Description

This book examines the influences of morphological factors on stress and pitch accent within Optimality Theory. It argues that two developments in the theory of faithfulness constraints define a typology of morpho-accentual processes. In one type of process, dubbed 'root-controlled accent', inherent accent in roots takes precedence over inherent affix accent. It is claimed that root-controlled accent follows from the privileged faithfulness status of roots. The second type, 'affix-controlled accent' is argued to be a consequence of a new type of constraint, anti-faithfulness, which evaluates a pair of words and requires an alteration in the shared stem. Languages considered: Japanese, Russian, Limburgh Dutch, Aguaruna (Jivaroan), and Cupeno (Uto-Aztecan).
