| Abstract: | Uniform Exponence: Exemplification and Extension Michael Kenstowicz MIT This paper exemplifies the constraint of Uniform Exponence. We see how this constraint elucidates an otherwise mysterious double retraction of stress in certain plural formations in Russian and the scope of an allomorphy process in Dominican Spanish. In the body of the paper we see how a simple typology of stress in five Australian languages is available when Uniform Exponence for the stress of roots and affixes is variably ranked with Alignment and Lapse constraints on good metrical form. The final section of the paper suggests an extension of the notion uniformity to the effect of a lexical item on its context. |
