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...

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...

Revisiting Phonological Generalizations in Australian Languages*

1.1 Aims and background Australian languages are famous for their near-uniform phonemic inventories. Authors such as Busby (1980); Dixon (1980); Hamilton (1996); Dixon (2002); Butcher (2006), amongst others, have emphasized the similarity of phoneme inventories across the continent, using it as evidence of intensive lexical diffusion and linguistic convergence (Dixon 1997, Dixon 2002:547). Cros...

A Century of Internal Auditing -Using Computational Literature Review

A review of the internal audit literature over the past century reveals a significant topic variety and thematic diversity, so that a systematic review of these studies is necessary in order to gain a deeper understanding of internal audit research. This research aims to fill the gap in previous review research and in response to the recommendation of Behrend & Eulerich (2019) and aims to ident...
