Japanese loanword accentuation: epenthesis and foot form interacting through edge-interior alignment
Japanese words are either accented (HL tonal melody: H | a m L | e ‘rain’ ) or unaccented (H tonal melody: a m H | e ‘candy’). Whereas the locus of accent (i.e. mora that bears H tone before a L tone, represented henceforth by acute accent) is lexically determined in native and Sino-Japanese nouns (e.g. híru ‘leech’; hirú ‘noon’), in loanwords it is predictable enough to suggest a grammatical e...
متن کاملCategory and Position as Correlates in determining Patterns of Default Accentuation in Japanese: Evidence from Nonce words
BACKGROUND: Accentuation in Japanese loanword phonology has been an area of controversy. Previous linguists such as McCawley (1968) have suggested a traditional mora-based generalization: loanword accentuation in Japanese has a basic default pattern on the syllable containing the antepenultimate mora; while others claim that Japanese loanword accentuation follows the Latin stress rule (Kubozono...
متن کاملThe productivity of a root-initial accenting suffix, [-zu]: Judgement studies
In many languages affixes can assign accents on roots to which they attach. Some previous studies have claimed that accents assigned by affixes universally fall on syllables next to the affixes (Kurisu 2001; Revithiadou 2008). Kawahara and Wolf (2010) document a newly-coined suffix which counterexemplifies this generalization: the new Japanese suffix [-zu] assigns an accent on root-initial syll...
متن کاملA syllable-based generalization of Japanese accentuation
One of the major findings of the recent linguistic research on Japanese is that the syllable plays a pivotal role in a variety of phonological and morphological phenomena in the mora-based prosodic system of this language. This paper attempts to reinforce this argument by proposing a significant generalization of Japanese accentuation in terms of ‘syllable weight’, an idea that each syllable ha...
متن کاملThe process of generation and development of second language Japanese accentuation
This study will investigate how non-native speakers of Japanese acquire Japanese accentuation from the viewpoint of the location of the accent nucleus. Hypothetical models for the process of generation and for developmental sequence of interlanguage Japanese accentuation, which is interim accentual system created by learners, will be proposed. The subjects appear to generate their interlanguage...
