a autora sugere que nos não-verbos as regras de acento operam no nível da palavra de modo que a cada acréscimo de sufixo, a regra volta a se aplicar, não incluindo, no domínio do acento, os sufixos flexionais.
Seems my rephrasing is kind of sub-par... hard to read and generally ugly. Help appreciated!
the author suggests that in non-verbs the stress rules operate at word level such that after every derivational suffix addition the rules are applied again but do not include, within the stress domain, inflectional suffixes.

when it comes to the stressing of OR: in the case of (omit the phrase)
The author is already talking about stress, so it could actually be left out (see my brackets). But leaving it in makes the point clearer.
Here's what I would do with the translation:
'In non-verbs, the author proposes that stress rules operate at the word level; in other words, each time a suffix is added, the rule is applied again, except when it comes to [the stressing of] inflectional suffixes.'
OR: except in the case of inflectional suffixes
What the author is saying is that the rule applies recursively, but since 'recursively' wasn't used, you shouldn't use it.
Examples of 'stressing' in suffixes:

... affix to an existing word; contrasted with COMPOUNDING, and also with INFLECTION. ... (ii) **Some suffixes are unstressed but shift the stressing of the stem**.

Nominal inflection includes number and possession, but not gender. ..... The incorporation of the extrametrical suffix **allows the stressing of the recursive** PWord.

Example sentence:
"According to Ringbom, all L3 learners tend to retain an L1-based accent, particularly IN THE REALM OF INTONATION, irrespective of their L3 proficience levels." (pg.32)
Discussion
In other words, 'accent' alone is not sufficient. One strong reason for not using it is that it's ambiguous on many levels.
Anyway, when I studied linguistics if someone tried to use 'accent', they were corrected. I took 30 semester-long courses in linguistics taught by 19 different professors from all parts of the world and never once did I hear it used.

Britannica offers a clear definition:
http://global.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/2866/accent
I would say that English only has "stress accent" and, therefore, it is known simply as "stress". But I studied unusual languages such as Sanskrit (I lived in India) and Thai (I lived in Thailand), in which other types of accent exist.
Accent is the phonetic prominence given to a particular syllable in a word, or to a particular word within a phrase. When this prominence is produced through greater dynamic force, typically signaled by a combination of amplitude (volume), syllable or vowel length, full articulation of the vowel, and a non-distinctive change in pitch, the result is called stress accent, dynamic accent, or simply stress.
