THE SEMANTIC STRUCTURE OF RUSSIAN AND ENGLISH PHONETIC TERMS DENOTING VARIOUS TYPES OF STRESS IN A SENTENCE
The article reveals the semantic structure of phonetic terms serving to denote various types of stress that are realized in units higher than a word. Although the notions “ударение” and “stress” in the Russian and English languages fully coincide, the lexical units denoting different types of stress in these two languages cannot be considered equivalent. By means of analyzing the definitions of the terminological units in question in various special dictionaries and textbooks, as well as researching their functional peculiarities in specialized texts, it was possible to draw a conclusion that, despite used interchangeably in professional discourse, the terms in Russian terminology are not fully synonymous and that the English term “sentence stress” has broader semantics.
