Question

what is primary and secondary stress?

Answer 1

Answer:

Secondary stress is the weaker of two degrees of stress in the pronunciation of a word, the stronger degree of stress being called primary.

Answer 2

Explanation:

primary stress: the loudest syllable in the word. In one-syllable words, that one syllable has the primary stress (except for a handful of short function words like the, which might not have any stress at all). ... secondary stress: syllables which aren't completely unstressed, but aren't as loud as the primary stress.
