'''Stress shifting affixes''' is a term which refers to one of the most characteristic properties of [[Class I affix]]es: the property of having effect on the stress pattern of the base.

=== Example ===

if we add the affix -''ity'' to the word ''prodÃºctive'', the suffix attracts stress to the syllable immediately preceding it (''productÃvity''). Stress shift to the last syllable of the base is a prone characteristic of this type of affixes. Stress shifting affixes are distinguished from [[stress neutral affix]]es.
