Summary/Abstract: The article discussses accentua patterns of the definite present active participles in academic publications and teaching aids and textbooks. The author concludes that the above participles in prestigious language should have a fixed stress. The stress on the flection of such participles of masculine gender in the Nominative singlar is not considered a violation and is within the standard. However, other singular and plural forms in standard Lithuanian have a stress on the stem (either root or suffix).
