摘要：The study was undertaken with the objective to compile a detailed description of the lexical stress pattern in Pahari. The study found out the following: 1) from a typological point of view, Pahari is a quantity-sensitive, rhythmic, and unbounded language; 2) superheavy syllables get the main stress irrespective of their place of occurrence in the word; 3) the penult gets the main stress when all syllables have equal weight (heavy-heavy or super-heavy-superheavy); 4) when a syllable does not fit into the stress pattern of the language, extrametricality is used to make it fit.
