Language of title: English
Author/Creator: Ramawatar Yadav
One Sentence Summary: The article reviews some of the proposed stress-assignment rules for Maithili and then attempts to rewrite the stress placement rules in light of data provided in trails.

Description: The article reviews some of the proposed stress-assignment rules for Maithili and then attempts to rewrite the stress placement rules in light of data provided in trails. The author argues that like most Indo-Aryan languages Maithili is a stress language. However, stress in Maithili is far weaker than in English. Vowel reduction in unstressed positions is not as great in Maithili as in English. Also, stress is less significant, playing only a marginal role in distinguishing words. It discusses the previous studies of word stress in Indo-Aryan languages including Maithili. It includes a number of examples of words with the syllable position. (Rajeev Ranjan Singh 2007-01-21)
