Isi artikel

Tohono O'odham (formerly Papago) assigns primary stress to the first syllable in content words; but there is an asymmetry in the distribution of secondary stress, where the facts are more complicated. Polymorphemic words stress all odd syllables, whereas monomorphemic words stress only nonfinal odd syllables. The implications of this distribution for metrical stress theory are discussed. It is especially intriguing that the crucial support for the asymmetry comes exclusively from loanwords.
