We have heteronyms. These are words that are  spelled exactly the same, but different meaning  

and different pronunciations. The word  is attribute which is a noun meaning  

a feature or a trait or attribute which is  the verb meaning regard as being caused by.

So to say these words correctly we're  going to think about word stress here.  

This is going to be our longest,  highest pitched, and loudest syllable  

in this word. This is a common rule in  heteronyms, and nouns the stress falls  

may may at the beginning, and in verbs  it falls mainly at the end of the word.

So we're stressing that first  syllable: again louder, longer, higher.  

The other syllables are going to be  shorter, softer, and lower in pitch.

So we have attribute attribute attribute.

And now in the verb we have  attribute attribute attribute.

So again long, short, short: attribute.

Short, long, short: attribute attribute attribute.

attribute attribute attribute attribute 

attribute attribute

And now for a sentence:

Did the attribute attribute  to the researcher's results?
