lexical stress
Much more common than "lexical accent".
On top of that, the Webster's dic. defines accent as:
a mark indicating stress (as Æ, Å, or ö, ÷, or ¢, ²), vowel quality (as French grave `, acute ´, circumflex ^), form (as French la “the” versus là “there”), or pitch.

Note from asker:
| Sure, it may be statistically more common, but is it the correct answer? Tricky! Though to be honest, I'm learning towards your direction... |

Note from asker:
| Do you think it is better than LEXICAL STRESS though? Only one answer can fit here, as far as I know. |

word stress
This is the most common term in English (152,000 refs), although "lexical stress" is not wrong (46,500 refs).
Where I was trained (Georgetown Univ), it was a no-no to use the word "accent" in talking about stress. Notice: only 723 refs for "lexical accent." It's probably understandable, but certainly not standard linguistic terminology.
