The accentual hiatus occurs when a stressed closed vowel and an unstressed open vowel are combined in any order (mine, corn). This combination always carries an accent on the closed vowel, regardless of whether it is required by the general rules of stress. This occurs even if there is an ax inserted (owl, vehicle).
A hiatus is the meeting of two contiguous vowels within a word, but belonging to different syllables. This can occur in the case of three specific sequences: two different open vowels (a, e, o), two equal open or closed vowels or any combination of closed vowel (i, u) stressed and unstressed open vowel.
Examples of accent hiatus
It is precisely in the latter case that the accentual hiatus occurs. In this sense, a stressed vowel is one that is pronounced with the greatest intensity or voice force.
This is the core of the stressed syllable (the most prominent in a word). Such is the case of the i in the word bisyllable cold (cold - o). All other vowels - and other syllables - are unstressed.
characteristics
The accentual hiatus breaks the diphthong; that is, it divides the syllable in two. It should be noted that a diphthong is a sequence of two vowels that are pronounced in the same syllable. Instead, the hiatus implies that the contiguous vowels are in different syllables.
Now, the sequences where an accentual hiatus occurs are made up of: aí, eí, oí, aú, eú, oú, ía, íe, ío, úa, úe and úo.
As already mentioned, the letter ax inserted in these sequences does not prevent the accent hiatus from occurring. Therefore, this also occurs in there, hey, ohi, ahú, ehú, ohú, íha, íhe, ího, úha, úhe and úho.
Some of these combinations are more common than others. For example, ía can be found in the conjugations of the copreterite of verbs ending in er or ir (knew, ate, persecuted).
The oú combination, on the other hand, is much less common. This can be observed in mohúr (gold coin of ancient English India), noumenon (object of pure rational knowledge) and Finnoúgrio (relative to the Finns and other Uralic-speaking peoples).
On the other hand, within expressions of the same sign it is common for a hiatus to become a diphthong and vice versa. In this way, in the word I meet there is an accentual hiatus (sequence eú). However, in the word meeting there is a diphthong.
Examples of accent hiatus
To exemplify the accentual hiatus, its occurrence in the words of several fragments has been highlighted. Most of these fragments belong to the work The ingenious hidalgo Don Quixote de la Mancha by Miguel de Cervantes. In the case of úe, éu and oú, other reference works were taken.
Hiatus

Hiatus I heard
“So, while the two of them were calm and in the shade, a voice came to their ears, which, without accompanying it, are from some other instrument, sounded sweetly and delightfully.
Because although it is often said that shepherds with extreme voices are found in the jungles and fields, they are more expensive by poets than truths; and even more so when they realized that what I heard them sing were verses, not by rustic cattlemen, but by discreet courtiers. "
Hiatus still

Hiatus oú
“But the admiration is not so great as to exempt itself from pointing out two great misunderstandings about the nature of the Noun. One is the notion of the n où meno as a cause of our perceptions. " (The Works of Modernist Beauty by Esteban Tollinchi, 2004)
