where is the stress in french words typically placed?
final syllable
statements about the position of stress are sometimes affected by the fact that when a word is spoken in isolation, prosodic factors (see below) come into play, which do not apply when the word is spoken normally within a sentence. french words are sometimes said to be stressed on the final syllable, but that can be attributed to the prosodic stress that is placed on the last syllable (unless it is a schwa, when it is the second-last) of any string of words in that language. thus, it is on the last syllable of a word analyzed in isolation. the situation is similar in standard chinese. french (some authors add chinese) can be considered to have no real lexical stress.
