HOMOGRAPH

GRADE 10 ENGLISH
3RD QUARTER - LESSON 4
HOMOGRAPH
A homograph is a word that has two different pronunciations,
and the different pronunciations have different meanings.

One important thing to know is that changes in word stress often


cause changes in vowel sounds, so in some of these words you
may notice a vowel sound change, but that change goes with the
shift in stress. The primary way that vowels change with word
stress is by becoming weaker and reducing to schwa when they
are in a syllable that is not stressed. Here is an example.
HOMOGRAPH
OBject (noun a thing):
- the first syllable is stressed, so the [o] is in the strong syllable and has a
short-o sound
obJECT (verb-to voice disagreement):
- the second syllable is stressed, so the [o] is in the weak syllable and
sounds like schwa

Note: The capitalized letters show the stressed syllable, but this is not
normal spelling.
