Abstract
It is widely accepted that English adjectives ending with the suffix -al follow the Latin Stress Rule, by which primary stress is placed on the penult when it is heavy and on the antepenult otherwise. However, the rule allows exceptions such as artisanal, where primary stress can be placed on the light penult or on the pre-antepenult. Furthermore, another kind of anomaly is found in words such as adjectival, which follow the Latin Stress Rule, but which have undergone a vowel change. We will argue that these exceptional cases can be handled if we assume that the suffix can inhibit resyllabification and that reduction takes place on relevant syllables.
