The iambic/trochaic law
The iambic/trochaic law (ITL) asserts that listeners associate louder sounds with group onsets and longer sounds with group endings. The ITL has interested theoretical phonologists since Hayes' (1995) proposal that it may describe the perceptual underpinnings of the Foot Inventory (Hayes, 1995; McCarthy and Prince, 1986, 1996). This article surveys the growing experimental literature exploring perceptual ITL effects. The experimental findings to …
The influence of varying vowel phonation and duration on rhythmic grouping biases among Spanish and English speakers
The influence of vowel laryngealisation and duration on the rhythmic grouping preferences of Zapotec speakers
Beyond the Iambic-Trochaic Law
The Iambic-Trochaic Law (ITL) asserts that listeners associate greater acoustic intensity with group beginnings and greater duration with group endings. Some researchers have assumed a natural connection between these perceptual tendencies and universal principles underlying linguistic categories of rhythm. The experimental literature on ITL effects is limited in three ways. Few studies of listeners' perceptions of alternating sound sequences hav…

Vowel-Rhotic Metathesis in Guarayu
Guarayu (Tupí-Guaraní, Bolivia) has undergone a diachronic process of metathesis in which a word-final tap /ɾ/ exchanged positions with a preceding high nonfront vowel /ɨ/ or /u/. We propose a scenario for how such an exchange could occur, using Guarayu as a case study. A tap/vowel metathesis is presented as a timing readjustment that led to an exchange of phonemic status between a phonemic vowel on one side of the tap and an automatic intrusive …
Weight sensitivity and syllable codas in Srinagar Koshur
This paper describes and analyses the pattern of word stress found in the standard dialect of Koshur (Kashmiri) spoken in Srinagar. The significance of Koshur for studies of stress lies in that taken together, its pattern of stress assignment and a pervasive pattern of syncope conspire to produce a four-way syllable weight distinction that has sometimes been expressed as the scale CVːC>CVː>CVC>CV. The interesting feature of this type of scale is …
Un intercambio de vocales altas en el sirionó (tupí-guaraní)
Este trabalho visa a demonstrar um processo de mudança fonológica incomum e suas implicações para uma teoria de mudança lingüística como aquela proposta por Labov (1994). Concretamente, o artigo descreve a mudança diacrônica que se deu no Sirionó e no Bïa-yë, duas línguas Tupí-Guaraní faladas na região oriental da Bolívia. Em Bïa-yë as vogais *ɨ, *i, e suas contrapartes nasais, * ɨ̃ e * ĩ do Proto-Tupí, fundiram-se nas vogais / i / e / ĩ /, respe…
Iterative footing and prominence-driven stress in Nanti (Kampa)
In this article we describe and develop an optimality-theoretic (OT) analysis of foot-level (secondary) and word-level (primary) stress in Nanti, a Kampa language of Peru. The distribution of stress in Nanti is sensitive to rhythmic factors, syllable quantity, vowel quality, and to whether a syllable is open or closed. The interaction of these independent variables produces a complex, multigrade stress scale married to an iterative stress system …

Comparative markedness and identity effects in reduplication
In “Comparative Markedness” (henceforth CM), McCarthy (this volume) proposes that the markedness family of constraints should be divided into parallel sets of constraints distinguishing ‘old’ and ‘new’ violations. Whether a markedness violation is ‘old’ or ‘new’ is determined by comparing the candidate under evaluation with a ‘fully faithful candidate’ (FFC), defined in reference to a relation of correspondence. (In the case of input-output, or I…

Coda conditions and um infixation in Toba Batak
A Flip-Flop in Sirionó (Tupian)
Um Infixation and Prefixation in Toba Batak
This report examines the behavior of a morpheme um in Toba Batak (Malayo-Polynesian) which alternates as a prefix or an infix, and argues that the observed variation is conditioned by constraints on consonant clusters. Thus, Toba Batak shows that segmental factors may crucially influence the linear position of affixes, in contrast with a wealth of cases cited in the prosodic morphology literature in support of claims that the distributional prope…
An optimal alternative to Conflation
An issue which engaged the attention of phonologists following the publication of Halle & Vergnaud's ground-breaking Essay on stress (1987a) was the proper treatment of stress systems in which iterative foot structure is apparently required to locate the main prominence, yet expected secondary stresses are absent in the output. The solution proposed by Halle & Vergnaud was that unwanted secondary stresses are removed by a special repair mechanism…
Foot extrametricality and template mapping in Cupe o
Diminutives and augmentatives in Mexican Spanish
This paper argues for a prosodic constraint on the formation of diminutive and augmentative forms in Mexican Spanish. Specifically, the stem preceding diminutive (dim) and augmentative (aug) suffixes in this dialect must comprise an absolute minimum of two syllables. When a stem melody cannot satisfy the two-syllable minimum, an epenthetic vowel (V) [e] surfaces at the right edge of the stem (e.g. panesito ‘little bread’ ← pan ). In the analysis …
