| | Acute accent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In some tonal languages such as Vietnamese and Mandarin Chinese, the acute accent is used to indicate a rising tone. | | | In Catalan, the acute accent is used to mark both the stress and the distinct quality of certain stressed vowels, such as è [ɛ] versus é [e], or such as ò [ɔ] versus ó [o]. | | | Unicode also provides the acute accent as a combining character, U+0301. |

| | PIE Stress |
| | In languages that have this HL vs. LH contrast we usually call the falling tune the circumflex accent (â), and the rising tune the acute accent (á). | | | If, however, such paradigms did not exist at the time when vowel reductions were taking place, it is only natural that they shouldn’t display any effect of stress on the pronunciation of vowels. | | | A moment’s reflection tells us that the static paradigms (such as thematic declensions and conjugations) must be historically younger than the mobile ones, otherwise vowel reductions and other phenomena conditioned by the absence of stress would have affected them as well. |

| | ACCENT - LoveToKnow Article on ACCENT |
| | There is no separate notation for stress accent, but the acute (') is used for the increasing, the grave (') for the decreasing stress, and the circumflex (") for the rising and falling (increasing and decreasing) and (*) for the opposite. | | | Thus the strong stress accent existing in the transition period between Latin and French led to the curtailing of long Latin words like latrocinium or hospitdle into the words which we have borrowed from French into English as larceny and hotel. | | | The strength of the expiration may be greatest either at the beginning, the end or the middle of the syllable, and, according as it is so, the accent is a falling, a rising, or a rising and falling one. |

| | Apostrophe and Acute Accent Confusion |
| | It might also help if font designers could verify that the spacing acute and grave accents (U+0060 and U+00B4) are clearly distinguishable in low-resolution fonts from an apostrophe (U+0027 and U+2019), for example by making the spacing accents rather flat and positioning them high. | | | If some accent and base character combination is not available (s-acute in the above example), then it spits out two characters, namely the spacing accent followed by the base character ("´s"). | | | The spacing acute (0xb4) and grave (0x60) characters can still be entered easily by pressing the space bar after the non-spacing accent key E12. |

| | Apostrophe and acute accent confusion |
| | Before ISO 8859-1 came around, there was no use for the acute accent key on German keyboards, therefore it was simply mapped to the apostrophe in keyboard drivers and people got used to it. | | | This keeps the grave accent spacing for the time the measures under A) are not yet implemented (and so nothing changes for TeX and Emacs users), but it makes the acute accent non-spacing, to prevent its accidental use as an apostrophe. | | | This way, the acute accent and apostrophe got mixed up on some keyboard mappings, and the fact that old US fonts didn't match the correct glyph shapes used on keyboards didn't help either. |
