title: PRESUME-tensing: An analogical account
keywords: presume-tensing, unstressed vowels, variation, analogy
abstract: The vowel of word-initial unstressed syllables can be lax or tense in words like presume and December. The paper looks into the factors conditioning this variation, and proposes that analogical effects between words sharing a similar morphological element are responsible for the possibility of tensing (or lack thereof).
