Word Stress in Wakhi Tajik:Its Function and Distribution
This article,based on Li(2023a and others),elaborates on the property,function and distribution of the word stress in Wakhi Tajik,a Pamir language,in the rule-based phonology,further confirming that the domain of the word stress placement is defined morphologically in general and inflectionally in particular in verbs,and that the word stress is morphological stress in function.On the distribution of the word stress,conclusions are drawn as(1)the word stress is assigned by the word stress assignment rule(WSA)in the lexicon;(2)WSA applies prior to syllabification;(3)the vowel is the bearing unit of the word stress;and(4)the surface irregularities in word stress distribution are the effects of vocalic epenthesis caused by syllabification.
