Роль фразового ударения в полисемии

Abstract

The lexical semantics of the word can determine its weak or strong accentual position in the phrase, its intention to play the role of the topic or the comment. The bonds between the lexical meaning of the word and its potential accentuality could help to describe the different meanings of one and the same polysemic word in more detail. Generally not all the words of the vocabulary request this kind of prosodic information. On the other hand, since there are some lexical meanings of the polysemic words closely connected with the accentual emphasis, this fact should not be neglected in the theoretical and practical aspects of translation.
