In
linguistics
, the
word formation process
in which only the
audible
emphasis
of a
syllable
changes to create a new word. For example:
"reject" (
verb
, stress on second
syllable
) becomes "reject" (
noun
, stress on first
syllable
).
"combine" (
verb
, stress on second
syllable
) becomes "combine" (
noun
, stress on first
syllable
).
