Random information on the term “Spanish accent”:
Stress in Spanish is functional: to change the placement of stress changes the meaning of a sentence or phrase: for example, célebre (‘famous’), celebre (‘[that] he/she celebrates’), and celebré (‘I celebrated’) contrast by stress. There is some variance between Spanish dialects; a speaker of Rioplatense Spanish will pronounce boina (‘beret’) as [ˈbojna] while a speaker of Colombian Spanish will pronounce it as [boˈina].
Spanish has only two degrees of stress. In traditional transcription, primary stress is marked with an acute accent (´) over the vowel. Unstressed parts of a word are emphasized by placing a breve (˘) over the vowel if a mark is needed, or it is left unmarked.
Stress usually occurs in three positions in Spanish: on the final syllable (oxytone), the penultimate syllable (paroxytone), and the antepenultimate syllable (proparoxytone). (In very rare cases, it can come on the fourth last syllable in compound words.) Vowel-final words and those ending in -s or -n are usually stressed on the penultimate syllable. That accounts for around 80% of Spanish vocabulary.
