Fallacy of accent
LINGUISTIC AMBIGUITY CAUSED BY UNUSUAL STRESS
Accentus (fallacy); Accent fallacy; Accent (fallacy); Fallacies of accent; Misleading accent
The fallacy of accent (also referred to as accentus, from its Latin denomination, and misleading accent) is a type of ambiguity that arises when the meaning of a sentence is changed by placing an unusual prosodic stress, or when, in a written passage, it is left unclear which word the emphasis was supposed to fall on.
Pitch-accent language
WORD ACCENT IN WHICH THE PROMINENT SYLLABLE(S) ARE INDICATED BY A CONTRASTING PITCH RATHER THAN BY LOUDNESS
Melodic accent; Pitch-accent; Pitch-stress language; Pitch accent (autosegmental-metrical theory); Pitch-accent languages; Pitch accent; Schleifton; Schärfung; Stoßton
A pitch-accent language, when spoken, has word accents in which one syllable in a word or morpheme is more prominent than the others, but the accentuated syllable is indicated by a contrasting pitch (linguistic tone) rather than by loudness (or length), as in many languages, like English. Pitch-accent also contrasts with fully tonal languages like Vietnamese and Standard Chinese, in which each syllable can have an independent tone.
