Glossa, 2023 Standard linguistic and psycholinguistic approaches to stress assignment argue that the position of word stress is determined on the basis of abstract information such as syllable weight and number of syllables in the word.

, 2012 As far as phonemic length contrast is concerned, we observe a high degree of durational overlap between phonemically long and short vowels in monosyllabic CVC words (which is enforced by a greater pitch excursion), whereas in polysyllables the ...

Romance Loans in Middle Dutch and Middle English: Retained or Lost? A Matter of Metre1
Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.Abstract Romance words have been borrowed into all medieval West‐Germanic languages. Modern cognates show that the metrical patterns of loans can differ although the Germanic words remain constant: loan words Dutch kolónie, English cólony, German Koloníe compared with Germanic words Dutch wéduwe, English wídow, German Wítwe.

Korean "Tense" Consonants as Geminates
Kansas Working Papers in Linguistics, 1995 In this paper, I argue that Korean "tense" consonants are geminates which occupy two C positions in a CV-tier. This argument is supported by phonetic evidence such as a longer closure duration of the tense consonants and phonological evidence such as the

Does harmonicity explain children’s cue weighting of fricative-vowel syllables? [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2009 When labeling syllable-initial fricatives, children have been found to weight formant transitions more and fricative-noise spectra less than adults, prompting the suggestion that children attend more to the slow vocal-tract movements that create syllabic structure than to the rapid gestures more closely aligned with individual phonetic segments.

Ordinal Numerals as a Criterion for Subclassification: The Case of Semitic
Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.Abstract This article explores how ordinal numerals (like first, second and third) can help classify languages, focusing on the Semitic language family. Ordinals are often formed according to productive derivational processes, but as a separate word class, they may retain archaic morphology that is otherwise lost from the language.

Remnant Case Forms and Patterns of Syncretism in Early West Germanic
Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.Abstract Early stages of the Old West Germanic languages differ from the other two branches, Gothic and Norse, by showing remnants of a fifth case in a‐ and ō‐stem nouns. The forms in question, which have the ending ‐i or ‐u, are conventionally labelled ‘instrumental’ and cover a range of functions, such as instrument, means, comitative and locative ...

James Platt Junior's Contributions to Old English Grammar1
Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.Abstract In 1883, Henry Sweet took issue with James Platt junior, a 21‐year‐old language enthusiast. At the time, Platt was England's brightest young prospect in Old English linguistic studies. Sweet recognised Platt's talent, but he became convinced that he was also a plagiarist and tried to have him expelled from the Philological Society.
