The stress in the word “rings” falls on the second syllable. So and only so. Why is the emphasis on "O" so widespread in Russian colloquial speech? Just by virtue of habit. Too bad, but there are a number of words that are often spoken or spelled incorrectly. And many again should look into the dictionaries and reference books, as the interlocutors do not always dare to correct our mistakes.
Ring and ring
Perhaps there are no people who, sooner or later, will not be outraged about any rule of the Russian language: well, why is this so, and not otherwise? There are very educated citizens who do not like to write “prehistoric”, “uninteresting”, “played”, and “subtracted”. They can be understood, because in words with foreign prefixes they write differently: "sub-inspector", "counterplay". And even the prefixes inter- and super- regulate the prettier spelling “super-interesting” and “inter-institute”.
That's because in the words "ringing", "sobering up", "sobering up" - one stress, and in the "ringing", "call back", "ringing" - another. The strangest thing is that rarely does anyone know what stress in the word “rings” is considered true. But by virtue of habit, many pronounce erroneously.
The most common spoken errors
Wrong accent is also found in other verbs. For example, "pamper, pamper, pamper." Correctly "pamper, pamper, pamper." It is easy to remember by analogy with "kiss, kiss, kiss."
In terms of quantity, the erroneous accent in the words “calls, calls, calls” only competes with the constant confusion “put on” - “put on”, with the colloquial word “theirs” instead of “them” and the use of the pronoun “mine” with respect to the phrase “birthday” "
Beets, sorrel, cakes should also be closely monitored, errors are not rare in them.
Things are very interesting with the word "slippers." Sometimes even quite competent people are surprised that it is correct to say "my slipper" in the singular, and not "my slipper". Try not to forget about it at the exam.
Character Speech Characterization
Playwrights, screenwriters and directors always use speech errors to characterize the character. Dialecticisms, misuse of words, "dipping and gacking" - all the flaws work on the image. Nowadays, the stress in the word “ringing” on the first syllable emphasizes the hero’s belonging to a certain social environment, which is not very intelligent, let’s say so.
A great example of a speech error and an attempt to correct it is in the movie "Let's Live Until Monday." The primary school teacher, being in the teacher's room, laments: "I tell them - do not put a mirror in the desks, but they all lie and lie." The historian Ilya Semenovich Melnikov is an intelligent man, but could not resist the remark: “Listen, but you can’t do that ...”
And it was just Melnikov who had to apologize for this scene, and not the young teacher. Mistakes in speech and incorrect behavior - it is not known which is worse. It is interesting that in the next frame after the apology, Ilya Semenovich abruptly picked up the phone from a lady constantly talking on the phone to congratulate the teacher of the Russian language on the anniversary. Yes, it’s hard to be an intellectual in all everyday situations.
To correct or not to correct the interlocutor?
Is it necessary to correct a person during a conversation? Naturally, the teacher’s duty in the lesson is to correct speech defects. But what if your friend or relative always makes the same mistake? It was not by chance that he made a slip of the tongue, but each time he incorrectly stresses: “ringing”?
We can only rejoice if your acquaintance, a foreigner studying Russian, asks to tell him the exact use of the word. But even in this case, you will not interrupt him during a public report or communication with other people. If he is talking specifically with you, it is better to first answer on the merits of the question, and then correct the wrong pronunciation.
What to do with loved ones whom you want to help, but they really do not like comments, even in the most correct form? There is an excellent rule: correct unobtrusively. Whose irritation is greater - those who hear the irregular shape of the word, or those who are pulled?
If a person makes the right stress in the word “CALLING”, his example will be useful to other people. By the way, discussing replicas of any movie hero is a great option for correcting speech errors. There is always hope that someone who wants to speak better will look in the dictionary.
