Reviews

'The book covers an unparalleled range of issues in word stress: what it is, how we best describe it and how we best analyze and represent it. It advances our understanding of word stress and everybody with an interest in linguistics should read it.' Ruben van der Vijver, Heinrich-Heine-Universitat Dusseldorf 'This edited volume is fascinating reading and brings together outstanding scholars to provide a solid and updated contribution to fundamental questions that pertain to the nature of stress. Its breadth and scope, the richness of the data explored, and the refreshing insights on metrical research will provoke both thought and discussion.' Anthi Revithiadou, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki
