The purpose of the study is to identify what stress changes occur in -ate and -al suffixation in terms of aspects of strength relations through making a comparison between rule-based approaches and constraint-based ones. These suffixes perform dual functions: -ate belongs to Class I (Lee 1996), but plays a role as a stress-bearing or stress-neutral suffix in its specific context where it is affixed; -al is classified into either Class I or Class II, but oscillates between stress-neutral and stress-shifting modes in suffixation. Therefore, first we reclassify the suffixes according to their characteristics in stress-modes. Next, we examine the stress change through rule-based analyses (Ross 1972, Liberman and Prince 1977, Burzio 1994), and then account for it by adopting constraint-based approaches based on the foot structures. As a result, it is demonstrated that the approaches relying on the constraints are more satisfactory in explaining the stress change as well as the strength relations between the bases and the suffixes in suffixation.
