I also wish to acknowledge the assistance of Ellen Kaisse, two anonymous reviewers and especially the anonymous associate editor, whose detailed, thoughtful and supportive comments did much to improve this article. 5 Since this research was first presented, several works have come to my attention that apply and extend the sympathy notion in novel and insightful ways : Bakovic!

“…By characterizing Cupeño accent as root-controlled, one can see parallels to well-known vowel harmony systems (McCarthy & Prince 1995, Selkirk 1995a) and other segmental processes like dissimilation (Holten 1995, Selkirk 1995b, Alderete 1997b, Blake 1998). The domain-sensitive constraints employed in the analysis of Cupeño are in no way specific to this language and have been applied to a wide range of phenomena.…”

All Rights Reserved iii NEAR KLAMATHWe stand around the burning oil drum and we warm ourselves, our hands and faces, in its pure lapping heat.We raise steaming cups of coffee to our lips and we drink it with both hands. But we are salmon fisherman. And now we stamp our feet on the snow and rocks and move upstream, slowly, full of love, toward the still pools.-Raymond Carver, Fires iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This was the first time that I worked on a project of this size and scope and I am indebted to the members of my committee, John McCarthy, Lisa Selkirk, John Kingston, and Bob Rothstein, for their guidance and support throughout the endeavor. I am also grateful to Alan Prince, who, while not a formal member of the committee, went beyond his role as a consultant and provided many important comments on all aspects of this thesis. I found it tremendously encouraging to sit across from these linguists and find that they had put aside the time to read and respond cogently to the bulky materials stuffed in their boxes. Thank you for allowing me the space to develop my ideas, slowing me down when I was rushing, and sweating the details when I no longer could.I would also like to express my gratitude to all those who have contributed over the years to my professional and intellectual development. There is a long road between putting together a good homework solution and writing a dissertation, and the support I received from my committee and the larger faculty at UMass was essential to my arriving at where I am today. Many others aside from the committee have helped me come to understand myself as a linguist, but those at the forefront of my mind include Emmon Bach, Roger Higgins, Angelika Kratzer, and Ellen Woolford, and also my teachers and advisors at UC Santa Cruz, Junko Itô, Sandra Chung, and Bill Ladusaw.The idea that served as the point of departure for this thesis, namely that the accentual properties of roots play a major role in governing word accent, was first hit upon in the summer of 1995 in the weekly brown bag meetings of John McCarthy's NSF grant. I am grateful to John for providing that environment, and for the creative input and expert advice of the participants of those meetings, including Jill Beckman, Laura Benua, Amalia Gnanadesikan, Suzanne Urbanczyk, and in later years, Toni Borowsky, Patrik Bye, Katy Carlson, Paul De Lacy, Mark Harvey, Anna Lubowicz, Caroline Jones, Jennifer Smith, and Rachel Walker. Other opportunities for presenting my research contributed greatly to the preparation of this thesis, including a series of informal meetings at Rutgers and MIT, and invited talks at Cornell University, SUNY Stoney Brook, University of British Columbia, University of Texas at Austin, and University of Victoria. Thanks to the audiences of these gatherings for their helpful comments and questions.Like most dissertations in linguistics, the argumentation developed in this one revolves around the presentation of evidence, and I would like to thank the language experts and consultants who helped in the colle...
