The Study of Word Stress and Accent

  • Stress and accent are central, organizing features of grammar, but their precise nature continues to be a source of mystery and wonder. These issues come to the forefront in the phonetic manifestation of stress and accent, their cross-linguistic variation and the subtle and intricate laws they obey in individual languages. Understanding the nature of stress and accent systems informs all aspects of linguistic theory, methods, typology and especially the grammatical analysis of language data. These themes form the organizational backbone of this book. Bringing together a team of world-renowned phonologists, the volume covers a range of typological and theoretical issues in the study of stress and accent. It will appeal to researchers who value synergistic approaches to the study of stress and accent, careful attention to cross-linguistic variation, and detailed analyzes of both well-studied and understudied languages. The book is a lively testimony of a field of inquiry that shows progress, while also identifying questions for ongoing research.

  • Summary

    The introduction outlines the background of this collection and offers a summary of the articles in this volume, clarifying both the theme issues and how different authors use terminology. This volumes cover a range of typological and theoretical issues in the study of stress/accent. On the typological side, various authors are concerned with the array of word-prosodic types and their distinguishing phonetic properties. Of specific theoretical concern is the question of foot structure and how it is manifested in different ways in different systems. Also, several chapters explicitly discuss the role of morphological structure, as well as of lexical marking of accent. The 13 chapters collected here present a lively testimony of a field of inquiry that shows progress, while also identifying questions of ongoing concern.

Dimensions of Phonological Stress

  • Stress and accent are central, organizing features of grammar, but their precise nature continues to be a source of mystery and wonder. These issues come to the forefront in acquisition, where the tension between the abstract mental representations and the concrete physical manifestations of stress and accent is deeply reflected. Understanding the nature of the representations of stress and accent patterns, and understanding how stress and accent patterns are learned, informs all aspects of linguistic theory and language acquisition. These two themes - representation and acquisition - form the organizational backbone of this book. Each is addressed along different dimensions of stress and accent, including the position of an accent or stress within various prosodic domains and the acoustic dimensions along which the pronunciation of stress and accent may vary. The research presented in the book is multidisciplinary, encompassing theoretical linguistics, speech science, and computational and experimental research.
