More about the book
The book explores the complexities of stress assignment in English, focusing on exceptions that challenge established principles. It examines how some exceptions relate to word or morpheme boundaries, while others appear idiosyncratic. A novel statistical analysis identifies common features, particularly in orthography, among these exceptions. The work raises questions about whether these features can lead to new rules for understanding stress assignment or if they must be regarded as lexically exceptional cases.
