摘要

We present an analysis of stress and tone in Kuikuro (Cariban) at the word and phrase levels. Metrically, iambs are assigned left-to-right, with final trochaic reversal. Tone surfaces on the rightmost syllable in a domain that includes the primary stress of the phrase and any following unstressed syllables, i.e., a tone that is a correlate of stress may appear displaced from its stressed syllable. This work adds to the typology of tone/prominence, expanding the definition of “incoherent” stress (Gordon 2016) to include tone that is imperfectly aligned to metrical prominence, and situating Kuikuro and other languages in this typology.
