Understanding English word accentuation

Language Sciences 29 (2007). Research paper. The author contrasts two ways of representing English word stress — the approach by Chomsky
and Halle, and the one found in many English-language dictionaries. For Chomsky–Halle, the full vowels are always stressed, while for the dictionary makers, full vowels can be either accented or unaccented. The author chooses the dictionary treatment of accents, which suggests a natural way of assigning foot structure to syllables.
