Paul Stone asked
In which part of which country are ANY of these three words pronounced
with the stress on the other syllable?
Does anyone actually say:
salVAGE
serVICE
or
CONtrol?
As Julie says, these are words that DON'T undergo a noun/verb stress change.
But I'll bet that in Memphis you can hear all kinds of things.
