[Omit the word; rephrase the sentence.] Explanation: "Tratamento"is redundant if you rephrase the sentence because 'conditioned' already conveys the meaning. (I don't have a problem with 'contradicting', but my rewording between asterisks gets the point across much better than in your proposed version. 'Contradicting the argument in (i), Mahmout (2011) claims that *the regular nature of stress in words with a heavy final syllable* is conditioned either quantitatively or morphologically.' |

[either by means of the quantitative or the] morphological approach Explanation: "Tratamento" means approach; it is an important word in the sentence and should not be omitted. On the other hand, the word "condicionado" can be omitted: "quantitatively conditioned approach" --> quantitative approach "morphologically conditioned approach" --> morphological approach What the Portuguese text is saying is that the regular nature of stress in words with a heavy final syllable can be reached/obtained following either of those two approaches. References: The morphological approach leaves a lot of phonological regularity unexplained... http://www.pauldelacy.net/webpage/docs/delacy-2003-maximal w... The stability and robustness of posttonicity in suffixes is in itself an argument for the morphological approach to stress assignment... http://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:576863/FULLTEXT01...
