INTRODUCTION

One of

the

major

endeavors

n

theoretical

phonology

over

the

past

quarter

century has been

to

develop

a

metrical stress

theory

which

offers ad-

equate empirical coverage of

attested stress

systems

with a

minimal

amountof overgeneration f unattestedpatterns.As ourdatabaseon stress

has enlarged

during

this time, the

challenge of

constructing

a

restrict-

ive yet

sufficiently

rich

metrical

theory

has

increased.

Several theories

have

emergedin

response

to this growing

challenge, both

in

rule-based

frameworks

e.g.,

Liberman

and Prince

1977; Prince

1983; Hayes 1980,

1995;

Halle

and

Vergnaud

1987, etc.) and, more

recently,

n

a constraint-

based

paradigm

(Crowhurstand Hewitt

1994;

Kager 1999; Kenstowicz

1997;

Walker

1996;

Alber

1997;Eisner

1997;

Bakovic

1996,

1998;

Elen-

baas 1999; Elenbaas and Kager 1999). OptimalityTheory (Prince and

Smolensky 1993),

with

its

hierarchically

ranked

constraints

goveming

phonological

well-formedness,has provided

fertilegroundfor

evaluating

metrical

tress

theories.

By

permuting he

constraint

ankings, t is

possible

to

constructa

factorial

ypology of

stress

whoseempirical

coverage

can be

compared

against

cross-linguistic

stress

data.

This

paper

belongs to the

research

program

employing

factorialtypo-

logies as a means

of

assessing the

predictive

powerof

metrical

constraints

(cf. Eisner 1997; Elenbaasand Kager 1999). The proposedaccount tests

the

stress

patterns

generatedby a

set of

constraints

against those

found

MATTHEW

ORDON

in what

is intended

to

be

a

fairly

exhaustive

survey

of

quantity-insensitive

stresssystems, i.e.,

those

in which

syllable weight

does not influencestress

placement.

This

survey

revealsseveralstress

patterns hat,

to the best of

my

knowledge,

have not been

previously reported

n the theoretical

iterature

and

turnout to be

of interest

or

metrical

stress

typology.

An

area

in which the

present

work differs from other works

on

stress

within Optimality Theory

is

in

terms

of

its

representations

of

stress.

A

theory

of stress is

developed

that

does not

appeal

to the metrical

foot;

rather, he proposed

constraints

refer

directly

to the well-formedness of

different

stress

configurations, ollowing

earlier work

by

Prince

(1983)

and Selkirk (1984) within a derivational ramework,and more recently

by

Walker

1996)

in a

constraint-based

aradigm.

While

many

of the

ad-

opted

constraints

are familiar from

the

literature,

ome are novel either

in their method of evaluation

or their

formulation, ncluding

an

expanded

set

of

anti-lapseconstraints

and a constraint

which

requires

hat

stress be

aligned

with

both

edges

of

a word.

Although

the

goal

of the

present

work

is not to consider the entire body of evidence

for

metrical

constituency

(cf.

Kenstowicz

1994

and

Hayes

1995

for discussion of such

evidence,

e.g., segmentalrules,minimalwordrequirements, rosodicmorphology),

it

is

shown that constraints

referringdirectly

to stress without the inter-

mediary

of

foot structure

are sufficient to account for the full

range

of

quantity-insensitive

tress

systems,

while

suffering

from

a modicum of

overgeneration

f a

typically non-pathologic

nature.

1.1. Representations f Stress

Althoughtheproposedtheoryshareswith muchcurrentwork its adoption

of a

constraint-based

aradigm,

t differs

from

most

contemporarywork

in

its

grid-basedratherthan foot-based representations f stress, follow-

ing

Prince

(1983) and Selkirk (1984). Following this work, the

present

analysis

assumes that the

level of stress associated with a syllable is a

function

of

the number of

levels

of

grid

marks above

a given

syllable.

Thus,

an

unstressedsyllable has a single grid mark above it (abstracting

away

from

weight-sensitivestress),

a

secondarystressed syllable has two,

anda syllable withprimarystress has threelevels of grid marks above it.

Adopting these representations, binarystress system with primary

tress

on

the initial

syllable and secondary tress on odd-numbered yllablesafter

the first

would

display

the

following associationsbetween grid marksand

syllables

for

words with

five and six syllables (1).

1.2.

A

Typologyof Quantity-insensitive

tress

As

a

startingpoint

in the

investigation,

an extensive

survey

of

quantity-

insensitive stress was conducted using

a combination

of

grammars

and

existing typologies

of

quantity-insensitive

tress, including

those

in works

by Hyman (1977), Hayes(1980, 1995), andHalleandVergnaud 1987). A

total

of

262 languages,

all

languages

with

predictable

quantity-insensitive

stress

patterns i.e., predominantly

non-phonemic

with a

clearly

dominant

pattern)

or

which I

could find data, were

included n the

presentsurvey.'

In

analyzingthe

results of the survey, t is useful to sort stress patterns

into three basic groups:

anguages

with

fixed stress

(either a single stress

or two

stresses), languages

with binary alternating tress, and those

with

ternaryalternating tress.

The presentation

n

this paper

will center around

these

threecore stress types.

For each class of stresssystems, results of the

cross-linguisticsurvey

will

be presented, ollowed

by the constraints elev-

ant for

yielding

the attestedpatterns,and thefactorial ypology of patterns

arising throughpermutation

of

the

rankings

of the proposed constraints.

The

coarse

taxonomyof

quantity-insensitive tress

systems is summarized

in

TableI, along with the section

in

which each system

is covered.

FIXED STRESS

The most

straightforward

ystem of phonologically

predictablestress is

one

in

which

there is a

single stress per word falling

a fixed distance from

the

word

edge. Interestingly,

as pointed out by Hyman

(1977), of the set

Many

of the stress

systems

in

the survey are sensitive to

morphology o some degree,

a

factor that is not

treated n

the presentpaper.

in

Languages

with initial

and

include, among

many others,

Arabela

(Rich 1963),

Chitimacha

Swadesh

1946),

and

Nenets

(Decsy

Similarly,many

languages

have final

stress, e.g., Atayal

(Egerod

1966), Moghol (Weiers

1972), Mazatec (Pike and

Pike

1947).

Also

very

common are

languages

with

penultimate

stress, e.g.,

Mohawk

(Chafe

1977),

Albanian

(Hetzer

1978),

and

Jaqaru(Hardman-de-Bautista

Considerably

rarer

are

the

peninitial

e.g.,

Lakota

(Boas

and Deloria

1933, 1941),

Koryak

(Zhukova1972), and the antepenultimate attern,e.g., Macedonian Lunt

1952),

Wappo (Radin 1929).

Another type of fixed stress

system

involves

two fixed stresses

per

word.

The present

survey

ncludes

14 such 'dual

stress'

languages,

a

small

number n

comparison

o the 167

single

stress

languages.

Table III

sum-

marizes

the numberof

languages

(language

in

the

survey

displaying

each

subtype

of stress

system

involving

two

fixed

stresses

(the

location of

primary

stress

falls on the

x-axis

and

secondary

stresson the

y-axis;

unattested

patterns

are indicated

by

a

dash;

logically

impossible patterns

are

shaded).

Interestingly,

of the 20

possible

combinations

(factoring

in

patterns

which

differ

only

in

which of the stresses

is

primary

and

which is sec-

ondary),only five areexploited.The numerousgaps in the set of attested

fixed

stresssystems with two stresses are

explored

urther n

the discussion

of the factorial

typology analysis

in section 2.2. All of

the

attested dual

stress

patterns,

with

the

exception

of two

of

the three

initial

plus

final

patterns,

Canadian

French and

Armenian,

do not allow stress

clashes;

in

clash

contexts,

for

example,

in

trisyllabic

words

in

languages

with

initial

and

penultimate

stress,

the

syllable

carrying

primary

stress in

non-clash

contexts takes the

only

stress.

2.1. A

ConstraintSet

for

Fixed

Stress

and

Resulting

Patterns

The set of

fixed stress

patterns

s accounted or

in

straightforwardashion

by

a

relatively

standard et of

Optimality-theoretic

onstraints,

certain of

which are formulated

n

slightly

novel

ways.

These

constraints

will

be

in-

troduced

as

we

consider he variousstress

systems

which

provideevidence

for them.

2.1.1. The

ALiGN

ConstraintFamily

Followingprevious

work

n

OT,

the

attraction f

stress

by edges is

modeled

by

constraints

equiring

stress to be

aligned

with

wordedges.

Two of

the

ALIGN

constraintswhich

play an important ole

in the

theory developed

here

serve

the

same function

as

constraintsalready amiliar

rom the

theor-

etical

literature,

.g., McCarthy

and

Prince

(1993),

Crowhurst nd

Hewitt

(1994), among

others. One of

these constraints

requires hat

stressedsyl-

lables be

aligned

with

the left

edge of a prosodic word, while the other

demandsthat

stressed

syllables

be

aligned with the

right

edge. Given the

grid-based

representationsassumed

here, the ALIGN

constraintscan

be

formalized

n

terms of

alignment

of

grid marksto

the metrical grid.

The

relevant

constraints ake the

form in

(2) andrequire hat

every grid

mark

be

aligned

with

either the left

or right

edge of the

immediately ower

level

of

grid

marks.

For

example,

a word

with

stress

on

both

the second and the third

syllables

incurs three total

violations of ALIGN

(xieveii,

L, level 0, PrWd), two for

the stress on the

third

syllable

and one for the stress

on the

second

syllable (see (5)

below

for an example tableau).

Another ALIGN

constraintwhich is not familiarfrom the

literature s

a broad constraint ALIGN

(EDGES,

level

0, PrWd, xlevel

),

which

requires

that the edges of level 0 of a prosodic word, i.e., both the initial and

the final

syllable,

be

aligned

with a

level

1

grid

mark. Violations are

calculated

n a

simple

fashion: one violation is incurred

f

eitherthe initial

carry

a

level

grid mark,

and two

violations

are incurred

f

both the initial and

the

final

syllables

do not have a level

grid mark. ALIGN (EDGES, level 0, PrWd, xlevel

)

is thus in some sense an

apodic conglomeration

of the

constraints ALIGN-LEFT

and ALIGN-RIGHT

(Kager 1999; Elenbaas and Kager 1999), which require hat words begin

and end, respectively, with a foot. ALIGN (EDGES, level 0, PrWd, Xlevel)

will

be shownto play an important ole in languages with both initial and

final stress; these include CanadianFrench (Gendron 1966), Armenian

(Vaux 1998), and Udihe (Kormushin1998), which are discussed below,

and

Tauya (MacDonald 1990), which is consideredin section 3.3. This

should

be

noted

that, although

the ALIGN

assumed

that

other

members

of

the ALIGN

sensitive to

different

2.1.2.

Initial Stress

and

Final

Stress

Given the

ALIGN

constraints,

we are

in a

position

to

generate

three of the

fixed stress patterns.

The

general

ranking

schema

which

generates

single

fixed stress

systems

involves

one

general

ALIGN

constraintdominating

other

ALIGN constraints

and

*LAPSE.

Following

standard

procedure

n

OptimalityTheory,

variation

by

the

highly

ranked

ALIGN constraintyields

differences

between

languages

in

the

edge

or

edges towardwhich stressis attracted.Stresssystems with a single stress

on the initial syllable reflect

an

undominated

ALIGN

(x1, L)

ranked

above

ALIGN

(x1,

R), and

ALIGN

EDGES.

In

stress

systems displaying

a

single

stress

on the final

syllable,

ALIGN

(x1,

R)

is inviolable and rankedabove

ALIGN (x1, L)

and

ALIGN

EDGES.

Finally,

ALIGN

EDGES

plays

a crucial

role

in

the

CanadianFrenchpatternreported

by Gendron (1966),

which

involves primary

tress on

the final syllable

and

secondarystress

on the

ini-

tial

syllable,

even

in

clash

contexts.13

Vaux

(1998)

reports

a similar

pattern

involving primarystresson the ultima andsecondary stress on the initial

syllable

in most varieties

of

Armenian;

he

secondary

stress on an initial

syllable containing

a

high

vowel

is

suppressed.

Certainvarietiesof Udihe

also

place primary

tress on the

ultimaand

secondary

on the

initial

syllable

(Kormushin

1998),

with Nikolaeva

and

Tolskaya (2001) suggesting

that

the secondary

stresson the

initial

syllable is

either completely suppressed

or

very

weak

in

disyllables.14

To capture hese

initial

plus

final

stress

patterns,

ALIGN EDGES ensures

thatsyllablesatboth edges of the word are stressed.The promotionof the

final stress to primarystatus

in CanadianFrench,

Armenian, and Udihe

reflects the rankingof

ALIGN (X2,R) over

ALIGN (X2,L). The schematic

example

in

(6) provides

a closer look at the rankings yielding primary

stress

on

the final syllable and

secondarystresson the initial syllable.

13 In his studyof CanadianFrench,Gendron 1966,

p.

150) contrastsvarietiesof

French

spoken

in

Canada,which place secondarystress

on

the initial

syllable,

even in

disyllables,

with

ParisianFrench,

which lacks this secondarystress. He

observes that

vowels in initial

and final

syllables are

longer

and articulatedmore

strongly

than

vowels in

word-medial

syllables, which, in the case of

the high

vowels lil

and

lul, may devoice

or delete word-

medially. Other

accountsof Canadian

French

I

have located

only mention the

primary

stress on the

final syllable.

14

Nikolaevaand Tolskaya

(2001)

also

discuss

a

varietyof Udihe

with

quantity-sensitive

stress.

three sensitive

to

lapses

at word

edges

are assumed here.

The two

gen-

eral

LAPSE constraintswill

play

a critical role in the

binary

and

ternary

stress

pattems

to be discussed in sections 3 and

4, respectively.

The

first

of these

constraints,

*LAPSE,

bans

adjacent

stressless

syllables

and is

im-

portant

in

binary

stress

systems (section 3).

Violations of

*LAPSE

are

assessed

gradiently;thus,

a

string

of three

adjacent

stressless

syllables

incurs two violations of

*LAPSE,

while a

string

of four

adjacent

stress-

less syllables

incurs three violations of

*LAPSE.

Similarly,

a word

with

two

non-contiguous sequences

of two unstressed

syllables

suffers two

violations

of

*LAPSE.

Thesecondconstraint,

EXTENDEDLAPSE,

is decisivein ternary tress

systems (section

4);

it bans a

sequence

of morethantwo

adjacent

tressless

syllables.

Violationsof

*EXTENDEDLAPSEare

also

gradient; hus,

a

string

of four

adjacent

stressless

syllables

incurs two violations

of

*EXTENDED

LAPSE

(and also threeviolationsof

*LAPSE),

as do two

non-contiguous e-

quences

of three unstressed

yllables.

The

two

general

*LAPSE

constraints

are formalized

n

(8).

(8)

*LAPSE

constraints

a. *LAPSE:

A

string

of more than one

consecutive

stressless

syl-

lable may not

occur.(A

sequence

of

more than one

consecutive

syllable

lacking

a level

1

s

banned.)

b.

*EXTENDEDLAPSE:

A

string

of more

than two

consecutive

stressless

syllables

may

not occur.

(A sequence of

more than

two consecutive

syllables

lacking

a level

gridmark

s banned.)

It

should be noted that the

formulationof

*LAPSE

is

different

from other

anti-lapse

constraints n

the

literature,

ncludingversions

referring o met-

rical feet,

e.g., Kager's (1994)

PARSE-2and

Green and Kenstowicz's

as

well as versions

referring

to the

metrical

grid, e.g.,

Elenbaas

(1999)

and

Elenbaasand

Kager (1999).18

The members of

the *LAPSE

constraint

family crucial for

capturing

the remainingfixed stress patterns are specific to stress lapses at do-

main

edges, following work

by Alderete (1999).

Avoidance

of stress

lapses

at

word

edges is

perhaps

most obvious in

quantity-sensitive lan-

guages

with

stress

windows, e.g.,

Piraha

(Everett

and Everett

1984; Everett

1986, 1988),

Kobon

(Davies

1980

in

Kenstowicz 1997),

The constraints esponsible

of

the

sub-family

of constraints.

A

more

*CLASH:

A stress domain does not contain

stressed

carrying

A

is

incurredfor each additional

Georgian (Zhgenti 1964;

a

slight

variation on the

Sibutu Sama

pattern.

In

Georgian,

stress falls on both the initial

and

the

antepenultimate syllables

in

words over four

syllables long

and

only

on

the

antepenult

in

tetrasyllabic

words.23

re-

flects an undominated

The

secondary stress on

the initial syllable

in words of at least five

syllables reflects the ranking

of *LAPSE LEFT

>>

ALIGN

(X1, R).

The fact that

the initial

syllable

rather than the

peninitial syllable

is selected for stress within

the window

defined

by

*LAPSE

LEFT

is ascribed to the

ranking

of ALIGN

(X2, L) over

ALIGN

(X2, R). Finally,

ALIGN

(X2, R)

is ranked

above ALIGN (X2, L),

thereby accounting

for the

promotion

of the stress on

the antepenult to

primary stress in words with two stresses. The rankings for Georgian are

25

As

out,

the fact that

to

26

As an

exercise,

the

was also

computed

without

the

ranking

of either ALIGN

or ALIGN

below other stress

constraints.This

resulted

in a

of

(includingbinary

as

A FACTORIALTYPOLOGYOF

QUANTITY-INSENSITIVE TRESS

511

The task of

calculating

a factorial

typology

for a set of twelve

con-

straints

s

appreciable.

Permuting

he

ranking

of twelve

constraintsn

all

possible ways yields an a prioritotal

of 12 or

479,001,600 logically pos-

sible rankings.

Given the tremendous

analytic complexity

of

calculating

the

output sets generated

for all these

rankings,

the task was

deleg-

ated to

Hayes

which

computes

factorial ypologies

for a set

of

constraints

and candidates

using

Tesar

and

Smolensky's

algorithm.

The

input

iles for

the

OT softwareconsist of

a set of

constraints

and a

set of candidate orms

and

theirconstraintviolations.Toexpeditethe

process,

the

candidatesand

their

violations were also generatedby computer.27

Each

output

set

generatedby

the

typology

consists of a series

of

eight

forms,

each one

corresponding

o

a word with a differentnumber

of

syl-

lables. The set of

forms in (20) is one

sample outputset,

corresponding

to

the

stress

pattern

found

in

Sibutu Sama, generated

by

the

typology:

primary stress

on

the penultimate syllable and

secondary

stress on the

initial syllable in

words of at least four

syllables.

Overall

results of the

factorial

typology indicated

a

strikingly good

fit

between

the

survey

of

attested stress

patterns

and the

proposed

con-

straint set. Of the

479,001,600

logically possible rankings and the

10,823,318,000,000 logically possible output sets given a set of candid-

ates

consisting

of

between one and

eight syllables,28a

limitationsprohibit

detailedexaminationof these patterns,we

may considerone such

case,

involving

final

stress in

di- and trisyllabic

words but

penultimatestress in longer words.

This

system results from the ranking

ALIGN (X2, L), ALIGN

(X2, R), *LAPSE RIGHT

>>

*EXT LAPSE

>>

ALIGN

(X1, R)

?>

ALIGN (X1, L), ALIGN

EDGES. The inviolable

status

of both ALIGN

onstraints

eferring

o main stress

ensures only

one stressper word,

which

must fall on

one

of

the final

two syllables due to highly ranked

*LAPSERIGHT.

Because

*EXT

LAPSE

cannot be

violated

in

disyllables and trisyllables,

the stress is free to fall on

the finalsyllable,thereby satisfying the highest rankedALIGN onstraint,ALIGN X1, R).

However,

n

longer

words, where*EXTLAPSE iolations

become an issue, the stress

shifts

to

the

penult

in

orderto

minimize violations

of

*EXT

LAPSE.

2.3.2. Dual Stress

Systems

Generated

by

Factorial

Typology

Dual stress

results from

the low

ranking

of

the

general

*LAPSE

constraints,

coupled

with the

relativelyhigh ranking

of one or more constraints

which

requirestresses

at

or

near

edges:

ALIGN EDGES

and/or

a

*LAPSE

EDGE

constraint(s). briefly

summarize

he

general

ranking

schemas

generating

the

core

types

of

dual stress

systems

in terms of their stress locations

(see

Table

V for the

rankings

which

generate

the

subpatterns).

As

we saw

in

section

2.1.2,

a

highly

ranked

ALIGN

EDGES

s

responsible

for dual stress

patterns

with initial and

final stress. If

a *LAPSEEDGEconstraint

oriented

toward

the

right edge

is ranked

highly

in

conjunction

with

the

ranking

NONFINALITY

>>

ALIGN

EDGES,

dual

stress

systems involving

stress

on

the

initial

syllable

plus

either the

penult (high

ranked

*LAPSE

RIGHT)

or

the antepenult highranked

*EXTENDEDLAPSERIGHT)

result.Peninitial

plus final stress

reflects

a

highly

ranked

*LAPSE

LEFT

and either a highly

ranked *LAPSERIGHT

or

*EXTENDEDLAPSE RIGHT

n

conjunction

with

the ranking

of ALIGN

(X1, R)

above bothNONFINALITY

nd

ALIGN(X1,

L).

In

such systems,

the stress on the final syllable is

in

response

to a

*LAPSE EDGE

constraint

pulling

stress toward the

right edge.

Because

ALIGN

(X1, R)

is rankedabove

NONFINALITY

and ALIGN

(X1,

L),

the

rightmost tress

falls

on

the final

syllable

within

the window definedby the

LAPSE EDGE

constraint.Peninitial plus penultimatestress follows from

the

ranking

*LAPSE

LEFT,

NONFINALITY

?>

ALIGN

(X1, R)

>>

ALIGN

(X1, L).

The

stress

on the

peninitial syllable

follows from

the

rankingof

LAPSE LEFT above ALIGN

(X1, R),

while the

penultimatestress

results

from the

ranking

of

NONFINALITY bove

ALIGN

(X1, R).

Because

all the

peninitial plus penultimatepatterns

nvolve

an

inviolableNONFINALITY,

all have

penultimate

tress rather

han

peninitial

stress in disyllables.

Hypothetical systems

involving peninitial

plus antepenultimate tress

are not generated,as both peninitialand antepenultimate tress are the

result of highly ranked

*LAPSE EDGE

constraints

acting antagonistically

toward an ALIGN constraint

pulling

toward the opposite edge. Because

one

of

the

constraintsALIGN (X1, L)

or

ALIGN (X1, R) must be ranked

above its sister

constraint pulling

in

the opposite direction,

rankings

will never

give

rise to the

bi-directionalpull

requiredfor peninitial plus

antepenultimate

tress.

A FACTORIAL

TYPOLOGY

OF

QUANTITY-INSENSITIVETRESS

515

All

of the

dual stress

systems

come

in

variants

differing

n

which of

the

stresses is the main

one,

according

to whether

ALIGN

X2,

L)

or

ALIGN

(X2, R) is

highly ranked,

and

differing

in

whether stress clashes are

al-

lowed

or

not,

depending

on the

ranking

of *CLASH.n

case clashes are

not

allowed,

there

are different

strategies

for

resolving

the

clash,

depending

on the

relative

ranking

of the

constraints

producing

the stresses

oriented

toward

each

edge

of

the

word.

Table

V

summarizesthe dual

fixed stress

systems

generated

by

the

typology.

The

shaded stress

patterns

are discussed

later.

'1'

represents

both

primary

stressed and

secondary

stressed

syllables

in

Table

V

and

subsequent ables,wheredifferences n whichof the stresses s theprimary

one are

considered a

separate dimension from

the distinction

between

stressed

and

unstressed

yllables. Stress

patterns

which

are not

predictable

from

the verbal

descriptionare indicated in

bracketswhere '1'

indicates

a

stressed

syllable and

'0'

indicates

a

stressless

syllable.

For

example,

[10]

following a

stress

patterndescribedas initial

and final

means

that

the

stress on the

initial

syllable

survives in

the

potentialclash

context

arising

in

disyllabic

words.

Seventeendistinctpatternswere generated,each of which occurs in

two variants

differing

n

which.of the

stresses is

the

primary

one, depend-

ing

on the

relative

ranking of

ALIGN

(X2, L)

and

ALIGN

(X2,

R).

All

of

the dual

stress

patterns

ound

in

the

survey

were

generated.

Other novel

generated

patterns

nvolved

combinationsof

elements

attested n

isolation

but

not

in

all

combinations.

Thus,

unattestedpatterns

deviate

from oth-

ers

in

their

treatment

of stress

clashes,

their

combinationof

stress

sites,

and

their

location

of

primarystress. For

example,

pattern2

differs from

pattern3 only in resolving stress clashes in disyllables in favor of the

initial

rather

hanthe

final

syllable.

Pattern

6 is

analogousto the

attested

initial

plus

penultimate

patterns

4

(Lower

Sorbian)and 5

(Sanuma)

except

for

its

tolerance

of

stress

clashes in

trisyllabic

words. Two

of

the more

interesting

patterns

are 7

and 11.

Pattern7

displays

initialplus

penultimate

stress

wherever

this will

not trigger

a

stressclash,

but

surprisingly

acks

the stress

on

the

initial

syllable in

four

syllable

words

where

there is

no

potential for a

stress clash

with

the

penultimate

syllable.

This

system has

the interesting property of having *EXTENDEDLAPSE be highly ranked

enough

to

influence the

stress

system, but

yet

not highly

enough to be

inviolable, as it

is in

binaryand

ternary

ystems.

The

asymmetry

words

with

four

syllables

which lack

stress

initial

syllable

and

A

relevant

observation s

that the

only generate

dual

stress

systems

involving combinations

of

stresses

which

are attested

in isolation. This observation is not trivial, since the set of logically

possible two stress

systems

is

quite

substantial;

hese

include

systems

with

combinations of

stresses not

found

in

isolation,

e.g., initial

plus

preantepenultimate,

ostpeninitial

tc., as

well as

combinations

differingas a

function

of number

of

syllables in

non-clash

contexts,

e.g.,

initial

three

syllable

words and

initial

four-syllable

words. It is

also a

desirable

prop-

erty

of

hough

the

possibility

of

accidental

precludesestablishingthis with confidence,thatthey fail to generateun-

both

e.g., initial

Turning

o

the

matterof

overgeneration,

hesmall

numberof dual

(14

in

makes it

difficult to

assess

whether the

GORDON

sible

dual

stress

patterns.

The

first of these

is that dual stress

languages

as a

whole

are

relatively

rare relative

to

single

stress

languages.

While

we

cannot

be sure

of the

reasons

for the

rarity

of dual

stress in

general,

we may speculate

that

their

rarity

s related to the fact

that a stress

at

or

near

a single

edge

is sufficient

to serve

the demarcative unction

of

stress

suggested

by Hyman

(1977).

Pursuing

this line of reasoning,

adding

an

additional

tress

at the

opposite

end of the wordwouldprovide

little if any

benefit

from

a

parsing

standpoint,

perhaps

even

complicating

the

online

parse by

introducing

a second stress

for

the listenerto

track.

The second

argument

n favor of

the accidental

gap

interpretation

s

thatmost of the unattesteddual stresspatterns,with the exceptionof the

unattested

nitial

plus

final

system

(pattern

2),

involve elements

which

are

independently

rare.

The first

of these

rare

properties

are stress

clashes,

which are

avoidedby

most

quantity-insensitive

anguages

regardless

of

theirtype of

stress

system.

Thus,

all but

two

of the dual stress

languages

(12

of 14) found

in the survey,

he

exceptional

ones

being

Canadian

French

and Armenian,

do not

tolerate

stress

clashes. This

observation s

particu-

larly

obvious

in

the case

of initial

plus penultimate

tress,

the most

widely

attested ypeof dual stresssystem.All ninelanguageswith initialpluspen-

ultimate

stress either

position

stress

on the

penult

or the initial

syllable,

but

not both,

in

trisyllabic

words.

Avoidanceof

stress clash is also apparent

n

binarysystems (section

3)

and

ternary

tress

systems(section

4).33

Given

the

rarity

of stress

clashes

in

general,

it is

plausible

that the unattested

but

generatedpatterns

nvolving

stress

clashes

fail

to

emerge

becausethey

violate an

anti-clash constraint.

The

fact that clash avoidance

is more

widely

attested

han

apse

avoidancesuggests

that t is more than ust sheer

rhythmicprincipleswhichmilitateagainstclashes. Onemayspeculatethat

clash

avoidance effects

are

particularly

QUANTITY-INSENSITIVE

519

Another

rarely

attested

property

shared

by many

of the

unattested

systems

is

their

positioning

of stress on

syllables

which tend to not

be

stress-attractingn single stresssystems. Severalof the generatedbutun-

attested

patterns

nvolve

peninitial

or

antepenultimate

tress

in

addition

to

anotherstress

at or near the

opposite edge.

Peninitialand

antepenultimate

stress are

independently

rare even

in

single

stress

languages (see Hyman

1977 for possible explanations

or

the

rarity

of these stress

systems).

Given

the

independentrarity

of

peninitial

and

antepenultimate

tress

in

single

stress

systems,

it

is not

surprising

that

systems

displaying

one

of

these

stress locations

in

combination

with anotherstress do

not show

up

in

any

language.

In

summary, here

are

three

factors which

plausibly conspire

to create

many

if

not

all of

the

gaps

in the

match

between

generated

and attested

patterns: he

rarity

of dual stress

systems

in

general,

he avoidance

of

stress

clash, and the

rarity

of

peninitial

and

antepenultimate

tress. Because

all

of the unattested

patternsgenerated

by

the

factorial

ypology

share

at

least

one of these

properties,

and most

display

more than

one,

it is reasonable o

assume

that

their likelihood of

surfacing

s

substantially

reduced relative

to otherstresssystems displayingmore favorable haracteristics.

In

has the

undesirableeffect

of

an

One of these patterns

nvolves stress on only the final syllable

in

words of two

and three

syllables, but both initial and final stress in

longer

words, .e., [01], [001], [1001], [10001],

[100001], etc. This pattern

reflects an undominated onstraint equiringa stress at the right edge. The

stress on the initial

syllable in

words of at least four syllables is due to the

rankingALIGN (X1, L)

>>

*EXTENDEDLAPSE

>>

ALIGN (X1, R).

The

initial stress

in

in better satisfaction

of

Turning

briefly

to the shaded

sub-patterns

n

Table

V,

all

of which

are

unattested,

here

is

a

property

hat

differentiates hem

from

those

which

are unshaded. n

the shaded

patterns,

primary

tress

fails to fall

a

consistent

distancefrom a wordedge across words of different engths.Forexample,

in

the

unattested

ubtype

of

pattern

5

(primary

tress on

the

initial

syllable

and

secondary

stress

on the

penult

in

words with

two

stresses),

primary

stress falls

on the

penult

in

words with two or

three

syllables,

whereas

primary tress falls on the

initial

syllable

in

wordsof at

least

four

syllables.

Thus,

the location

of the

primarystress relative to

the

word

edge

in

the

unattestedvariant

of

pattern

5

differs as a function of

numberof

syllables

in

the

word. This

contrasts

minimally

with the

attested

variantof

5,

in

whichprimarystressconsistentlyfalls on the penultin wordsof varying

lengths.Only

in

words that are not

long enoughto

provide

a

docking site

for

primary

tress which is

consistentwith

thatfound in

longer

words,e.g.,

in

monosyllabic

words, is the

preference or

uniformityof

primarystress

placement

relativeto an

edge

violated.

The absence

of

stress

systems

such

as the

unattested

variantof 5

reflects a

strong

cross-linguistic

endencyfor

stress

systems

to

be consistent in

their

location of

primary

stress

across

different

words

lengths,

as observed

by

van der

Hulst

(1984)

and Ham-

mond (1985). As Hammondpoints out, this has consequences for stress

The

survivingstress in

characteristically

he

one

carrying

multiple stresses are

present.

Thus,

in

the attested

variantof

pattern

5, the

stress on the

penult rather

han the

stress on

the

initial

syllable

is

preserved

in

trisyllabic words

where

stressing both the

initial and

the

penultimate

syllables would

entail a

stress

TYPOLOGYOF

QUANTITY-INSENSITIVE

TRESS

521

While

we

cannot be sure

of

the motivations

behind the

preference

or

uniformity

of

primary

tress

placement,

one

might speculate

hat

position-

ing primarystress the same distance from a wordedge across words of

different

engths

is

functionally

motivated

n

that it

provides

a

consistent

and reliable means for

determining

word

boundaries.34Given

a

string

of

speech

consisting

of several

words,

it is

thus

possible

to use the

primary

stress,

the

perceptually

most

prominent

tress,

to

parse

the

string

nto indi-

vidual

words,

therebyaidingin lexical

access.

Hyman(1977)

has made

a

similar

suggestion

regarding

he

demarcative unctionof

positioning

stress

near word

boundaries;hence the

popularity

of

languageswith stress at or

near wordedges.

Whatever he

ultimate

reason(s)

for

the cross-linguistic

preference or

uniformity

of

primary

stress

placement,

we

can attribute he absence of

the

shaded stress

patterns,which

comprise a

largepercentage

of

the unat-

tested fixed

stress patterns

generated

by the typology, to

their nconsistent

positioning

of

primary tress

across

words of different

engths.

Ultimately,

the

principle

that

excludes

the shaded

candidatesshould be

codified as a

formal

constraint

blocking

their

generation.

However,

implementationof such a constraintgoes beyond the scope of the present

where

3.2.2. BinaryPlus Internal

Lapse

Another

type

of

binary

plus lapse

stress

system

involves an

internal

rather

than

an

externallapse.

A

general

feature of these

systems (termed"bi-

directional"

by Elenbaas and Kager

1999)

is their

positioning

of

a

fixed

stress at

one

edge

and a

binary pattern

nitiating

at the other

edge.

The

fixed

stress at one edge is

the

result of a

highly

rankedconstraint

equiring

stress to

fall

at or near an

edge;

constraints

which

have this effect

are

the

*LAPSE

EDGE constraints and ALIGN EDGES.

The

origination point

of

the

basic

binarypattern

ound in

binary

plus lapse systems

is a functionof

the

ranking

of the ALIGN

(x1, {L/R},

0)

constraints and ALIGN EDGES.

An example of a binary plus internallapse system is provided by

Garawa

(Furby 1974),

in

which stress falls on even-numbered

yllables

counting

from

right

to

left but

skips

over

an

even-numbered

peninitial

syllable

in favor of

stressing

the initial

syllable.

The result

is a

stress

lapse

following

the initial

syllable

(which

carriesmain

stress)

in words with

an

odd

number

of

syllables.38

Examples

of Garawa

tress

The

of

the

differencebetween

GarawaandPintupifol-

lows the

basic

insight of

McCarthyand

Prince's (1993) work within a

foot-based ramework nd nvolvesa differencebetween the two languages

in

the relative

rankingof

ALIGN

In Garawa,

unlike in

Pintupi,

ALIGN

X1, R) is

rankedabove ALIGN X1,

L), thereby

accounting

for

the

fact that

the stress

lapse

in

odd parity

words occurs

immediatelyafter the

initial stress

rather han immediately

before the fi-

nal

stress;

thus, nadriginmukun

Like

and

Toillustrate he rankingswhichgeneratebinaryplus clash systems,let

us consider n

detail the

analysisof the

binaryplus

system

in

Tauya,

a Trans

New Guinean

anguagespoken

n

Papua

New

Guinea

(MacDonald

1990).

In

Tauya,

primarystress

falls

on

the final syllable, and

secondary

stress

falls on

the initial

syllable

and

on

alternatingyllables

counting

back

fromthe

final one. The

requirement

hat

the initial syllable

be stressed

n

Tauya

creates

a stress clash

between the

first two

syllables

in

words with

an even

numberof

syllables;

forms

illustrating

stress in

Tauya appear

n

(30).

The

constraint

at work in Tauya

closely

resemble those

operat-

ive in

Maranungku.

One

important

differencebetween the

two

languages,

however,

lies

in

the

relative

rankingof ALIGN

EDGES and

*CLASH. The

presence of stress

on both the

initial and

the final

syllables is

indicative

of

ALIGN EDGES

being rankedabove

*CLASH

in Tauya,as a stressclash

regularly

arises in

words with an

of

syllables. The Tauya

Binary

Plus

Lapse

SystemsGenerated

by

the Factorial

Yypology

Turning

to the

binary plus

lapse

systems,

of

the

13

generated

patterns,

four are

attested.

Pattern

11, odd-numbered rom

left to

right

plus

penult,

is found in Piro (Matteson1965). Pattern13, odd-numbered rom left to

right

except

final

syllables,

is

widely

attested,as, for

example,

in

Pintupi

(Hansen and

Hansen

1969,

1978). It is

worth

noting that the

proposed

constraints ail

to

generate the mirror

mage

counterpart

f

Pintupi,

odd-

numbered

from right

to left

except the

initial

syllable.

This

patternis

not

generated

because there is

no

left-edge

counterpart

o

NONFINALITY

which

bans

stress on

the

initial

syllable.

The

failureto

generate he

mirror

image

counterpart

o the

Pintupi

pattern

s a

virtue of

the

constraint et,

as

it is unattestedo the best of my knowledge.

Pattern17,

even-numbered

rom right

to

left plus

initial, occurs

in

languages

with

the

'initial-

dactyl'

effect

(see

Prince

1983;

Hayes

1995

for

discussion),

e.g.,

Indonesian,

Spanish.

This

pattern

differs

minimally

from

pattern

19,

which

is

also

attested

(e.g.,

in

Garawa), n

preserving

the

stress

on the

penult rather

than the

initial

syllable in

clash

contexts

in

three-syllable

words.

Most of the

unattested

patterns

closely

resemble

attested

patterns,

differing

minimally

along

a small

set of

dimensions:

he

directionality f stressassignment, heanchoring ite forthestressfixedat

the

opposite

edge from

the

originationpoint

of

the

alternating

tress

count,

and

the

resolution

of

It

is

interesting to

note

that some

binary plus

lapse

systems

display

stress

clashes in

relatively

short

words.For

example,

stress

patterns16

and

22

MATTHEWORDON

and22 arisewhen

ALIGN EDGES is ranked above *CLASH

which in

turn

is rankedabove *LAPSE.

This

rankinggives

rise to

stress clashes but

only

in

disyllabic words where ALIGN EDGES

can otherwise not be

satisfied.

A similar situation can arise

in

trisyllabic

words in a

language (patterns

15

and 18)

in which *LAPSE

RIGHT

andNONFINALITY are

undominated

and crucially

rankedabove

ALIGN

EDGES

which in

turn

s

ranked

above

*CLASH. Under

this

scenario,

the initial

syllable

and the

penult

will

al-

ways be stressed

even

if

this

entails a stress

clash,

as

arises

in

trisyllabic

words. This subset of

binary plus lapse systems

involving

stress clashes

in

either disyllabic or

trisyllabic

words

might

be

regarded

as

pathologic,

sincethey represent n unattestedypeof hybridsystemwitheitherclashes

and lapses depending

on the

length

of

the word. Similar

ternarysystems

are also

generated

by

the

proposed

constraints

see

section

4.1).

There

is,

however, at least

a

possibility

that

this

gap

is an

accidental one

related

to the

independentrarity

of

quantity-insensitive

tress

systems

which

are

tolerant of

clashes,

following

discussion

in

section 2.2.2.

I leave this an

open matter

or futureresearch.

In all of the

binaryplus lapse

systems featuring

an

internal

apse,

the

fixed stress situated at the oppositeedge of originationpoint of the bin-

ary

count

falls on one

of

four

syllables:

the initial

syllable,

the

peninitial

syllable,

the final

syllable,

and

the

penult.

Of these

four

docking

sites

gen-

erated

in

binary plus lapse

systems,

two are

attested:the initial

syllable

(patterns17, 19)

and the

penultimate

syllable (1 1).

Whether he

absence

of

binary plus lapse

systems

with

a

fixed stress on the final

or

peninitial

syllable

reflects an accidental

gap

or

not is

unclear,

hough

the

accidental

gap interpretation

eems reasonable

given

the small

number

of

binary

plus

lapse systems observedcross-linguistically.

If the

atomistic alternative

o ALIGN

EDGES

were

adopted,

an

addi-

tional three unattested

binaryplus

lapse patterns

would

be

generated.

One

of

these

patterns

s

nearly

identical to

pattern 14, differing only in

the

preservation

f the

stress

on

the final

syllable

rather han

the

initialsyllable

in

disyllables:

[01], [101], [1001],

[10101], [101001], [1010101].

This

pattern

results from

a

combinationof an

undominated

constraint

requir-

ing

stress at the

right

edge

in

conjunction

with an

undominated CLASH.

The ranking

ALIGN

(X1, L) >>

ALIGN

(X1, R) produces a stress lapse

immediatelypreceding

the final

stress

in

even

parity words. This pattern

is

not

generatedby

the

constraint,

which

neces-

sarily

conflicts

with

*CLASH

in

disyllables. If ALIGN EDGES

outranks

*CLASH,

both

syllables

are stressed

in

words, yielding

3.4.4.

Primary

Stress

Placement in

Binary

Systems

Before

concludingdiscussion

of

binary

stress, there

are a

couple

of

in-

terestingpoints

about

primary

stress

which are

apparent n

Table VII.

First,

parallel to

dual

stress

systems,

in

virtually all

binary

stress lan-

guages,primary tressfalls a

consistent

distance

romthe

wordedge

across

wordsdifferingin numberof syllables.41A second observationgermane

to

primary

stress is that

there exist

several

patterns n

which the

loca-

tion of

primary

stress in

words

with

heavy

syllables is

inconsistent with

the location of

primary

stress

in

words

containingonly

light

syllables.

It

may

be noted

that

many subtypes of

purely

quantity-sensitive

tress

are

inherently

ncapableof

positioning

primary tress

a

uniform

distance

from

a

word

edge

while

simultaneously

stressing

heavy

syllables

regardless

of

their

position.

Thus, the

quantity-sensitive

analog

to the

Araucanian

patternattested in Creek (Haas 1977; Tyhurst1987), but with the final

stress

as

primary,

positions

its leftmost

stress

on the

initial

syllable if it

is

heavy,

otherwiseon

the

peninitial

syllable.

Thus,

promoting

the

leftmost

stress

to

primary stress

would

not ensure

consistency in the

location of

primary

stress across

different words,

since

words

with an initial

heavy

syllable

would have

primary

tress on

the initial

syllable

while

those with

an

initial

light

would place

primarystress

on the

second

syllable:

io...

41

Malakmalak

Birk

1976)

appears to

be

an

atypical

quantity-insensitive

anguage

in

which

primary

stress

does

not

fall a

consistent

distance

from a

word

edge

across

words

differing n

length.

Stress is

reported

o fall on

even

numbered

yllables

counting

from the

right,

with the

leftmost

stress

being

the

main

one, e.g.,

[102020],

[0102020].

Given

the

preference

for

uniformity

n

stress

placement,one

would

expect the

rightmost

stress,

the

one

falling

closest

to

the

edge at

which

the

binary

pattern

originates

(i.e.,

the one

on the

penult)

to be

the

primary

stress.

Malakmalak

appears o be

the

only

quantity-insensitive

stress

system

which

violates

the

preference

for

positioning

primary

stress

in

the

same

positionacross

the

entire

vocabulary

of

words with

phonologically

predictable

tress.

It is only

in which

falls

The

description

of

Joway-Oto

n Whitman

(1947)

also

suggests

a tern

ary stress system following the primarystress, though the author does

not

provide examples

illustrating

he

pattern.

There are

a

few

quantity-

sensitive stress

systems

which also

display ternarity

under

certain

weight

and/or

morphological

conditions,

e.g.,

Pacific

Yupik

(Leer

1985;

Rice

1992),

Sentani

Elenbaas

1999;

Elenbaas

and

Kager

1999),42

Finnish

(Sadeniemi

1949;

Hansonand

Kiparsky

1996),

the

variety

of

Estoniande-

scribed

by

Hint

(1973),43

and

Winnebago

(see

Hayes

1995 and references

cited therein or

discussion).

1. A Factorial

Typology f Ternary

Stress

We now turn o the

ternary ystems generatedby

the

factorial

ypology.

Be-

cause of the

rarity

of

ternary

tress,

the

systems generated

by

the

proposed

constraints

will

be

only briefly

summarized

here.

42

Sentani

is

sensitive

to a

three-way

weight

distinction

with

closed

syllables

and

syl-

lables

containingdiphthongs

being

heaviest,

schwa in

open

syllables

being

lightest,

and

non-schwa vowels in open syllables being intermediate n weight

(see Elenbaas

1999

for discussion

and

analysis).

The

Sentani

stress

patternfound

in

words not

containing

heavy

syllables

(i.e.

words

lacking

diphthongs

and

closed

syllables)

is

not

generated

by

the

quantity-insensitiveonstraintsdiscussed

in

this

paper;

rather

t

requiresan

additional

context-sensitive

weight constraint

banning

stress on

light

(i.e.

insufficiently

sonorous)

initial

syllables

due to

tonal

crowding avoidance

(see Gordon

2001,

in

preparation

or

weightconstraints

operativeat

theperiphery).

43

It should also be

noted thatthe

Estonianstress

pattern

described

by

Hint

is the subject

of

controversy;

Eek

(1982) reports

a

different

pattern

not

involvingternarity.

A FACTORIALTYPOLOGY

OF

QUANTITY-INSENSITIVE

TRESS

539

A total of 33 ternary ystemsweregenerated,all

of which are

generated

in

pairs differing

in

the

location

of

primary

stress.44

Given the

extreme

rarity of ternarystress

in

general,

it

is

not

surprising

hat

only

a

small

minority

of the

generated

patternsactually

exists.

The

only

clear

quantity-

insensitive ternarypattern,

the

Cayuvava system,

was

generated.

The

Ioway-Otopattern

nferred rom

descriptions

was

also

generated,

as

were

three quantity-sensitive

tress

patterns

observed

in words

consisting

of

only light syllables:

Estonian,

Pacific

Yupik,

and

Winnebago.

This leaves

a total of 28

generated

but

unattested

patterns (31

if

quantity-sensitive

patterns

are

excluded).

Fourpure ternarysystems were generated: ernaryfrom left starting

with the third

syllable, ternary

from left

starting

with

the

peninitial syl-

lable, ternary romright

starting

with the

antepenult,

nd

ternary

rom

right

starting

with the

penult.45

A

total of nine

ternaryplus

clash

systems

were

also generated.These

systems

are the

ternaryanalogs

of the

binary plus

clash

patterns: ernary

stress iterates

n one

direction

and there is a fixed

stress at or near the

opposite edge

of the word. In certainword

shapes,

the

combinationof

ternary

stress

and the

fixed stress

trigger

a

stress

clash.

While I am not aware of any ternaryplus clash systems in actual lan-

guages,

this mismatchbetween

generated

and attested

patterns

s

plausibly

an

accidentalgap attributed o the confluence of two independentlyrare

phenomena: tresssystems with clashes andternary tressin general.

The

final type of

ternary

stress

system generatedby

the factorial

ty-

pology entails

ternarity

mixed

with

binary

stress intervals

n

certainword

shapes.

All of

these

systems

have the

property

of

displaying

more thanone

ternary nterval

n

at least one wordtype of sufficientlengthto diagnose

iterativeternarity.These systems thus differ from the binary plus lapse

systems

which have

a

maximumof

one ternary nterval

n

any one word.

The mixed

ternarysystems are similar to the ternaryplus clash systems

in

displaying ternarity

n conjunctionwith a fixed stress at the opposite

44

The

of

generatedpatterns ncreases to

Of the nine

additionalpatterns,

peripheral yllable (left-to-right ernarity tartingwith

it

is unable to ensure that an edge

FACTORIAL

TYPOLOGY:

A

SUMMARY

In summary, he factorialtypology generatedby the proposedconstraint

set offers

sufficient

empirical

coverage

of the

quantity-insensitive

ingle

stress,

dual

stress,

binary

and

ternary

tress

systems

found in

an

extensive

survey.While the

thoroughnessof the

empirical

coverage

of

the

proposed

theorycomes at the

price

of

a certain

degree

of

overgeneration, he

amount

of

overgeneration s

relatively

small,

at

least

relative to

the

logically pos-

sible set

of

stress

systems.

Furthermore,

he

overgeneration

ommitted

by

the

present

analysis,

with

some

possible

exceptions

(e.g.,

mixed

clash

and

lapse systems; see discussionin section 3.4.3), is plausibly attributedo

accidental

gaps

resultingfrom

the overall

rarityof

certain

types of

stress

systems.

This

is

particularly pparent

n

the

case of

ternary

ystems

which

are a

vanishingly

rare

breed

cross-linguistically.

Thus,

virtually

any

ternary

stress

system

generated

by

the

theory

is certain

not

to

occur

just

given

the

paucity

of

ternary

stress in

general. Similar

cases of

overgeneration

which

could

plausiblybe

attributed

o

accidental

gapsare

observed n

dual

stress and

binary stress

systems,

where

most of

the

unattestedbut

gener-

atedpatterns nvolvedelementswhichareattested n isolationor in certain

combinations

but

happen

not to exist in

all

of the

combinations

generated

by

the

factorial

typology.

Although

the

present

work

can

neitherbe

re-

gardedas a

complete

metrical

stress

theory,as

such

a

theory

would

require

constraints

designed to

also

handle

quantity-sensitive

tress

(see

Gordon

to

appear,

n

preparation

or

analysis

of

quantity-sensitive

tress), it

never-

theless

suggests that

Optimality

Theory

offers a

promising

framework

or

expression

of

grid-based

metrical

heories.
