• The purpose of this paper is to show that the various accent patterns of the Tokyo and Nagoya dialects are reduced to the interaction of two pitch determining factors: realization of phrasal intonation and realization of the accent feature in a word. The intrinsic difference of the two dialects rests in the difference of where the phrasal intonation is realized. In the Tokyo dialect, it is between the first and the second moras as in #LH. In the Nagoya dialect, it is between the second and the third moras as in #LLH. Seemingly complicated surface accent pitch patterns are due to the effects of some other factors. Those are the length of the word, the position of the accent fall, and the accent feature in the suffix. Rather than positing a set of ordered rules, constraint ranking and candidate evaluation according to the practice of the Optimality Theory gives the straightforward account to the complex language facts.
