“…Constraint rankings like the one in the hypothetical tableau in (35) The extraprosodic position of initial onsetless syllables is indicated by the fact that they cannot be stressed, unlike other initial syllables (Buller et al, 1993, Downing, 1998, Everett, 1990 The only initial syllables which are not stressed are those which are onsetless, as in (38).…”

For any phonotactic restriction on syllable onsets and codas, it can be shown that parallel restrictions are attested at edges of each higher prosodic domain. Onsets can be required at the beginnings of syllables, words, or utterances; codas can be banned at the ends of any of these constituents; and so on. This paper argues that these restrictions follow from constraint schemata: any markedness constraint on syllable onsets or codas (M Ons or M Coda ) is part of a family of constraints (M Ons (Onset/PCat) or M Coda (Coda/PCat)) imposing parallel restrictions on initial onsets or final codas of each prosodic domain. These prosodic domain-edge markedness constraints can induce epenthesis, deletion, or other segmental changes at domain edges; they can also shape words' prosodic structures.

“…(63) Banawá: this Arauan language spoken in Brazil has left-to-right moraic trochees with main stress on the initial syllable. in words with more than two syllables with initial onsetless syllables, main stress falls on the second syllable (64) (Buller, Buller andeverett 1993, everett 1996). (64) Iowa-Oto: Stress is also attracted to onsetful syllables in iowa-oto (downing 1998 and references therein).…”

“…Some of the best documented languages in the group mentioned above are Western Aranda , Alyawarra (Yallop 1977) and Banawá (Buller, Buller & Everett 1993). Western Aranda and Alyawarra are closely related languages that have the same stress rule for words of more than two syllables.…”
