In most conventional writing and printing, spoken stress is marked by a grave accent ('), but only when it falls on the last syllable of a word: citta, vendi, lunedi, cantd, tribu. An accent is placed over the vowel letter of some words to distinguish them from others having the same spelling and pronunciation but differing in meaning: e “is” versus e “and.” In other instances, stress is usually left unmarked, although it may fall on any syllable up to the sixth from the end.However, Italians are very sensitive to misplaced stress, even though accent marks are not customarily used in Italian spelling. In this dictionary, therefore, as in most Italian dictionaries, the occurrence of stress is indicated with an accent mark whenever it does not fall on the next-to-the-last syllable, and also in all words ending in -ia, -io. In addition, the presence of the open varieties of e and o, to which Italians are also sensitive, is marked by a grave accent (') in all its occurrences, even in the next-to-the-last syllable.
