Hayes' (1995) metrical stress theory mainly focuses on stress languages based on the earlier proposition (i.e., Jakobson 1931) that the stress-bearing unit is the syllable. Thus, it claims that feet are built on syllables in all languages. In Japanese, however, accent involves pitch rather than stress. Pitch patterns are the result of a process of culminative function in the sense that each domain has a single most prominent primitive unit (e.g., the mora in Japanese) bearing the main accent. At least, the psychological reality of syllables is less substantive than that of moras in Japanese.

520 $a Hayes' (1995) metrical stress theory mainly focuses on stress languages based on the earlier proposition (i.e., Jakobson 1931) that the stress-bearing unit is the syllable. Thus, it claims that feet are built on syllables in all languages. In Japanese, however, accent involves pitch rather than stress. Pitch patterns are the result of a process of culminative function in the sense that each domain has a single most prominent primitive unit (e.g., the mora in Japanese) bearing the main accent. At least, the psychological reality of syllables is less substantive than that of moras in Japanese.
520 $a In the present proposal, the syllable is divorced from the foot. This allows moras to become direct subconstituents of feet, freeing syllables to form a separate hierarchy. I explore the theoretical underpinnings of the present approach by reexamining the accent patterns of Japanese loanwords and long nominal compounds in an integrated manner. I conduct a phonetic experiment in order to provide evidence of surface ternary feet and to show how stray moras are incorporated into adjacent feet in order to meet surface exhaustivity. I include case studies of two Austronesian languages, Fijian and Ponapean, in an attempt to tighten the theory based on a set of parameters and surface ternary foot templates. I believe that the theoretical points are deeply embedded in other languages. I also explore a set of possible parameters in terms of computational linguistics.
520 $a The present proposals include the idea that prosodic organization into foot structure arises in the process of ongoing speech by complying with surface exhaustivity. It results in the distinction between an initial parsing and a surface parsing mechanism. My departure from Hayes' central proposition, that the stressable unit is the syllable, and the adoption of a new definition, that feet are built on the primitive timing units, sheds additional light on the nature of layering considerations in the prosodic hierarchy.
