Pronunciation

[edit]

According to the Longman Pronunciation Dictionary:

In a stress-shifting environment the adjective or noun is sometimes /ˌEksprEs/, as if underlyingly /ˌEksˈprEs◂/: ˌExpressˈ Dairies. There is usually no stress-shifting in the verb: to exˌpress ˈsympathy. JMGN (talk) 15:45, 3 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
