of orthoepy are not something static. Over time, the pronunciation of some words changes under the influence of a variety of factors. All modern norms are collected in an orthoepic dictionary, but to successfully pass the Unified State Exam in Russian in 2019, 11th grade graduates will need to know the orthoepic minimum well enough, which includes about 300 words.

Structure of KIM 2019

The Unified State Exam in Russian lasts 3.5 hours (210 minutes).

The 2019 Russian language pass will include 27 tasks, 5 of which will be aimed at testing the graduate’s command of the language standards of oral speech. Among these 2019 Unified State Exam tasks there will definitely be questions on the placement of stress in words included in the spelling minimum.

All ticket tasks will be divided into difficulty levels as follows:

Thus, for correctly completing 27 tasks, the examinee will be able to score 58 primary points.

List of words for spelling tasks

Especially for 11th grade students preparing for the Unified State Exam 2019, FIPI has compiled an orthoepic minimum - a mini-dictionary that contains all the stressed vowels in words that are difficult to remember.

We bring to your attention such a dictionary with a convenient division of words alphabetically and indicating the correct stress.

For task No. 4 “Orthoepic norms”

Rules for placing stress in nouns.

1. Words of foreign origin, as a rule, in the Russian language they retain the place of stress that they had in the source language. In English, stress is most often on the first syllable, while in French it is on the last.

slim - slim - slim - slim - slim.

4. If the emphasis in the short form of the feminine gender falls on the ending, then in the comparative form it will be on the suffix -E- or- HER-:

Orthoepic Dictionary of the Russian Language - a dictionary of Russian words indicating their literary pronunciation and stress. Often spelling dictionaries and stress dictionaries are considered equivalent. However, the correct pronunciation of some words of the Russian language is reflected precisely by the spelling dictionary, as it notes unpronounceable consonants in the root (sun, agency), the pronunciation of [e] instead of [e] (baby, meringue, manager), the use of the letter e instead of ё (scam, a not a scam; engraver, not engraver), endings in words (demonic, not demonic; visa, not visa), the combination -chn- (bakery [sh]) and other norms.

What do students need to know to complete the task correctly?

ORTHOEPHICAL STANDARDS OF THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE.

Distinctive features of Russian accent are its diversity and mobility. The diversity lies in the fact that the stress in Russian can be on any syllable of a word (book, signature - on the first syllable; lantern, underground - on the second; hurricane, spelling - on the third, etc.). In some words, the stress is fixed on a certain syllable and does not move during the formation of grammatical forms, in others it changes place (compare: tonn - tons and stena - stEnu - stENam and stenam).

Stress in adjectives.

In full forms of adjectives, only fixed stress is possible on the stem or on the ending. Low-frequency and literary words are often stressed on the base, while high-frequency, stylistically neutral or reduced words are stressed on the ending.

The degree of mastery of a word is manifested in the variants of the stress place: circle and circle, spare and spare, near-earth and near-earth, minus and minus, clearing and clearing. Such words are not included in the Unified State Examination tasks, since both options are considered correct.!!!

1. Choosing the place of stress most often causes difficulties in short forms of adjectives. The stressed syllable of the full form of a number of common adjectives remains stressed in the short form: beautiful - beautiful - beautiful - beautiful - beautiful; unthinkable - unthinkable - unthinkable - unthinkable - unthinkable, etc.

2. The emphasis often falls on the stem in the form of masculine, neuter, and more. numbers and endings in the feminine form: right - right - right - right - right; gray - gray - gray - gray - gray; slim - slim - slim - slim - slim.

3. It should also be said about the pronunciation of adjectives in the comparative degree. There is such a norm: if the emphasis in the short form of the feminine gender falls on the ending, then in a comparative degree it will be on the suffix -ee: strongA - stronger, sick - sicker, zhiva - lively, slender - slimmer, right - righter; if the emphasis in the feminine gender is on the basis, then to a comparative degree it is preserved on the basis: beautiful - more beautiful, sad - sadder, opposite - more disgusting. The same applies to the superlative form.

Stress on verbs.

1. The stress in the past tense usually falls on the same syllable as in the infinitive: sit - sat, groan - groan. hide - hid, start - started.

2. The group of common verbs (about 300) obeys a different rule: the emphasis in the feminine form goes to the ending, and in other forms it remains on the stem. These are verbs to take. be, take, twist, lie, drive, give, wait, live, call, lie, pour, drink, tear, etc. It is recommended to say: live - lived - lived - lived - lived; wait - waited - waited - waited - waited; pour - pour - pour - pour - pour - pour. Derivative verbs are also pronounced in the same way (to live, to take, to finish, to spill, etc.).

3. Verbs with the prefix you- have stress on the prefix: survive - survived, pour out - poured out, CALL - called out.

4. For the verbs put, steal, send, send, the emphasis in the feminine form of the past tense remains on the basis: krAl, slAl, sent, stlA.

5. Quite often in reflexive verbs (in comparison with non-reflexive ones), the emphasis in the past tense form shifts to the ending: begin - began, began, started, began; accept - accepted, accepted, accepted, accepted.

6. About the pronunciation of the verb to call in the conjugated form. Recent spelling dictionaries quite rightly continue to recommend the emphasis on the ending: calling, calling, calling, calling, calling.

Stress in some participles and gerunds.

1. The most frequent fluctuations in stress are recorded when pronouncing short passive participles. If the emphasis in the full form is on the suffix -yonn-, then it remains on it only in the masculine form, in other forms it goes to the ending: carried out - carried out, carried out, carried out, carried out; imported - imported, imported, imported, imported.

2. A few notes on the pronunciation of full participles with the suffix -t-. If the suffixes of the indefinite form -o-, -nu- have stress on them, then in participles it will move one syllable forward: polot - hollow, prick - pricked, bend - bent, wrap - wrapped.

3. Participles often have the stress on the same syllable as in the indefinite form of the corresponding verb: investing, asking, filling, occupying, washing down, exhausting (IMPOSSIBLE: exhausted), starting, raising, living, watering, putting, understanding, betraying, having undertaken, arrived, accepted, sold, cursed, shed, permeated, drunk, created.

Stress in adverbs should mainly be studied by memorizing and referring to a spelling dictionary.
