Word-Stress Systems
This chapter provides a typological and theoretical overview of word stress. Drawing on broad cross-linguistic data, it discusses phonological and phonetic characteristics of stress. It evaluates the typological distribution of stress systems along multiple dimensions, including notions such as obligatoriness and culminativity, the directionality of edge orientation, weight (in)sensitivity, rhythm, stress windows, non-finality, boundedness, prima…
North America
This chapter explores the typologically rich but relatively understudied prosodic systems attested in North American Indian languages, many of which are either critically endangered or no longer spoken. Both word-level patterns (including stress, tone, and pitch accent) and higher-level phenomena (encompassing intonation and prosodic constituency) are considered within the broader contexts of prosodic typology and prosodic drift. Topics include s…
Phonetic and Phonological Research on Native American Languages
Aided by technological and theoretical advancements, the past century has witnessed a dramatic expansion in our knowledge of the phonetic and phonological properties of Native American languages. This research program, which is prominently featured in publications appearing in IJAL and elsewhere, has played a pivotal role in furthering our knowledge of the diversity of the sound patterns found in languages of the world and contributing to the dev…

A Fortition-Based Approach to Balto-Fennic-Sámi Consonant Gradation
La gradation de consonne est une alternance affectant les consonnes de la plupart des langues balto-fenniques et des dialectes du nord et de l'est du sami (lapon). Elle a ete un processus productif pendant la periode proto balto-fennique-sami il y a 3000 ans, mais s'est morphologisee, depuis, dans les langues filles. L'A. propose ici une analyse plausible de la gradation en la considerant comme un processus prosodique dirige phonetiquement qui s'…
