Each developed nation has its own language and script, which underwent many changes, improvements and purifications before becoming the property of modern times. Nowadays, the dominance of foreign words, the simplification of vocabulary and the depletion of vocabulary, people have faced the acute problem of protecting their language and preserving its traditions.
One of the great and mighty
The Russian language, according to famous classics, is one of the most developed and richest languages. On top of that, it is incredibly difficult to learn. A large number of rules and as many exceptions to them. Dialect vocabulary and professional, borrowed words, historicisms and archaisms, phraseological turns, unity and coalescence. And you also need to take into account synonyms, antonyms, homonyms, paronyms. A separate story in the most famous language of the Eastern Slavs with emphasis.
In French, for example, everything is clear. Percussion is always the last syllable. In English, no matter how you change the word, putting it, for example, in the plural, the selection of a certain syllable by voice will not change. In the Russian language, there are a lot of pitfalls. You need to learn how to get around them, then there will be no problems with orthoepy, a science that studies the correct pronunciation . And even the stress in the word beets will not cause you any difficulties. So, on the way for knowledge.
The stress feature in Russian
Orthoepic work (on pronunciation) at school is not always up to standard. So the students begin the day before the exam to frantically search for reference materials, read out the orthoepic dictionaries and try to remember everything at once. As a result - porridge in the head. Because the word requires thoughtful work. You need to sit over him, you need to get close and make friends with him.
To whom to ask a question in case of difficulty? There are several options:
- Knowledgeable person. Really turn to a competent person who can prove his point.
- Dictionary, textbook or reference. Only select trusted, best-selling publications.
- Internet. Here you can find both useful information and frankly false. The main thing is to be able to choose.
Back to the stress. It is worth knowing both for schoolchildren and adults that in Russian it is mobile and diverse.
Mobile - stress that can move in the same word. Compare: mountains (singular), but mountains (plural).
Miscellaneous - which can fall on both the first syllable and the second. Sounds that are highlighted may also be in the middle of a word. MOM - emphasis on the first, kapusta - on the second, shedA - on the last. In this regard, there are difficult cases of pronunciation. For example, beets - on which syllable should stress be placed?
Why speak correctly
There are supporters of such a theory - you need to communicate in a way that is more convenient, checking with dictionaries is not so important. And in general - this is a personal matter for everyone. Well, what happens if you incorrectly pronounce the blinds or calls . You think, a matter of national importance. That's it, state. Have you forgotten what else it seems like Russian is the official language of the Russian Federation? And that he is already many centuries old. Since the ancestors were able to save it for us, then our responsibility is to pass on the inheritance to descendants. Otherwise, not only the stress in the word beets will change with the light hand of some wise men , but our whole great and mighty will turn into something incomprehensible, inexplicable and meaningless in a couple of centuries (preved, bear, ya kryvetko).
Imperative and dispositive norm
No rules anywhere. Orthoepy also has its own permanent traditions that require compliance.
Peremptory norm . In her submission are words that have one single stress variant. We are talking about the initial form, and not about the forms of the word in which, as we have already found out, the stress can move. In a word, for example, beetroot correct stress is subordinate to the peremptory norm. The same group includes the words SOREL, KILOMETER, ELECTRIC PIPELINE, GAS PIPELINE, SLIVO, ALPHABET and others. Violation of the peremptory norm is a consequence of poor language proficiency, carelessness and disrespect for the most important sign system in human culture.
Dispositive . This is the norm that allows options. In Russian, there are words that have a double pronunciation. Cottage cheese and cottage cheese, meatballs and meatballs, kompas and compass . Although one of the pronunciations is preferable, both are allowed. In case of difficulty, you must consult the explanatory or orthoepic dictionary.
What is the emphasis in beets and what is wrong with it?
Often we find discrepancies in the pronunciation of words between dictionaries and the real world. But we should still be guided by proven sources. And such are the dictionaries. Beetroot incorporates the letter . Historically, the sound of the seventh letter of the alphabet is always in a strong position. An exception are some borrowed and compound words, for example, Koenigsberg. Therefore, the question of where the stress in the word beets can be safely answered is on the first syllable. The same will happen when changing the word for cases: beets, to beets, beets, beets, beets, about beets . Stress on the second syllable is unacceptable, and is considered a gross violation of the rules of orthoepy. But it is interesting from this point of view the word beet . That’s where the fantasies go. Despite the fact that the word is formed from beets , the emphasis on the first syllable does not fall.
Do not only stress the word beet
For those who are interested in the language and the processes occurring in it, other dictionaries will be of interest. Among them are word-formation (helps with morphemic analysis), phraseological (gives an interpretation of stable units), a dictionary of synonyms and antonyms, paronyms and homonyms, difficulties of the Russian language, orthoepic (stress in the word beets ). Spelling is also considered indispensable. In this dictionary you can find words with the correct spelling and emphasis. And then you will be proud that you pronounce Iconography, Apostrophe, Barman, asymmetry, catalog, stroke, decay, oil pipeline correctly . And even the word bookstoreMan will no longer cause you to tremble. The most important thing is to be persistent. Overcome difficulties, enjoy victories, ignore petty troubles.
