This penultimate section of the article deals first with the anomalies in the existing evidence and then with the question of prediction. Instead, there is a predictable process by which the penultimate vowel of a phonological phrase becomes lengthened. The significant duration difference between closed penultimate and other closed syllables is somewhat surprising. For example, the penultimate chapter (the largest in the book) contains summaries of no fewer than ten different commentators within the space of thirteen pages. In the penultimate section, models are estimated over three decades, 1960-89. Forms with penultimate stress were produced more often than forms with final stress. Out of the 896 forms produced, 585 (65%) had penultimate stress. That is, the phrase accent is copied to two locations, the nuclear syllable and the penultimate syllable. The functional approach predicts that the masculine forms would be favored, whereas the prosodic approach predicts preference for forms with penultimate stress. This ranking accounts for penultimate stress by ensuring that a bimoraic trochee is placed as close as possible to the right edge of the word.

The nouns chosen were usually bisyllabic with initial stress (in some cases trisyllabic with initial or penultimate stress, or monosyllabic with a sonorant coda). It will be recalled that in such sequences, stress falls on the penultimate syllable of the lexeme (not the morphological word). The penultimate chapter deals with the role of memory and the search for personal meaning in response to impending death in a death-denying society.
