Distinct Pattern Properties (fsa)

This table diplays a list of representative languages ordered based upon the type of pattern, summaries of their primary and secondary stress patterns in the expanded SPCs (see 3) and phonotactic information, specifies the type of pattern, (Quantity (in)sensitive, (un)bounded), and presents information about the FSA.

name

The `name' field contains the name of the representative language.

ord

The `ord' field indicates the order in which these languages are presented in Heinz 2007 (dissertation).

main

The `main' field contains the SPC(s) for the primary stress pattern(s) and in parentheses, the word size in which the pattern is valid. For example, Bhojpuri's entry under `main' is ``3R (4+), 2R (3-)'', meaning that in words of four or more syllables, primary stress is placed on the antepenultimate syllable, and in words of three or fewer syllables, primary stress is placed on the penultimate syllable. (See 3)

secondary

The `secondary' field contains the SPC(s) for the secondary stress pattern(s) and in parentheses, the word size in which the pattern is valid. For example, Cayuvava's entry under `secondary' is ``None (2-), i3@3R (3+)'', meaning that in words of two or fewer syllables, there is no secondary stress, and in words of three or more syllalbes, secondary stress is placed iteratively on every third syllable counting from the antepenultimate syllable. (see 3

phonotactics

Any phonotactic information that is relevant to the representative language is listed in the `phonotactics' field.

type

The `type' field indicates quantity (in)sensitivity: qi or qs and (un)boundedness of pattern: b or ub.

subtype

The `subtype' field indicates which type of pattern the fsa is converging to: single, dual, binary, ternary or multiple. A single stress pattern is one in which there is exactly one stressed syllable per word. Similarly, a dual stress pattern is one in which there are exactly two stressed syllables per word. In binary stress patterns, roughly every other syllable or mora is stressed. And similarly, in ternary stress patterns, roughly every third syllable or mora is stressed. A multiple stress system is on in which multiple stresses are placed, usually on quantitatively more prominent syllables.

tail_nd

This field shows a value of true if the tail canonical acceptor is 1-1 neighborhood distinct.

tail_st

This field indicates the number of states in the tail canonical acceptor.

tail_tr

This field indicates the number of transitions in the tail canonical acceptor.

tail_fi

This field indicates the number of final states in the tail canonical acceptor.

head_nd

This field shows a value of true if the head canonical acceptor is 1-1 neighborhood distinct.

head_st

This field indicates the number of states in the head canonical acceptor.

head_tr

This field indicates the number of transitions in the head canonical acceptor.

head_in

This field indicates the number of initial states in the head canonical acceptor.
