Abstract:

New Perspectives on English Word Stress explores the mechanism of word
stress assignment in contemporary English from different
methodological and theoretical perspectives. Comprising nine chapters,
these approaches include a historical overview of the study of stress;
the relationship between historic changes in stress and meaning; the
relationship between spelling and stress; syllable weight and stress;
the theoretical treatment of exceptions; stress mechanisms in
Australian English; and stress in Singapore English. The book presents
new data and provides the reader with access to various approaches to
English word stress in phonology.
