Abstract
Kashaya stress is assigned postlexically to one of the first five syllables of a phrase. Which of these syllables it falls on depends on the morphological structure of the first word and the phonological structure of the five syllables. The analysis presented here involves iambs constructed from left to right, plus two rules of left-edge extrametricality. Syllable Extrametricality is assigned early in the lexicon, before suffixation, but persists to the postlexical component; thus invisibility cannot be lost automatically at the end of the lexicon. Foot Extrametricality is active both lexically and postlexically and is cumulative with Syllable Extrametricality. This cumulativity is consistent with the Peripherality Condition under a hierarchical interpretation, where peripherality is determined independently on each level of prosodic structure. The rule of Foot Flipping, which converts anomalous trochaic feet to canonical iambs, is also discussed, as well as its interaction with Foot Extramatricality.
