Abstract
(1) ORDERING HYPOTHESIS A. In English, Class I affixation precedes Class II affixation. B. The cyclic stress assignment rules follow Class I affixation and precede Class II affixation.

No Level I +boundary affixes can appear outside compounds, which are formed by Level III rules
Summary
This appraisal is directed at Allen I s (1978) Extended Ordering Hypothesis ( "EOH"), 1) which represents an "extension" of Siegel's (1974) Ordering Hypothesis. Allen (1978 : 232ff.) discusses various morphologically complex words of English in which, apparently, affixes appear outside compounds, The existence of such words poses a serious challenge to the EOH. She employs a number of strategies to protect the EOH from refutation by this apparent counterevidence. Allen does not explicitly characterize the status of her morphological theory as either language-specific or language-independent She (1978:1) merely states that the aim of her thesis is "to determine the nature of the principles of word formation, and to investigate their interaction vlith other granunatical phenomena".
