| description | In this paper we explore the possible correlation between stress pattern and semantics based on the study of two prefixes with spatial meaning: pre- and post-. The opposition between separable and inseparable prefixed words explains the different stress patterns for most cases. However, even when the prefix is semantically inseparable, some meaning can be perceived and the reinterpretation of the prefixed word can lead to variants of the stress pattern as seems to be the case with premature. On the other hand, separable units such as prehistory may well be interpreted and stressed independently from their two constituting elements. |
