This chapter compares two different positions with respect to the relevance of structure in terms of stress assignment in English derived words: the “classic derivational” and the optimality theory (OT) approach. The central issue is how to account for the preservation of stress (and vowel quality) in English affixation and whether the structure of derived words plays any role in the process. The first view presented in this chapter is couched in the framework of Distributed Morphology.Less
