This document discusses word stress and derivational suffixes that can affect stress placement. It defines word stress as a suprasegmental feature of language that occurs simultaneously with segments. There are three levels of stress: unstressed, primary stress, and secondary stress. Derivational suffixes are defined as a group of letters added to the end of a word to form a new word. Derivational suffixes are classified into three types: stress-preserving suffixes which do not affect stress placement, stress-attracting suffixes which shift stress to the suffix, and stress-shifting suffixes which shift stress within the word but not to the suffix. Examples of each type are provided.

13. SUFFIXES
Is a group of letters placed at the end
of a word to make a new word.
A suffix can make a new word in one of two ways:
• Inflectional (grammatical)
• Derivational (the new word has a new meaning,
"derived" from the original word)

14. DERIVATIONAL SUFFIXES,
WHICH SOMETIMES AFFECT, ARE CLASSIFIED
INTO THREE TYPES:
1.STRESS-PRESERVING
2.STRESS-ATTRACTING
3.STRESS-SHIFTING

15. STRESS-PRESERVING
SUFFIXES produce change in stress
placement in words.
An example is the suffix –Ful, which
changes a noun into an adjectives,
For example:
‘wonder/’wonderful.
‘beauty/’beautiful.
‘success/’successful.

16. Receive primary stress: for example, -ee,
which changes a verb into a noun as in,
STRESS-ATTRACTING S
for example:
 em’ploy/ employ’ee.
 re’fuge/refug’ee

17. Make the stress shift, but not to the suffix that
caused shift.
An example of a stress-shifting suffix is –ive,
which changes a noun into an adjective ,
For example:
‘reflex/re’flexive
