英語의 語强勢 : 接尾辭와 第一 强勢의 位置 The Influence of Suffixes on the Position of the Primary Stress = English Word Stress

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this paper 152 suffixes-31 suffixes are native, 121 foreign-are placed in five classes:
1. Suffixes of Class 0: those causing no alteration in the position of the primary stress of the stem;
2. Suffixes of Class -1: those throwing the primary stress on the last syllable of the word;
3. Suffixes of Class -2: those throwing the primary stress on the penultimate syllable of the word;
4. Suffixes of Class -3: those throwing the primary stress on the antepenultimate syllable of the word;
5. Suffixes of Class -4: those throwing the primary stress on the fourth syllable of the word;
When suffixes are classified as above, all native suffixes belong to Class 0, suffixes of French origin to Class -1, and suffixes of Latin(including Greek) origin to Class -2, Class -3, and Class -4(in case of suffixes with stress on the penultlmate syllable in old French). This study is on the hypothesis that each suffix originally belongs to one of the five classes above. Some foreign suffixes, however, subject to the influence of the characteristic feature of native suffixes, that is, native suffixes are added to independent words and make no alteration in the position of their primary stress, not infrequently change their classes into Class 0, thus beiongiug both to their respective classes and Class 0. This indicates that most foreign suffixes are within the influence of the native suffix.
