<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span>The internal structure of syllables has proved to be crucial in the definition of the basic lexical stress system. In the </span></span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span>assignment of stress to word entries, Catalan behaves as a quantity-sensitive language: syllable moras are the basis </span></span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span>in computation. Two major patterns have been observed at the surface level: (a) Vowel-final words have </span></span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span>penultimate stress, (b) Consonant-final words have final stress. The analysis has benefited from the recognition that </span></span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span>morphemes, not words, are the proper domain of stress algorithms.
