How to pronounce methodology

July 10, 2017 By Susan

I work with lots of US based professionals on clear American speech.

One word that many foreign born people struggle to pronounce is methodology.

However, once they understand the RULE for pronouncing methodology correctly, they’re able to say it clearly and correctly.

Here’s the rule:

In American English, words ending with logy are stressed on the syllable just before ogy.

Thus, methodOLogy is stressed as I’ve written it below.

• methodOLogy

Other words that fit into this pattern include:

Syllable stress can shift

Of course, once you add ICAL, the stress pattern changes.

Now we have:

• methodoLOgical
• technoLOgical
• psychoLOgical
• chronoLOgical

Spoken American English is based on syllable stress patterns . Once you can recognize and apply those patterns your speech will sound much more clear and natural.

Methodology and Science

So whenever a piece of research is published in a scientific or medical journal, the researchers always carefully describe their methodology; otherwise, other scientists couldn't possibly judge the quality of what they've done.
