Description

In this original account of metrical stress theory, Bruce Hayes builds on Liberman and Prince's notion that stress constitutes linguistic rhythm - that stress patterns are rhythmically organized and that formal structures proposed for rhythm can provide a suitable account of stress [...] Hayes incorporates the iambic/trochaic opposition into a general theory of word stress assignment, intended to account for all languages in which stress is assigned on phonological as opposed to morphological principles.
