Here is another example of differences in pronunciation inferring the meaning of the word and its role in a sentence.
In its pronunciation, the verb 'recall' demonstrates full stress on the second syllable of the word. The act of recalling is the act of remembering something.
As a noun, many English speakers will apply full stress to the first syllable of the word to demonstrate its position as a noun in the sentence. From observation, we are gradually moving away from this convention.
When unsure of what convention is in place where you speak and use English, apply the distinction.
