I will argue for a distinction between phenomenal prominence (stress and accent) and metrical prominence (temporal prominence) with the primary purpose of phenomenal prominence being to indicate the positions of metrical prominence (and, therefore, overall metrical organization). I will draw on the theoretical and empirical literature on musical rhythm to support the distinction. In fleshing out the distinction, I will make several key claims about the nature and purpose of the two types of prominence. I will argue, for example, that the list of phenomena that might constitute stress or accent must go beyond the usual suspects\u2014pitch, length, and loudness\u2014to include phenomena like timbre (quality), voicing, and aspiration.\u00a0 I will also argue that metrical patterns are always richly structured and that minimal phenomenal cues are necessary to indicate a particular rich metrical organization. One of the key consequences that this view has for our picture of the empirical terrain is that there are no single or dual prominence systems from a metrical perspective.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Venue<\/strong>: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">ABW-6190<\/span>, Academic Building (15 Seminary Pl)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Apr 08<\/strong>: Practice Talks for <em>Tu+11<\/em>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Presenters<\/strong>: Adam M., Utku, Zoe, Colin &amp; Merlin<\/li>\n<li><strong>Titles <\/strong>(abstracts attached)\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1izXBk8is8OCum8XmVVxs2b2Ju1bimCqj\/view?usp=share_link\">Not All Round Vowels are Created Equal: Trigger Asymmetries in Kazakh Rounding Harmony (oral)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1Rn9dRvGakkcx7ksj2MW5c33l6G7x_aVi\/view?usp=share_link\">Perceptual Weakness in Backness Harmony: Applying Insights from Rounding Harmony (poster)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Venue<\/strong>: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">ABW-5050<\/span>, Academic Building (15 Seminary Pl)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Apr 22<\/strong>: Practice Talks for <em>PhPhone<\/em>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Presenters<\/strong>: Marjorie<\/li>\n<li><strong>Titles<\/strong>: How is Dominance Reversal Possible?
