Stress and accent are central, organizing features of grammar, but
their precise nature continues to be a source of mystery and
wonder. These issues come to the forefront in acquisition, where
the tension between the abstract mental representations and the
concrete physical manifestations of stress and accent is deeply
reflected. Understanding the nature of the representations of
stress and accent patterns, and understanding how stress and accent
patterns are learned, informs all aspects of linguistic theory and
language acquisition. These two themes - representation and
acquisition - form the organizational backbone of this book. Each
is addressed along different dimensions of stress and accent,
including the position of an accent or stress within various
prosodic domains and the acoustic dimensions along which the
pronunciation of stress and accent may vary. The research presented
in the book is multidisciplinary, encompassing theoretical
linguistics, speech science, and computational and experimental
research.
