What Are the Effects of Accent?

Some people analyze the third tone sundae in Mandarin as the smallest domain of it has to be a foot is what I think. You say that in both Greek and Spanish, you have different rules for nouns and verbs. In ancient Greek, verbs always have an identical recessive accent rule. The accent moves far back into the word as it can subject to weight constraints. Nouns and adjectives have a lexical accent, which still is subject to weight rules. So you might have a word that is accented on the second syllable. And honestly, it's kind of hard to talk about these in detail so we're sort of giving flavors.
