초록

This paper examines the stress preservation and stress shift observed in English derivatives and investigates the effects of phonological and non-phonological factors. Through a thorough investigation of -Xion derivatives, a processing factor of word frequency and a phonological factor of syllable configuration are proved to play some probabilistic role interactively. With respect to word frequency, lower-frequency words are processed into separate units, which tends to encourage stress preservation. On the other hand, higher-frequency words are perceived as one tight unit like monomorphemic words, which discourages stress preservation. Whether a stem stress is preserved is also determined by the quality of the pretonic syllable: pretonic obstruent-final syllables regularly preserve stress of their stems (strong preservation), vowel-final pretonic stem syllables contribute to weak preservation, and sonorant-finals in-between. Stress shift escapes stress-clash, resulting in a foot form improvement from a marked foot form into a less marked one depending on the foot form harmony scale.

Abstract

This paper examines the stress preservation and stress shift observed in English derivatives and investigates the effects of phonological and non-phonological factors. Through a thorough investigation of -Xion derivatives, a processing factor of word frequency and a phonological factor of syllable configuration are proved to play some probabilistic role interactively. With respect to word frequency, lower-frequency words are processed into separate units, which tends to encourage stress preservation. On the other hand, higher-frequency words are perceived as one tight unit like monomorphemic words, which discourages stress preservation. Whether a stem stress is preserved is also determined by the quality of the pretonic syllable: pretonic obstruent-final syllables regularly preserve stress of their stems (strong preservation), vowel-final pretonic stem syllables contribute to weak preservation, and sonorant-finals in-between. Stress shift escapes stress-clash, resulting in a foot form improvement from a marked foot form into a less marked one depending on the foot form harmony scale.
