本文的目的有两个：（1）回顾英语中第一类后缀在重音分配方面的各种行为;（2）论证部分排序理论-Anttila（2002）等提出的OT版本-正确地解释了后缀中的丰富性，预测了这里观察到的所有变化。每一个后缀都被归类为具有五种重音模式之一，所有这些都可以通过五种一般约束的部分排名来表征。没有其他模式比这五个预测出现，因为一些约束的相互作用不产生任何语音的后果。同时，本文还对各种模式在后缀中的实际使用频率进行了初步调查，结果表明，各种模式在后缀中所占的比例与本文所预测的比例大致相符，说明本文所预测的比例是合理的。
The goal of this paper is twofold: (1) to review various behaviors of Class 1 suffixes with regard to stress assignment in English; and (2) to argue that the partial ordering theory -a version of OT proposed by Anttila (2002), etc. -properly accounts for such abundance among suffixes, predicting all and only the variation observed here. Each suffix turns out to be classified as having one of five stress patterns, all of which can be characterized by partial rankings of five general constraints. No other patterns than these five are predicted to arise because some of the constraint interactions do not produce any phonological consequence. A pilot survey on actual frequency of each pattern among suffixes is also conducted, and the result shows that the proportion of each pattern roughly corresponds to the proportion predicted by the present analysis, suggesting its appropriateness.
