'''Level Ordering Hypothesis''' is a hypothesis proposed in Siegel (1974) which takes the form in (i):

(i) Class I affixation
\/
Word Stress Rules
\/
Class II affixation

This hypothesis embodies the claim that [[affixation]] takes place in two linearly ordered blocks, which are separated by the word stress rules.

=== Example ===

the derivation of the English words ''productívity'' and ''prodúctiveness'' runs as follows. In the case of ''productivity'', we first put together ''pro''-, ''duct'', -''ive'', and -''ity'' (all Class I), and then we apply the stress rules (''productÃvity''). The derivation of ''productiveness'' is crucially different. First we put together ''pro''-, ''duct'', and -''ive'', then we apply the stress rules (''prodúctive''), and only then do we have the chance to add the Class II affix -''ness'', giving ''prodúctiveness''. Since the affixation of -''ness'' takes place after the stress rules have applied, it is correctly predicted that -''ness'' cannot affect the stress already assigned to ''productive''. Allen (1978) has replaced Siegel's Level Ordering Hypothesis by the more detailed [[Extended Level ordering Hypothesis]].
