![]() ![]() He conducts research at the intersection of theoretical linguistics, theoretical computer science, and computational learning theory. Jeffrey Heinz is Professor in the Department of Linguistics and the Institute of Advanced Computational Science at Stony Brook University. Together with Harry van der Hulst, he has worked on several publications based on the StressTyp database, with which he has been involved since its inception. ![]() His research focusses on phonetics, phonology and typology of stress in the languages of the world in general, and the languages of Aboriginal Australia and Indonesia in particular. Rob Goedemans is Information Manager in the Humanities Faculty of Universiteit Leiden. The book is a lively testimony of a field of inquiry that shows progress, while also identifying questions for ongoing research. It will appeal to researchers who value synergistic approaches to the study of stress and accent, careful attention to cross-linguistic variation, and detailed analyzes of both well-studied and understudied languages. Bringing together a team of world-renowned phonologists, the volume covers a range of typological and theoretical issues in the study of stress and accent. These themes form the organizational backbone of this book. Understanding the nature of stress and accent systems informs all aspects of linguistic theory, methods, typology and especially the grammatical analysis of language data. These issues come to the forefront in the phonetic manifestation of stress and accent, their cross-linguistic variation and the subtle and intricate laws they obey in individual languages. ![]() Stress and accent are central, organizing features of grammar, but their precise nature continues to be a source of mystery and wonder. ![]()
