På svenska

Author

Summary, in English

The purpose of this paper is to give an introduction to how lexical word stress in Swedish can be analysed with modern phonological theories as metrical phonology (Liberman 1975) and optimality theory (Prince & Smolensky 1993). Central concepts and structures within the phonological theories are introduced and discussed, and examples of how the word stress pattern of

Swedish can be treated within optimality theory (OT) are given. We will deal both with monomorphemic words, as well as compound words and affixes.
