Weight sensitivity and syllable codas in Srinagar Koshur

Journal of Linguistics, 2012
This paper describes and analyses the pattern of word stress found in the standard dialect of Koshur (Kashmiri) spoken in Srinagar. The significance of Koshur for studies of stress lies in that taken together, its pattern of stress assignment and a pervasive pattern of syncope conspire to produce a four-way syllable weight distinction that has ...

Most cross-linguistic variation in weight criteria is attributed to the parameterized application of Weight-by-Position adjunction to codas on a language-specific basis [Linguistic Inquiry 20 (1989) 253].

Buriat Syllable Weight and Head Prominence

1994
In this paper I argue for a violable optimality-theoretic constraint penalizing branching constituency in moras.
