Class Accentuator

java.lang.Object
  Accentuator

public class Accentuator

extends java.lang.Object

The accentuation rules used in this class are based on the paper by Petra Wagner: "Systematische Ueberpruefung deutscher Wortbetonungsregeln"
First, the word is preprocessed, cutting off the "Schwa"-syllable at the end. Then the last syllable is examined, whether it is "schwer". If so, it gets the accentuation, if not, the first non-"Schwa"-syllable from the right gets the accentuation. (For a definition of "schwere Silbe", see Petra Wagner, p.2)
Thus, there is only one "Hauptakzent", no "Nebenakzent" is recognized (for the time being). So, "Komposita" are somewhat problematic ...
