We have analyzed OE stress pattern by means of OT, which focuses on the surface representation and constraint ranking. We can explain OE stress from the view point of foot-based OT. The stress foot is the basic unit of OE stress. We propose a new constraint ranking, that is, FT-FORM, NF, ALIGN HEAD >> ALIGN ST, WSP >> PARSE-SYL to explain primary and secondary stress. ALIGN HEAD can handle the fact that OE has the main stress on the first syllable. In addition, FOOT FORM and WSP solve the problem that secondary stress falls on the penultimate syllable followed additional elements.
