Before getting to know the examples of serious words with a prosodic accent, it is important that we define the terms well. On the one hand, the prosodic accent refers by force that we allocate in one of the syllables of a word, when we pronounce it. This syllable is tonic

But, the complication comes when we learn a new word and we don't know how do you pronounce: it is then when we must ask what is the prosodic accent of the new word and thus discover what its correct pronunciation is.

For example: In the word "Condena" the prosodic stress is on the syllable "-de", since it is the one that has the strongest pronunciation.

Then, we can conclude that the prosodic accent is included within the sound or phonetic level of the language. It is important to remember this: this phenomenon is only based on the way we pronounce the words, and it has nothing to do with how we write them.

The serious words, are also known as plain words. They are those whose stressed syllable is in penultimate position within a word. These words can contain two, three, four or more syllables, but their accent will fall on the stroke of voice that precedes the last one.

All serious words have a prosodic accent. but not all are accentuated. The rules for accentuation of plain words indicate that only those words will be accentuated. words that have the stressed syllable in penultimate position, provided that they comply with the following requirements:

• If the word ends in N, S or any vowel, it should not have an accent mark. For example: abstract
• If the word ends in any other letter, it must have an accent mark. For example: marble

All words of two or more syllables, without exception, have a prosodic accent. This is a rule in the Spanish language, a phonetic law to which we are subject. Due to the nature of our language, there will always be a syllable to which we give greater voice strength.
