Notes I am grateful to Sylvain Bromberger, David Embick, John Frampton, Kristin Hanson, Jay Keyser, Michael Kenstowicz, Bert Vaux, as well as to an anonymous reviewer for helpful comments. 1. Hayes 1995, chapter 8 discusses additional instances of ternary stress patterns and o¤ers an alternative account of these as special cases of binary footing. I am not altogether persuaded by Hayes’s proposals, but because of the complexity of the issues involved, a discussion of these proposals must be deferred to another occasion.
