Metrical Stress Theory: Principles and Case Studies
Hayes, Bruce P. (University of California, Los Angeles)
In this account of metrical stress theory, the author builds on the notion that stress constitutes linguistic rhythm. Through an extensive typological survey of word stress rules that uncovers widespread asymmetries, he identifies a fundamental distinction between iambic and trochaic rhythm.
