Summary
The stem has long been identified as a domain of prominence in Dene (Athabaskan) languages. Given this, one might ask if, in addition to the importance of morphology in the placement of prominence, phonological factors also play a role. In this chapter, Rice examines the role of morphology and of phonological constraints in a number of Dene languages, addressing the pathways of change that can be identified in this family. Overall, she notes that there is conservatism in the prominence systems reported for Athabaskan languages, with the root attracting prominence, all other things being equal. The phonological factor that plays a role is the placement of a trochaic foot. While the core of the reconstructed system is maintained, the trochee may shift from syllabic to moraic, with different factors involved in determining weight. Word-level prominence may be either left or right oriented. Prefixes may involve trochees as well. What is overall resistant to change is the domain of root.
