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 the phonetic
manifestation of stress and accent, their cross-linguistic
variation and the subtle and intricate laws they obey in individual
languages. Understanding the nature of stress and accent systems
informs all aspects of linguistic theory, methods, typology and
especially the grammatical analysis of language data. These themes
form the organizational backbone of this book. Bringing together a
team of world-renowned phonologists, the volume covers a range of
typological and theoretical issues in the study of stress and
accent. It will appeal to researchers who value synergistic
approaches to the study of stress and accent, careful attention to
cross-linguistic variation, and detailed analyzes of both
well-studied and understudied languages. The book is a lively
testimony of a field of inquiry that shows progress, while also
identifying questions for ongoing research.
