The Morphological Status of Accent 2 in North Germanic Simplex Forms
The issue of markedness of tonal accents in North Germanic (most Swedish and Norwegian dialects) has never been settled. For a long time, it looked like there was reasonable agreement that the distinction was privative and that it was accent 2 that was marked, accent 1 representing default intonation (Sweet, 1877:155, Elert, 1964:197, Haugen, 1967, Kristoffersen, 1993, Riad, 1998). Recently – a...
متن کاملOn the Processing of Novel Root+suffix Combinations
New words are constantly entering language. When a new word is formed by the combination of existing morphemes, it is expected to follow languagespecific structural patterns called selectional restrictions. If a new word follows these restrictions, then it can be considered to be morphologically legal, and if it violates these restrictions, then it can be said to be morphologically illegal. For...

I do not know how tall you are; I doubt that you starved as a child. My empirical evidence tells strongly against (1), by indicating that childhood malnutrition tends to reduce adult height. In contrast, (2) is logically trivial. How things actually are includes your actual height, whether or not it also includes your childhood starvation; how things would have been if you had starved as a chil...
متن کاملPlanets in binary systems : is the present configuration indicative of the formation process ?
Aims. The present dynamical configuration of planets in binary star systems may not reflect their formation process since the binary orbit may have changed in the past after the planet formation process was completed. An observed binary system may have been part of a former hierarchical triple that became unstable after the planets completed their growth around the primary star. Alternatively, ...

The aim of the present investigation is to find out more about the meaning of two Dutch melodic shapes: the default pitch accent or ‘pointed hat’ and the accent-lending fall. Can the meaning difference between these pitch configurations be better described as a difference in information status or as a difference in attitude? Subjects were presented with the two contours on short sentences in sp...
