Abstract:

This dissertation develops a purely tonal model of free stress systems
exemplified by East Slavic. The author demonstrates that tonal representations
and processing mechanisms can successfully account for the same scope of data
as the existing analyses of free stress based on accents and similar
diacritical marking. The adoption of tonal representations arguably results in
simpler analyses. The difference between dominant and recessive accented
suffixes is now explained as following from the different association status
of the underlying high tone. It is proposed that the increased prominence of
the immediately pretonic syllable
in many East Slavic dialects can be seen as resulting from the spreading of
phonological tone. Next, the tonal model developed for East Slavic stress is
extended to the accentuation of Proto-Indo-European athematic nouns and to
length alternations in Slovak with encouraging results. Given the tonal model
of free stress, it is concluded that free stress is incompatible with
unpredictable tone.

This thesis will be of interest to those working in the area of Slavic
linguistics, in theoretical phonology and especially to linguists interested
in stress, tone and accentuation.
