Most analyses, starting with Jakobson (1963), Zaliznyak (1967) and Halle (1973), assume that there is an underlyingly specified feature [+\/-stress], cf. Zaliznyak (1985), Melvold (1990) and Alderete (1999). These theories distinguish between three types of morphemes in Russian: stressed, unstressed and &#8220;right-stressed&#8221;. The latter type is underlyingly accented, but, in Halle (1973)&#8217;s terms, it invokes a specific rule that shifts stress from the morpheme itself to the next syllable to the right (cf. Zaliznyak (1985)&#8217;s rightward marking).<br clear='none'\/>\nIn this talk I am going to argue that instead of introducing the right-shifting stress rule we could assume that the stress feature, apart from having [+str] and [-str] values, can also be unspecified. This will give us the desired three-way distinction: morphemes can be stressed, unstressed and unspecified for stress. I am going to show that in a combination with StressLeft constraint (cf. Melvold (1990)&#8217;s BAP principle) and some independently needed auxiliary assumptions about morpheme dominance, this would derive the desired result.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Mitya Privoznov (MIT) Title: Russian stress in inflectional paradigms Date\/Time: Monday, May 15, 5:00\u00966:30pm Location: 32-D461 Abstract: All analyses of Russian stress agree that it is contrastive.
