Examplesofantepenultimateantepenultimate Although stress falls predominantly on the penultimate syllable in nouns,antepenultimateand final syllable stress occur as well. From theCambridge English Corpus This follows from constraint interactions that occlude underlying stress from surfacing on any syllable to the left of theantepenultimatesyllable. From theCambridge English Corpus Phonological lengthening in this case is never optimal and so any duration increase in an openantepenultimatesyllable is a phonetic correlate of stress. From theCambridge English Corpus Since the foot containing a stressedantepenultimatevowel is bimoraic, there is no pressure to lengthen a stressedantepenultimatevowel. From theCambridge English Corpus In fact, while there is a remarkable duration difference between penultimate andantepenultimatesyllable, the duration difference between antepenultimate and preantepenultimate syllable is much smaller. From theCambridge English Corpus They are identical to the stems, except for the - very frequent - group of verbs withantepenultimatestress, which appear with penultimate accent in the gerund. From theCambridge English Corpus When the lexical stress isantepenultimate, the emergent foot is also trochaic. From theCambridge English Corpus Two segments are truncated from the right edge of the imperfective, however, when theantepenultimateis a coronal followed by a high vowel (20c). From theCambridge English Corpus Exceptions to penultimate stress arise due to lexically markedantepenultimateor final stress. From theCambridge English Corpus To limit stress placement, a potential underlying stress to the left of theantepenultimatesyllable cannot surface. From theCambridge English Corpus Theantepenultimatesyllable is the furthest left in a noun on which main stress can appear. From theCambridge English Corpus The problem, then, is how to get infixed -i- to ' spread ' to theantepenultimatesyllable. From theCambridge English Corpus A stressedantepenultimatevowel is part of a disyllabic (hence bimoraic) foot, so there is no phonological motivation for lengthening. From theCambridge English Corpus In the second experiment, we investigated whether the difference in syllable structure in words withantepenultimatestress plays a role in the processing of stress. From theCambridge English Corpus We take this result as evidence for the assumption that a final syllable is strong in words withantepenultimatestress irrespective of its structure.
