The following article addresses two reviews of post-doctoral publications, both of which are scandalous on formal and substantive levels. The key elements related to the issue are the same person (professor), acting both as a reviewer in one case, and as a committee chair in the other, along with two dramatically different final decisions concerning both post-doctoral applications. This review seeks to address two articles by Anna Bączkowska and a monograph by Dorota Zielińska-Długosz. Aside from a substantive evaluation, I address the issue of ethical conduct in relation to “Kodeks etyki pracownika naukowego” PAN (Polish Academy of Sciences Scolar’s Ethics Code). The ground of professional ethics is important not only in relation to both authors’ publications, but also to the process of post-doctoral degree procedure.

When Do Nouns Control Sentence Stress Placement?

The relation between sentence stress and grammatical category is not a new problem, but largely ignored in recent research, in which such related topics as given/new information, focus and its scope and sentence stress have often been misdirected and misconstrued. Sentence stress placement has traditionally been described in terms of two conditions: (i) the stress must fall on a contextually new lexeme; (ii) it must fall as far towards the end of the utterance as possible. The main claim of the present paper is that in neutral intonation, the place of the “neutral” stress, as contrasted with the “emphatic”/“contrastive”/“corrective” stress, is controlled by the contextual information value of the noun. The analysis of simple transitive sentences in English, German and Polish, each with a different syntactic structure, allows for the following, specific claims: (a) sentence stress must fall on the contextually “new” noun if such is present; (b) sentence stress must not fall on a contextually “given” noun; (a) and (b) lead to the conclusion that other grammatical categories, regardless of whether they are “new” or “given,” get the stress only in the absence of a “new” noun. It is also suggested that in some cases the prosodic parameters may be irrelevant in distinguishing “neutral” from “emphatic” stress.
