A cyclic factorial typology of Pama-Nyungan stress

Penultimate stress in monomorphemic forms is invariant (1a-c). In suffixed forms (1d-f), by contrast, stress falls on the antepenultimate syllable. These deviations from penultimate stress serve a function: by retaining stress on the antepenult, stress of the suffixed stems matches stress of the stems in isolation. In this paper I show that an analysis of accentual faithfulness using base-deriv...

Non-Subject Arguments in Indonesian

The grammatical function subject can be identified reliably in Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian), but the same is not true of other clause-level nominal constituents in the language. The tests proposed in previous studies for identifying an object grammatical function turn out to be unreliable and inconsistent when the full range of data is considered. This thesis attempts to clarify the problem by...

Exploring recursivity, stringency, and gradience in the Pama-Nyungan stress continuum

This chapter reviews contemporary approaches to the morphological influences on stress in certain Pama-Nyungan languages, including Diyari, Dyirbal, and Warlpiri. To account for the variation found in these languages, nine different theories are developed that differ in the constraints responsible for edge effects in stress and the alignment of morphological and prosodic structure. The factoria...
