		In writing, accent is also used to show syllable stress as in Spanish María (acute accent) and Italian pietà (grave accent).

		The word accent in English is also understood to mean the pronunciation and speech patterns that are typical of a speech community; it also denotes the particular manner of uttered expression that lends a special shade of meaning, as when one speaks in harsh or gentle accents.
