Abstract
The Tocharian languages only show limited evidence for their accentuation or stress placement, which makes a diachronic interpretation of this aspect challenging. In this presentation, we will approach the topic from various angles, including the interaction between the accent and developments such as syncope and epenthesis, and discuss various remaining problematic issues.
