English has words with the same spelling: pairs of words, noun, verb. American English syllables have stress, word accent. The noun is stressed on the first syllable. They are distinguished by the position of word stress. The term accent specifically refers to a subclass of some of the more common diacritics. English has noun / verb combinations distinguished only by stress accent. But beware: these phonetic accents are beneficial only if the speaker understands the difference between the acute and grave accent otherwise disregard the accent mark, since it is not mandatory. Although many people call them accents, the correct name for these symbols is diacritic mark or simply diacritic. Then there are those optional accents that might be referred to as phonic because they signal the correct pronunciation of the vowels e and o within a word an open e or o has one meaning while a closed e or o has another: fóro (hole, opening), fòro (piazza, square) téma (fear, dread), tèma (theme, topic) mèta (ending, conclusion), méta (dung, excrement) còlto (from the verb cogliere), cólto (educated, learned, cultured) ròcca (fortress), rócca, (spinning tool).A more important reason is when the term, with a different pronunciation, would change meaning, for example: balía and balia, bacío and bacio, gorgheggío and gorgheggio, regía and regia. When it signals the vocal stress on words ending in - io, - ía, - íi, - íe, such as fruscío, tarsía, fruscíi, tarsíe, as well as lavorío, leccornía, gridío, albagía, godío, brillío, codardía, and many other instances. Editor’s Note: Although in general English words in common usage should be spelled without diacritical marks, in some non-English words, accent marks are retained in current use (consult dictionaries) (12.2, Accent Marks Diacritics, p 422 in print).For example, nèttare and nettare, cómpito and compito, súbito and subito, càpitano and capitano, àbitino and abitino, àltero and altero, àmbito and ambito, àuguri and auguri, bàcino and bacino, circùito and circuito, frústino and frustino, intúito and intuito, malèdico and maledico, mèndico and mendico, nòcciolo and nocciolo, rètina and retina, rúbino and rubino, séguito and seguito, víola and viola, vitùperi and vituperi. Accented means that the sound of that vowel is stressed. Accents are very important to spelling rules. Accent Rule 1: Each word with two or more syllables has one syllable whose vowel is accented. With a, that is, stressed on the third-to-last syllable, so as not to be confused with the identically spelled word that is pronounced with the accent on the penultimate syllable. The Ten English Accent Rules are important to understand and apply to be able to correctly pronounce and spell English words.
