| May 22, 2015 at 9:00 | comment | added | Matthias | @KilianFoth I'd like to see a proof for what you claim to be "obvious" - both for the hypothesis that the said groups switched earlier to stressing the first syllable in "angeblich", "ausführlich" etc. than the rest of the population and that their influence is strong enough to make the rest of the population change their pronunciation (it would seem more likely to me that they have an influence on wording). | |

| May 21, 2015 at 14:38 | comment | added | Kilian Foth | @Uwe Because it's obviously driven by journalists, politicians and managers who speak English every day and associate a perceived higher status with it (and overgeneralize, as usual with cross-language influences). Mis-stressing "massiv" after having pronounced "massive" a lot is not very different from saying "vital" (instead of "lebenswichtig") after having said "vital" in English a lot. | |
| May 21, 2015 at 14:22 | comment | added | Uwe | @KilianFoth I think you're right that there is a trend towards shifting the stress to the first syllable, but how do you conclude that this is an influence from English? First of all, English adjectives are not always stressed on the first syllable (massive is, intellectual isn't), and second, the average German speaker doesn't even know where to put the stress in polysyllabic English words. | |

| May 21, 2015 at 8:47 | comment | added | Emanuel | @Robert.. ah, jetzt macht's klick bei mir. Dieses gedehnte "angeblich" kenne ich auch, allerdings gibt es da trotzdem noch einen Akzent auf der zweiten Silbe. | |
| May 21, 2015 at 6:34 | comment | added | Kilian Foth | Note that there is a currently strong trend towards stressing all adjektives on the first syllable even when traditionally they weren't (massiv, intellektuell, ausdrücklich, etc.). This is almost certainly an influence from English and likely to continue and strengthen, so asking which is 'right' is currently even less useful than usual. | |

Improved formatting by bolding the emphasised parts of words.

| May 20, 2015 at 22:35 | comment | added | Emanuel | Maybe it's too much to ask but could you take a picture of such an entry? Because I find it really hard to believe... for angeblich it's just sooo not true and I'm not sure I would even understand it with a stress on "an". At least it would take me some time to process. | |
