The stress in the word "ringing" falls on the second syllable. So and only so. Why is the emphasis on "O" so common in Russian colloquial speech? Just out of habit. It's unfortunate, but there are a number of words that are often mispronounced or spelled incorrectly. And many again should look into dictionaries and reference books, since the interlocutors do not always dare to correct our mistakes.
Call and ring
Perhaps, there are no people who sooner or later will not be indignant about any rule of the Russian language: why is this so and not otherwise? There are very educated citizens who do not like that they have to write "pre-historical", "uninteresting", "played along", "to sum up". They can be understood, because in words with foreign prefixes they write differently: "sub-inspector", "counterplay". And even the prefixes inter- and over- regulate the prettier spellings "super interesting" and "inter-institutional".
That's because in the words "ringing", "sober", "sober" -one stress, and in "call", "call back", "call" - another. The strangest thing is that rarely anyone does not know which accent in the word "rings" is considered correct. But out of habit, many pronounce it wrong.
The most common speaking mistakes
Irregular stress occurs in other verbs. For example, "spoil, spoil, spoil." Correctly "spoil, spoil, spoil". Easy to remember by analogy with "kiss, kiss, kiss".
In terms of the number of occurring erroneous stress in the words "calling, calling, calling" competes only with the constant confusion "put on" - "put on", with the colloquial word "theirs" instead of "them" and the use of the pronoun "mine" in relation to to the phrase "birthday".
Beets, sorrel, cakes should also be under scrutiny, mistakes are not rare in them.
The word "slippers" is very interesting. Sometimes even quite literate people are surprised that it is correct to say “my slipper” in the singular, and not “my slippers”. Try not to forget about it at the exam.
Speech characteristics of the character
Playwrights, screenwriters and directors always use speech errors to characterize a character. Dialecticisms, incorrect use of words, "dabbling and rattling" - all the flaws work for the image. Nowadays, the stress in the word"Rings" on the first syllable emphasizes the hero's belonging to a certain social environment, not very intelligent, let's say.
An excellent example of a speech error and an attempt to correct it is in the movie "We'll Live Till Monday". The primary school teacher, being in the teacher's room, laments: "I tell them - do not lie to the mirror in the desks, but they keep lying down and lying down." Historian Ilya Semyonovich Melnikov is an intelligent person, but he could not resist remarking: "Listen, but you can't do it like this …"
And it was Melnikov who had to apologize for this scene, not the young teacher. Errors in speech and incorrect behavior - it is not known which is worse. Interestingly, in the next frame after the apology, Ilya Semenovich abruptly took the phone away from the lady constantly talking on the phone to congratulate the teacher of the Russian language on her anniversary. Yes, it's hard to be intelligent in all life situations.
To correct or not to correct the interlocutor?
Do I need to correct a person during a conversation? Naturally, the duty of the teacher in the lesson is to correct speech defects. But what if your friend or relative always makes the same mistake? It was not by chance that he made a slip of the tongue, but each time he emphasizes incorrectly: "Ringing"?
You can only be glad if your friend, a foreigner studying Russian, asks you to tell him the exact use of the word. But even so, you will not interrupt him during a public lecture orcommunication with other people. If he is talking specifically to you, it is better to first answer the merits of the question, and then correct the incorrect pronunciation.
How to deal with loved ones whom you want to help, but they really do not like comments, even in the most correct form? There is an excellent rule: to correct unobtrusively. Whose irritation is stronger - those who hear the wrong form of the word, or those who are reprimanded?
If a person puts the right emphasis on the word "ringing", his example will be useful to other people. By the way, discussing the lines of a movie character is a great option for correcting speech errors. There is always hope that those who want to speak better will look in the dictionary.
