Abstract:

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.
