Abstract

We examine the position of the sentential main accent in subordinate clauses in Lekeitio Basque describing a new asymmetry. Whereas a lexically unaccented word preceding the subordinate verb in a clause with -ela ‘that’ will carry the main accent, that is not true in clauses with other complementizers. We empirically verify this unusual contrast and provide a syntactic analysis for this asymmetry. We propose that the explanation has to do with the phase-domain where accent assignment takes place. We suggest that, except for -ela, all other complementizers are postpositional and that, consequently, accent is assigned at different phases.
