This is the study of the phonetic and phonological aspects of the stress patterns of compound adjectives in Present-day English. Compounds consist of two words (two elements), both of which can exist independently as English words. Compounds can be written separately, with a hyphen, or as one word. The primary accent in compounds is most commonly on the first element which is called the Compound Stress Rule, e.g. 'day, break, 'green, house, and in some cases, this type of accentuation will distinguish the compounds from a more productive phrasal pattern, e.g., green 'house. In the Compound Stress Rule, the primary accent is put on the first element of the compound, and then secondary accent is put on the second element of the compounds. This is the pattern called strong-weak. Besides the stress pattern of strong-weak, there are two other patterns, which means that there are three stress patterns for compounds as follows: 1. weak-strong 2. strong-weak 3. strong-strong. These are the stress patterns of compounds which appear in a dictionary. Although there are tree stress patterns in a dictionary, pattern 3 is an area of uncertainty. The investigation of stress of compounds has been done using two dictionaries published in Japan: Reverse Dictionary and New English-Japanese Dictionary and two other dictionaries published in England: Longman Pronunciation Dictionary and Oxford English Dictionary. The result showed that there are many pattern 3 examples in the Japanese dictionaries and only a few examples in the English dictionaries. Several previous studies by Roach, Wells, and Japanese researchers such as Kageyama, Kubozono, Ota and Misono are also overviewed in this study.
