How Do We Stress Our Words? Foot Structure
How do different languages play with pitch to create differences in meaning? How do we tell where stress falls? In this week's episode, we look at stress and foot structure: how languages use tone, pitch, and stress; how we can build different kinds of feet; and how where we place our stress can change the way we emphasize our sounds.
