metrical phonology
PHONOLOGY: a cover term which refers to several non-linear theories
of stress. The non-linear theory of the representation of stress as introduced by Liberman (1975) and
Liberman & Prince (1977) is a direct reaction to the linear analysis of stress proposed within the Sound Pattern-framework developed by Chomsky & Halle (1968),
in which stress is considered a property of individual segments (i.e. vowels). In metrical phonology
stress is seen as a relational property obtaining between constituents, expressed in metrical trees as a
binary relation between sister nodes which are labeled weak or strong. The theory of metrical phonology is further
developed by e.g. Hayes (1980), Prince (1983),
Kager (1989) and others.
