Zorluk: KolayEmphatic Stress

Fill in the blank with the appropriate contrastive question that correctly elicits the emphatic stress in the statement provided.

Cevap:Statement: The courageous ASTRONAUT explored the distant galaxy.
Question: 【Did the courageous scientist explore the distant galaxy?】

Cevap

Did the courageous scientist explore the distant galaxy?
Because emphatic stress falls on 'ASTRONAUT', the speaker is emphasizing WHO explored the galaxy rather than another detail. The correct contrastive question challenges the identity of the astronaut by substituting a different subject noun while leaving every other component of the original statement unchanged.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Locate the word bearing emphatic stress in the given statement.
The word 'ASTRONAUT' is printed in capital letters, indicating emphatic stress on the subject noun.
Emphatic stress points to a specific contrast regarding the capitalized word.
2
Determine the element of the statement that must be questioned or contradicted.
The target question must replace 'ASTRONAUT' with another profession/noun (such as 'scientist' or 'pilot') while holding all other words ('courageous', 'explored', 'the distant galaxy') constant.
An emphatic stress question explicitly contradicts only the emphasized lexical item.

Anahtar Kavram

Emphatic stress highlights a single word in a sentence to contrast it with an alternative. The corresponding eliciting question alters only the stressed item and retains the rest of the sentence structure intact.
