Abstract: Brook (1) a.

In case of a tie, stress falls on the rightmost non-final heavy syllable: (2) a. kaa.n'i.ga.rii 'craftsmanship' b. roo.zaa.naa 'daily' c. ru.pi.aa 'rupee' d. ki.d h ar 'which way'

“…Duration is a strong cue to vowel quantity in Levantine dialects. Allatif & Abry (2004) and Alhussein Almbark (2008) find long/short ratios around 1.7 for Syrian; data from Broselow et al (1997) show ratios ranging from 1.51 to 2.01, with shorter ratios in closed syllables than open, in Lebanese, Syrian, and Jordanian. Short vowels are also more centralized than long vowels.…”

“…* * I propose that medial CVVC syllables in VC dialects and the intermediate Cv dialects be accounted for an analysis that recognises an intermediate status for the mora -not an unlicensed mora, but rather a mora that dominates two constituents. Formulated as Adjunction-to-Mora, this was first proposed to account for word-internal CVVC syllables in Arabic dialects by Broselow (1992) and Broselow et al (1995Broselow et al ( , 1997, drawing on the degenerate syllable analysis put forward earlier for Egyptian, Lebanese and Iraqi by Aoun (1979) and Selkirk (1981). It also draws on analyses of half-long vowels in certain Bantu languages, such as Maddieson's (1993) and Maddieson & Ladefoged's (1993 : 276-277) 'heteromoraic' and heterosyllabic analysis of the nasal portion of prenasalised stops in Sukuma, and Hubbard's (1995) multiple linking of a weak mora to V and C in Runyambo; and, more recently, on Frazier's (2005) analysis of vowel length in mono-and dimorphemic monosyllabic words in American English.…”

“…In this extension to Kiparsky (2003), syllables incorporating long segments are distinguished from syllables ending in final consonant clusters in relevant dialects, and accounted for by means of a mora-sharing analysis, a solution that draws on proposals for the analysis of syllables containing, or ending in the first portion of, long segments in a number of languages, including Arabic (Broselow 1992, Broselow et al 1995, 1997, Malayalam (Broselow et al 1997), Bantu languages (Maddieson 1993, Maddieson & Ladefoged 1993, Hubbard 1995 and American English (Frazier 2005). As a result of this modification, the three-way typology put forward by Kiparsky for Arabic is extended to a four-way typology.…”
