English Plus notes that "a syllable that is stressed in pronunciation is called an accented syllable. The accent often changes the meaning of words which otherwise would be pronounced or even spelled alike. The word object when accented on the first syllable is a noun; when accented on the second syllable it is a verb. All English dictionaries show the accented syllables in their pronunciation keys, usually with an acute accent mark (´)."
