''title:'' The stress patterns of //-ative// words \\ 
''abstract:'' This essay examines the stress patterns displayed by words ending in //-ative.// After a brief introduction, the second section is devoted to rule-based approaches. Nanni's (1977) and Halle and Vergnaud's (1985) account is found to be inadequate for the description of the stress patterns of //-ative// items. However, Burzio's (1994) constraint-based theory successfully accounts for the great majority of attested stress patterns, which is shown in the third section through the analysis of the possible pronunciations of 135 //-ative// words. Some modifications to the constraints are suggested. As a result, only 3 items are unaccounted for. Additionally, ternary feet with a heavy medial syllable ending in a sonorant or s are found to be well-formed, despite that Burzio occasionally refers to them as ill-formed. \\
