Word stress in Thai coordinate and subordinate compounds
Keywords:
Word stress, compound word, coordinate compound, subordinate compound, ThaiAbstract
This study investigated word stress in Thai coordinate and subordinate compounds. Coordinate and subordinate compounds in Thai are hypothesized to exhibit the same word stress patterns depending on their semantic compositionality, including primary-primary stress in coordinate and subordinate compounds with high compositionality and secondary-primary stress in compounds with low compositionality. The results of this study confirm both hypotheses.
