In
view of the fact that English does not stain out stress placement on
words in a usual text apart from in broad or narrow transcriptions, L2
learners are expected to depend on practical contextualization previous
to written texts can be read and proper meanings decoded by them and
this chore of practical contextualization demands higher level of
language awareness on the part of L2 readers. Words that are
phonologically unclear are not challenging to skilled readers but are so
to preschooler and unskilled readers who translate a string into more
than one conceivable phonological acknowledgment that maps into more
than single word in their vocabulary.
1.3 Aims and objective of the problem
The
general aim is to examine the use of sentence stress among some
undergraduate students of the ObafemiAwolowo University Ile Ife,
Specifically the study sought to:
examine sentence stress between some undergraduate students
determine homographic words challenges to L2 learners
establish the alternativeused by the students in avoiding homographic words
assess undergraduate student’s reading capability
1.4 Justification of the study
It
has been scrupulously evaluated that normal speakers of a language know
from 45,000 to 60,000 words. On the other hand, this shows that
optimistically one must have kept these words someplace in the heads,
known as mental lexicon. However, in non-specialized each day talk, one
talk about “words†while never imagining this could be a problematic
idea. It has been contended that the word could be characterized in four
other courses: as far as sound structure (i.e. phonologically),
regarding it’s inside honesty, as far as significance (i.e.
semantically), or as far as sentence structure (i.e. grammatically).
Notably, one might have thought that the vacant spaces in writing mirror
pauses in the spoken language, and that conceivably one could define
the word as a unit in speech surrounded by pauses. However, in
circumspectly listening to naturally occurring speech one will apprehend
that speakers do not make pauses before or after each word and
conceivably one could say that words can be surrounded by potential
pauses in speech.
