This research is focused on linguistics field, phonology and phonetics, and
especially on analyzing stress production of compound words. Furthermore, the
aims of this research are to find out the intensity which reflect to the used effort of
students’ pronunciation and the understanding of stress placement among students
in pronouncing the tested words.
To reach the objective of the research, descriptive method is used in this research.
Test also used as an instrument of this research. Additionally, an acoustics helping
tool, Praat, is used to record, to count the intensity and to see whether the stress
placement is correct or not. Moreover, to analyze the data, Ilse Lehiste’s theory
about suprasegmental feature, especially stress is applied as the main reference of
the research. There are also supporting theories to uphold this research’s idea.
Peter Roach and Charles W. Kreidler gave the list of examples of compound
words.
As the result of the study, it could be concluded that neither English Letters
Department students nor English Education Department students had lack quality
in producing stress as suprasegmental feature. It could be seen from their intensity
(effort) when pronouncing each syllable of each compound words. In addition,
most of them misplaced the stress placement and there also appeared a syllable
break on students’ pronunciation which indicate a hesitation of pronouncing
compound words.
