OT - Syllabic Stress in English and Russian

[Dennis <ixohoxi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

	One usually hears that in both English and Russian
there is no rule for where to place the syllabic
stress, that it has to be learned with each word, and
in Russian it shifts with different declensional and
conjugational forms.

	However, I've read that this is not true in either
case.  There are rules; they just depend on whether a
noun or verb is involved.  I read this in Frederick
Newmeyer's *Linguistic Theory in America*, 2nd ed. a
long time ago.  He just mentioned it in passing and
gave a reference.  I just got the book again and
skimmed it, but could not find it.  Can anyone point me
to references on this?
