Foot structure in persian language based on metrical stress theory

This paper, based on metrical stress theory (Hayes, 1981), begins to argue that lexemes of standard Persian have a bounded main stress with feet which are mostly right-dominant and quantity-sensitive. It also illustrates that the foot construction in Persian follows a "right-to-left" process. Then it argues that in the theoretical framework of Hayes (1995), the lexemes of Persian have Iambic feet with a "Final End Rule".
