What is the word than means to put more voice in one part of a another when you say word?

When we speak, we put more emphasis on certain syllables within a word. This is called stress.

For example, in the word "record", the first syllable "re" is stressed. In the word "record", the second syllable "cord" is stressed.

This change in stress can change the meaning of a word, or even create a new word altogether!
