This research post-doctoral fellowship, entitled, "Morphological and Prosodic Structures in Tahltan," will investigate the stress in two dialects of Tahltan (Northern Athapaskan), and will lead to the development of testable hypotheses concerning the interaction of morphological and prosodic structure. Rhythmically distributed stress and binarity requirements on words suggest a role for the prosodic foot in defining word structure. The prosodic structure of the word is also implicated in the analysis of morphological stress. In one dialect, the morphological stem is always stressed, which may be approached in at least two ways. On one hypothesis, stress assignment has access to morphological structure, and so stress feet may be assigned directly to the stem; on another hypothesis, morphological information is only indirectly referenced and regular stem stress follows from the alignment of the stem and the prosodic word. A line of inquiry is sketched which will distinguish these two approaches on empirical grounds. This analysis leads to a host of empirical and theoretical questions regarding the realization of stress in words with more than one inherently stressed morpheme, the analysis of compounds and inflected verbs, and the historical relationship between regular stem stress in one dialect and lexical stem stress in another.

这项研究博士后奖学金，题为"形态和韵律结构在塔尔坦"，将调查在塔尔坦（北方阿塔帕斯坎）的两种方言的压力，并将导致有关形态和韵律结构的相互作用的可检验的假设的发展。 节奏分布的压力和二元性的要求，对单词的韵律脚在定义单词结构的作用。 词的韵律结构也涉及形态重音的分析。 在一种方言中，形态词干总是重读的，这至少可以从两个方面来理解。在一个假设中，重音分配可以访问形态结构，因此重音脚可以直接分配给词干;在另一个假设中，形态信息只是间接参考，并且常规的词干重音来自词干和韵律词的对齐。 一条调查线勾勒出这将区分这两种方法的经验的理由。 这一分析导致了大量的经验和理论问题，关于实现的压力，在一个以上的固有强调语素的话，分析复合词和曲折的动词，并定期干重音在一种方言和词汇干重音在另一个的历史关系。
