Suprasegmental features

Stress-position

Where RP has ascribed stress-position in disyllabic and polysyllabic words that have only single stress, MalE differs where such stress-position is concerned:

In the same vein, the MalE speaker often tends not to produce differential stress on pairs of words derived from the same root like RP Iimport (n) versus imIport (v). Such noun-verb derivatives are homophonous in MalE, as can be seen in an example like Malaysia produces a lot of rubber which is the import of many industrialized countries. In MalE the realizations of produces and import are ['prɔdjusiz] and [im'pɔ:t] respectively.
