The quality or state of being accentual; the property of having or relating to accents and stressed syllables in language.
From 'accentual' (relating to accents) + abstract noun suffix '-ity,' from Latin 'accentus' (tone of voice, accent). The term is primarily used in linguistics and phonology.
English is weird because 'accentuality' varies so much—we stress the first syllable of 'PREsent' but the second of 'preSENT,' which is why non-native speakers find English rhythm so challenging!
