title: Some issues of segment length and syllable weight
abstract: The paper consists of two major parts: the first one (section 2) compares rival analyses of syllable weight, focusing, in particular, on some compensatory lengthening phenomena, and offering some alternative solutions, claiming that moraic phenomena take place on a separate autosegmental tier, independently of syllabic organisation. The second part (section 3) tackles problems of Hungarian surface vowel shortening and lengthening, and claims that phenomena that have earlier been treated as instances of moraic compensatory lengthening are not, in fact, moraic in nature.
