MORPHOLOGICAL STRESS
Keywords:

This article investigates the intricate relationship between morphology and stress assignment in English. It explores how derivational and inflectional processes influence the placement of primary stress, often leading to predictable shifts or retentions. We analyze various affixes and their prosodic effects, distinguishing between stress-neutral and stress-shifting morphemes. The study also considers the role of lexical categories and phonological rules in mediating these interactions. Ultimately, this research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of morphological stress phenomena, contributing to theories of prosodic phonology.
