Phonetic Stress in Indian English vs. American English.
Wiltshire, Caroline; Moon, Russell
World Englishes, v22 n3 p291-303 Aug 2003
Shows that results of a study that suggests one difference between Indian English (IE) and American English (AE) varieties is the phonetic realization of prominence may be due to misinterpretation of the positioning of stress in Indian English. Shows that by considering the louder syllable to the stressed one, IE stress correlates differ in magnitude but not in direction from AE. (Author/VWL)
