“…As stated by Grønnum and Basbøll (2001), morae do not play any role in Danish other than to explain the distribution and timing of stød. For example, poetry in Danish counts syllables, not morae, and stress in Danish is said to be free, or quantity insensitive (Grønnum 1998;Kuznetsova 2018). 2 This lack of phonological evidence has led researchers to look for other evidence for morae in Danish.…”

“…2 Ito and Mester (2015) provide an account for Danish stress in which Danish is quantity sensitive and trochaic. However, as Kuznetsova (2018) points out, there are many exceptions to the generalizations they make in their analysis, leading me to set aside this work for now. to maintain theoretically neutral as the whether or not two adjacent vowels with the same quality comprise a single phonological unit in Thai.…”

Stød Timing and Domain in Danish

This study investigates the timing of stød, a type of phonological nonmodal phonation related to creaky voice in Danish, relative to the syllable. Stød-bearing syllables are characterized by high fundamental frequency (F0) and modal phonation at the beginning of the syllable followed by nonmodal, often creaky phonation and low F0 towards the end of the syllable (the stød phase proper). However, the timing of these two phases relative to the syllable and to each other has been debated. To investigate this, F0 throughout the word and the timing of the stød phase proper relative to the syllable were analyzed in five types of monosyllabic words. The results show that across word types the first stød phase (high F0) coordinates with the syllable rhyme onset, whilst the second phase is timed to the center of the sonorant rhyme, in contrast to previous hypotheses of stød timing. This relationship is formalized using the framework of Articulatory Phonology. In doing so, two additions to the theory are proposed to account for the biphasic nature of stød and the timing of the stød phase proper relative to the syllable.

The paper analyses existing moraic conceptions of Estonian quantity. Main features of functional, generative and phonetically-instructed moraic accounts of Estonian are considered. In most generative accounts, morae simultaneously represent several layers of functionally and structurally diverse information. This brings along a considerable increase in formal analytical machinery and internal controversies. In a structural functional framework, morae can be used to formalise the prosodic contrast of long and short stressed syllables in Estonian. Its relevance is seen in actual functioning of the prosodic system. This contrast is built upon the segmental contrast of short and long phonemes and, in turn, serves as a basis for the contrast of two distinctive foot accents, light and heavy. As an example, a formal morphonological algorithm of calculating Estonian foot accents, which also shows the place of the syllable weight contrast, is proposed.Аннотация. Наталья Кузнецова: Эстонская словесная просодия в Прокрустовом ложе мор. Статья посвящена анализу существующих морных подходов к анализу количества в эстонском языке. Обсуждается основные особенности морных концепций эстонского количества в рамках функциональной и генеративной лингвистики, а также понимание моры фонетистами. Генеративные концепции совмещают на одном иерархическом уровне репрезентации (морном) нескольких разных с функциональной и структурной точки зрения пластов информации, что приводит к значительному усложнению формального описания и внутренним противоречиям. В рамках структурного функционального понимания эстонского количества моры могут служить вспомогательным средством для формализации просодической оппозиции краткого (легкого) и долгого (тяжелого) ударного слога. Релевантность этой оппозиции проявляется в функционировании просодической системы языка. Этот контраст надстраивается над сегментной оппозицией кратких и долгих фонем и, в свою очередь, формирует базис для оппозиции лексикализованных стопических акцентов, легкого и тяжелого. В качестве примера в статье приводится формальный морфонологический алгоритм присваивания стопических акцентов в словоформе и показано место в нем слогового веса.Ключевые слова: эстонский, структурная функциональная фонология, автосегментная фонология, словесная просодия, мора, количествоKokkuvõte. Natalia Kuznetsova: Eesti sõnaprosoodia moorade Prokrustese sängis. Artiklis analüüsitakse eesti keele vältekontseptsioone, mis rakendavad mooralist analüüsi. Hinnatakse peamisi funktsionaalseid, generatiivseid ja foneetilisi moorasid arvestavaid seletusi eesti keele kohta. Enamasti esindavad generatiivsetes seletustes moorad samaaegselt mitut funktsionaalselt ja struktuuriliselt hajusa informatsiooni tasandit. See toob kaasa märkimisväärse formaalsete analüüsitehnikate keerustumise ja sisemised vastuolud. Strukturaal-funktsionaalses raamistikus saab moorasid kasutada eesti keeles pika ja lühikese rõhulise silbi prosoodilise kontrasti esitamiseks. Selle sobivust jälgitakse prosoodilise süsteemi tegeliku toimimise põhjal. Kontrast põhineb pika ja lühikese foneemi segmentaalsel kontrastil ja on omakorda aluseks kahele erinevale kõnetakti aktsendile, kergele ja raskele. Artiklis on näitena välja pakutud morfofonoloogiline algoritm eesti keele taktiaktsentide arvutamiseks, mis näitab ka silbikaalu kontrasti kohta.Märksõnad: eesti keel, strukturaal-funktsionaalne fonoloogia, autosegmentaalne fonoloogia, sõnaprosoodia, moora, välted

Featural foot in Bambara

The Bambara foot is represented as a rhythmic unit which can be disyllabic or monosyllabic. Foot-parsing is both segmentally and morphologically conditioned. A foot can coincide with a morpheme or be smaller than a morpheme, but it cannot include more than one morpheme. The main factors for foot-parsing are: types of initial consonants, types of internal consonants and vocalic combinations; directionality (left to right) is a secondary factor. Segmentation into feet is relevant for the realization of tone. Disyllabic feet are subdivided into two types, heavy and light; heavy feet have a long vowel in the initial syllable, while light feet have a short vowel in this position which is susceptible to elision (depending on phonotactics). It seems unnecessary to postulate stress in Bambara. The views of previous researchers on the Bambara foot are critically analyzed.
