"text": "The problem of unbounded stress has proven challenging for subregular phonology. Baek (2018) has recently shown that unbounded stress provides a counterexample to the weak subregular hypothesis (Heinz, 2018) , which claims that phonological phenomena can be represented by tier-based strictly local languages (TSL, Heinz et al., 2011) when viewed as decision problems that accept grammatical utterances. To remedy this, Baek proposes that the decision to project a symbol to the tier may be conditioned by local contextual information such as the presence of word boundaries. This proposal has been extended to a generalized tier projection system in which tier projection is implemented by arbitrary deleting functions (Mayer and Major, 2018; Graf and Mayer, 2018) .",

"text": "Viewing unbounded stress as a transduction problem that maps underlying forms without prosodic representation to surface forms marked for primary stress, Hao and Andersson (2019) show that unbounded stress systems are similarly handeled by generalized tier projection, but that they fall outside the class of tier-based input strictly local functions (TISL, Chandlee, 2014) . Hao and Andersson demonstrate that default-to-oppositeside (DO) systems can be captured by adapting generalized tier projection to subregular functions. However, it turns out that the \"bidirectional\" nature of default-to-same-side (DS) systems cannot be implemented by subsequential functions, which allow only a single unidirectional pass over the input. They instead propose that DS systems should be understood as interaction-free weakly deterministic functions in the sense of McCollum et al. (2018) .",

"text": "These results raise conceptual questions regarding the treatment of stress in subregular phonology. In particular, the mechanism of generalized tier projection intuitively seems powerful and ad-hoc. The basic elements of subregular phonology, namely strict locality and the traditional tier projection system of Heinz et al. (2011) , can be viewed as formalizations of rule and tier systems that are well-established in phonological theory (Chandlee, 2014; Chomsky and Halle, 1968; Goldsmith, 1976) . While generalized tier projection enables Baek (2018) and Hao and Andersson (2019) to define classes of finite-state machines that capture unbounded stress, it is unclear whether generalized tier projection is similarly grounded in existing phonological constructs. Reflecting on this issue, Hao and Andersson observe that the generalized tier-projection mechanism they use to produce Dybo's Rule (Dybo, 1977) , a model of the stress system in Abkhaz, bears a striking resemblance to the syllable tier used in a standard analysis of that system within metrical grid theory (MGT, Prince, 1983; Hayes, 1995) . From that observation we might hypothesize that stress systems computed using generalized tier projection naturally correspond to those described by MGT.",

"text": "In this paper, I will argue that this intuition does not hold for the transduction problem, though it may hold for the decision problem. To that end, I define a formal model of MGT in Section 4, and show in Section 5 that the stress systems described by MGT do not correspond to those represented by functions defined using generalized tier projection. I also give evidence to suggest that decision problems described by MGT can be represented using generalized tier projection even when their corresponding transduction problems cannot. These results imply not only that functions based on generalized tier projection are not grounded in MGT, but also that the typological predictions they make about the range of possible stress systems differ from those made by MGT and by decision problems.",

In this section, I show that MGT is strictly more expressive than the I-TISL functions. The example that separates MGT from the I-TISL functions is motivated by Hao and Andersson's (2019) formalization of Dybo's Rule (Dybo, 1977) , a description of unbounded stress in Abkhaz. I review Hao and Andersson's implementation of Dybo's Rule both as a stress system and as a 3-level grid in Subsection 5.1. In Subsection 5.2, I show that a slight modification of Hao and Andersson's stress system is in fact not I-TISL, even though the ability of MGT and I-TSL languages to describe the system is not affected by the change in representation, as will be shown in Subsection 5.3.",

The analysis of Section 5 has revealed that this similarity is superficial because the computations carried out by I-TISL functions, I-TSL languages, and metrical grids are fundamentally different from one another. The most prominent of the differences discussed here is that systems implementing the transduction problem need to transfer a substantial amount of information about the underlying form to the surface form, while systems implementing the decision problem only need to retain enough information to distinguish a grammatical string from an ungrammatical one. Thus, the transduction problem may be viewed as conceptually more difficult than the decision problem. 5 While metrical grids compute transductions, their memory capabilities are enhanced by the fact that rule composition allows state information to be encoded in intermediate layers. Conjecture 31 suggests that this enhanced memory may be sufficient for MGT to bridge the gap between the transduction problem and the decision problem.",
