概要	This study aims to provide a theoretical explanation for accent placement in English appositional compounds. In compounds, primary stress generally falls on the first element (e.g., ápple cake, bláck bird), while in appositional compounds, primary stress is consistently found in the second element (e.g., singer-sóngwriter, writer-diréctor). We contend that information structure is crucially involved not only in the constituent ordering of appositional compounds but also in explaining the relevant phonological phenomenon. Appositional compounds, when compared to other types of compounds, can be viewed as 'lists of propositions', wherein the primary stress on the rightward constituent plays a crucial role as 'new' information.
