AT THE CROSSROADS: A COMPARATIVE SKETCH OF STRESS PATTERNS IN ENGLISH AND KHASIBI ARABIC
Keywords:
stress patterns, stress levels, prominence, syllable, English, Khasibi ArabicAbstract
Stress is a debatable concept in phonetic literature. Different accounts have been adopted to define and identify its nature and function. Stress has attracted phoneticians’ attention simply because it is required to tackle certain aspects of connected speech such as elision, assimilation and the like. The present study is a fully comparative exploration of how stress is patterned in both English and Khasibi Arabic. It presents a systemic investigation of stress placement mapping in these two dialects with the intention that comparative sides are highly activated.
