Abstract: In Umutina the distribution of main word stress is sensitive to the sonority degree of vowels within a two-syllable window at the right side of the word, a property which it shares with a number of other languages. What makes Umutina particularly interesting is the fact that low sonorant onsets in the word final syllable impede the retraction of stress to the prefinal syllable, even when the prefinal nucleus is more sonorant than the final one. A constraint analysis is proposed based on the hypothesis that wha… Show more

“…(ˌmoko∫)(ˈtjaka) ‘palm fruit’ instead of *(ˌmo)(ˌko∫)(‘tjaka), indicating that codas are not moraic. A similar, though more complex, pattern is found in Umutina (Wetzels et al 2014), where, if the last syllable contains a plosive onset it is stressed, and otherwise vowel sonority decides between the last two syllables. Summarising, we have thus far seen moraic onsets contributing to syllable weight if they are geminate (Pattani Malay), voiceless (Pirahã) or obstruent (Arabela) 6 .…”
