Evidence for Foot Structure in Japanese.
Poser, William J.
Language, v66 n1 p78-105 Mar 1990
Proposals for foot structure in Japanese have been limited to versification and to mechanisms for assigning tone that bear little resemblance to stress feet. It is argued that a bimoraic foot whose properties are similar to those of stress feet in other languages plays a significant role in Japanese morphophonology. (35 references) (JL)
