Primary Stress in Misantla Totonac
Abstract
The Misantla dialect of Totonac has relatively straightforward rules of stress assignment for both nouns and verbs. However; word final inflectional suffixes on verbs result in stress patterns which are difficult to account for by the normal rules. In this paper I will present the regular rules of nominal and verbal stress in Totonac and consider various solutions to the problems posed by stress assignment on verbs with inflectional suffixes.
