Speech communication can be disturbed. However, humans can understand utterances even if theydo not recognise all the words. They just have to recognise the words that are critical for proper interpretation. Accentuated words are more likely to be recognised than non-accentuated words. A speaker who wants to be understood therefore should accentuatethe interpretation-critical words when conversing. In Accentuation andInterpretation a theory of accentuation is developed according to whichaccentuation serves the mere pragmatic function of making utterances well comprehensible. Semantic effects of accentuation are explained as epiphenomena of pragmatic accentuation. The theory is formally elaborated in a model-theoretic framework and experimentally justified.
