This book analyses Cairenesâ (TM) interlingual errors in English main word stress following Halle and Vergnaudâ (TM)s (1987) metrical model and Archibaldâ (TM)s (1998) parameter resetting. The findings show the difficulty the research subjects had in stressing items with stress different from Cairene Colloquial Arabic (CCA) and with stress similar to CCA. The book also shows that the subjectsâ (TM) correct stress patterns were due to parameter resetting, and that English stress patterns that are both different and more marked than corresponding CCA stress patterns caused learning difficulties for the subjects.
