PERSISTENCE OF THE LATIN ACCENT IN THE NOMINAL ...

that is, a contrast of high + low (Fox 2000, 170-171). Furthermore, the penultimate stress pattern of Latin may well have morphological grounding. In the case of a noun consisting only of stem + declensional suffixes it can be assumed that accent on the stem might be a more desirable outcome than accent on the inflection. The stem contains the ‘new information’ and would, therefore, be treated in the same manner as inflectional focus in the phrase. While this may well result in a high + low intonation pattern the melody is a byproduct of the word accent rather than a determinant. Hayes’s typology of accent (1995) is based on the metrical foot. He proposes three basic bounded foot types (1995, 71): syllabic trochee, moraic trochee, and iamb. The syllabic trochee (Hayes 1995, 63) is one which depends only on syllable count. The moraic trochee (Hayes 1995, 69) takes into account the weight of the syllable; accordingly, a moraic foot may consist of two- syllables of one mora each or a single bimoraic syllable. The addition of the moraic trochee is crucial for analysis of the Latin stress system. Kager (1995, 370-373) uses the operative parameters that emerge from metric bracketing to describe foot typology and construction: (a) Foot typology a. Extension: Bounded/unbounded b. Dominance: Left headed/right headed c. Quantity-sensitivity: Quantity sensitive/quantity insensitive/quantity-determined (obligatorily branching) (b) Foot construction a. Directionality i. Right to left/left to right ii. Bidirectionality: Noniterative foot assignment beginning at one edge and iterative foot assignment beginning at the opposite edge b. Iterativity: Iterative/noniterative (c) Word tree parameters a. Dominance: Left-dominant and right-dominant b. Labeling: Strong (branching)/weak (nonbranching) (d) Word tree dominance a. Left dominant/right dominant 38
With regard to extension, bounded systems are well known. These are the ones corresponding to the three basic foot types: moraic trochee, syllabic trochee, and iamb. Unbounded systems, as inventoried by Hayes (1995, 296-297), are those that favor heavy syllables at word edges. Arguably, the Indo-European accent could be considered representative of the type with a primary accent on the leftmost heavy syllable (otherwise leftmost syllable) (Halle, 1997). Absent in the Hayes inventory is any evidence for ternary feet, although he recognizes that there is limited evidence for ternary feet in the case of Cayuvava, a linguistic isolate spoken in northeaster Bolivia (1995, 309-316). In terms of syllabic structure Cayuvava has only light syllables and stress regularly falls on the antepenultimate syllable. In longer words there is also an accent on the sixth and ninth syllables from the end of the word. However, Hayes (1995, 96-97) notes that even languages with established binary feet often manifest an initial dactyl effect. He cites as example a secondary stress pattern discussed also in Harris (1983) and Roca (1986) in which an initial dactyl emerges in words of three or more syllables with an odd number of syllables, such as gèneratívo (primary accent indicated by acute and secondary by grave). In certain registers these words have an initial dactylic foot which alternates with the usual alternating syllable pattern of secondary stress which would predict genèratívo. There are other cases of the initial dactyl effect in languages as diverse as English, Indonesian, Swedish, and Polish (Hayes 1995, 97). It should be noted that the inventory of the world’s languages by accentual system is an ongoing effort. An example is Bailey’s (2007) Stress System Database which records information on location of stress, directionality of stress, boundedness, and language specific conventions for syllable weight. Moraic Theory The question of quantity sensitivity as an indispensable element in defining foot typology appears in both Hayes (1995) and Kager (1995). The parameter of quantity-sensitivity produces 39
