Obrasci leksičkog naglaska u najfrekventnijim rečima engleskog jezika značajni su kako za nastavu i učenje, tako i za istraživanja u oblasti usvajanja engleskog jezika, iako im je poklanjano mnogo manje pažnje nego efektima učestalosti u drugim segmentima jezičke strukture. U ovom radu su obrasci leksičkog naglaska opisani i rangirani po zastupljenosti u najfrekventnijoj engleskoj leksici u opštem i akademskom registru. Obrasci identifikovani u korpusu koji čine reči od 2 do 6 slogova u frekvencijskoj listi Longman Communication 3000 (koja pruža podatke o najfrekventnijim rečima u opštem registru engleskog jezika) upoređeni su sa podacima koje su prethodni istraživači sakupili u korpusima zasnovanim na bazi podataka Hoosier Mental Lexicon (koja pruža podatke o vrednovanju poznatosti i vremenu odziva za visokofrekventne reči kod izvornih govornika engleskog jezika) i listi Academic Word List (koju čine najfrekventnije reči u akademskom diskursu). Iako su ova tri korpusa različiti po veličini i domenu, kod dva korpusa iz oblasti opšteg englekog jezika zapažaju se izrazite podudarnosti kod dvosložnih i trosložnih reči, a kod četvorosložnih podudaranja postoje kod sva tri korpusa. Time su jasno potvrđeni dominantni obrasci leksičkog naglaska – a to znači oni kojima su učenici najviše izloženi. Uvid u zastupljenost obrazaca leksičkog naglaska olakšava izbor stavki za leksička vežbanja u nastavi engleskog jezika (usmerena ne samo na vežbanje izgovora nego i na razvoj leksikona kod učenika), kao i izbor stimulusa u eksperimentima kojima se proučavaju L1 i L2 uticaji u razvoju njihovog međujezika.
