Initial-stress-derived noun

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Redirected from Initial stress derived nouns)

Jump to: navigation, search

Initial-stress derivation is a phonological process in English, wherein stress is moved to the first syllable of verbs when they become nouns or adjectives. This is called a suprafix in linguistics. It is gradually becoming more standardized in some English dialects, but is not present in all, and the list of affected words differs from area to area, and whether a word is used metaphorically or not. At least 170 verb-noun (or adjective) pairs exist. Some examples are:

* conflict.

as a verb, “I hope that won’t conflíct in any way.”

as a noun, “There will be no cónflict.”

* record.

as a verb, “Remember to recórd the show!”.

as a noun, “I’ll keep a récord of that request.”

* permit.

as a verb, “I won’t permít that.”

as a noun, “We already got a pérmit.”

Okay, the purpose of this exercise today is not only to get you some resources for your magazine project, but also to build some familiarity with the databases that we have here at northlibrary.com.

First off, whenever you are doing research on any topic, you want to learn the vocabulary and facts that surround an issue, that way if you must do some more in depth research, you can always use the words you find first to aid you in your search strings.

So, the first thing that you need to do is hit the “World Book” link over to your left and select “World Book Advanced.” Do your search, read your article and then look to your left and you will find other resources. Click those to read more about your topic.

You can also search “Enlightenment,” and it will bring you to the article that covers the whole period.

Now you can go back to Northlibrary.com and click on the Gale Virtual Reference database that searches all of the eBooks Gale and our library has to offer.  Here, you want to look at the Encyclopedia of religion. You can also do searches for “Enlightenment Inventions” or “Church and state Age of enlightenment.” Also think of the political movements that happened during this time. Is there a coincidence that our nation’s founding came at the end of this (1789 is the year our constitution was written)?

If your topic was something that would have more current information, you may be able to search for information in EbscoHost and the Oslis Gale Powersearch.

You can also go onto the web and look for information, but after looking at the databases, you may realize it isn’t the best quality.

“Its a plutocracy!”

I got the following info from A French History Timeline

The majority of the population of France was made up of commoners, who resented the privileges enjoyed by the nobles and clergy. In addition, the growth of new ideas during the 18th century’s Enlightment resulted in thinkers such as Voltaire and Rousseau beginning to question the principles of the old regime and absolutism. These thinkers spoke of a liberal society that enjoyed free commerce. They also championed equal rights and the abolition of the class system. The notion of revolution was further encouraged by Frenchmen who had been exposed to the ideas behind the American Revolution. In 1789 the crisis came to a head. On July 14th, a Parisian mob revolted and stormed the Bastille prison, which was seen as a symbol of political oppression. The French revolution had begun. On the August 26, 1789 the revolutionaries issued the Declaration of the Rights of Man which embodied the principles of Liberté, Egalité, and Fraternité, and was meant to end the class system. During the Revolution, Louis XVI was guillotined, along with scores of moderates and radicals, at the Place de la Revolution (now the Place de la Concorde). Robespierre and his Committee of Public Safety brought brought on the Reign of Terror in France.

Basic Research Tips

Think about the question, visualize what the likely answer would be, and then find a source that gives that type of answer.

For us, that is mostly scholarly journal articles. We use our databases to help find them now.

Boolean Search

Scholarly Article Databases

http://www.northlibrary.com is the portal for our databases.

OSLIS currently has a subscription with Gale/Cengage

And we just obtained the EbscoHost subscription that OSLIS used to provide.

We’re setting this up right now, but the credentials for this site is

Both of these are great general databases. Then for geography matters, we have Gale’s Global Issues in Context.
