The fourth syllable is the stressed syllable in the word discoloration. It is stressed as: dis-col-or-at-ion.
The stressed syllable is the syllable that is emphasized when it is spoken. Some words have more than one stressed syllable, so the primary stress is the most emphasized syllable, the secondary stress is the second most emphasized, and the tertiary stress is the third most emphasized.
In most two-syllable nouns in English, the stress falls on the first syllable.
The second.
A stress mark in English typically indicates which syllable in a word receives the most emphasis or stress when spoken. This can help learners to pronounce words correctly and clearly. Stress marks are commonly used in dictionaries or textbooks to aid with pronunciation.
The stress is on the 4th syllable, the syllable before the -ic. This is the rule with most words that end in -ic, such as in heroic and athletic as well.
I assume it has to do with syllable stress. Primary stress on a word receives the loudest, most energy. For example, the syllable exAMple is primary in American English. Secondary stress is the one with slightly less energy, while tertiary is almost glossed over. So in PROBLEMATIC, the /ic/ is tertiary, while /PROB/ is primary and /MAT/ is secondary (in my English at least.
No. Schwa is the short vowel sound usually heard in the unstressed syllable (or syllables) of words with two or more syllables. If written out phonetically, the sound is often rendered as "uh". The International Phonetic Association (IPA) uses an upside-down "e" (ə) to represent the schwa sound. The schwa sound is heard in the first syllable of the following words: a·part a·way a·cross sup·ply be·come Note that in each of these words, the second syllable receives much more stress than the first syllable. The schwa vowel sound occurs only in the unstressed syllables. When you say the word volcano (vol·ca·no), each syllable receives essentially the same amount of stress. Most of the time, you won't hear the schwa sound in words of two or more syllables if each of the syllables is voiced with equal stress. Consider the short sentence: "Volcanoes erupt." The word vol·ca·noes has three syllables, but each syllable is given the same amount of force. However, the first syllable of e·rupt receives much less stress than the second syllable. Sure enough, the vowel sound in the unstressed first syllable is the schwa.
