A related question is when are two words, differing in stress and/or 
syllabication, the same. If you say /spat,r,xa,PI,o/ and I say 
/spa,TRXA,pio/, we are nessecelery talking about the same kind of plant. But 
if we both say /UA,cin,tyn/, I might be talking about the city on the Potomac 
and you about the state in the Northwest, while we could say /pa,RIS/ and 
/PA,ris/ and be talking about the same city, or different cities. Are {paRIS} 
and {PAris} the same word?
