The idea that stress applies cyclically, i.e., iteratively in increasingly bigger morphosyntactic domains has been at the foundations of theoretical phonology, as we know it (Chomsky, Halle & Lukoff 1956). In this course, we discuss the most important approaches to cyclic stress (e.g. Liberman & Prince 1977, Halle & Vergnaud 1987, Hayes 1995, Burzio 1994, Collie 2007), the typology of cyclic stress phenomena , and formal aspects of its computation (Bjorkman, & Dunbar 2016).
