Abstract:

This monograph is concerned with the question of why some English words have
more than one stress pattern. E.g., 'overt vs. o'vert,
'pulsate vs. pul'sate, etc. It is argued that cases such as these are due to
the fact that the morphological structure of one and the same English
word can sometimes be analyzed in more than one way. Thus, 'overt is the
stress pattern of the suffixation analysis over + -t, whereas o'vert
is due to the prefixation analysis o- + -vert (cf. covert). Similarly, pulsate
is simultaneously pulse + -ate (i.e., a suffixed derivative) and a
back-derivative from pul'satance.

„Tokar’s approach in the use of both dictionary and corpus data holds promise
of a scholarly breakthrough on the vital linguistic prosodic topic
of English stress assignment of doublets and of stress assignment in general.“
(Irmengard Rauch, Professor of Germanic Linguistics at the
University of California, Berkeley)
