CONT

Thus ... the [Vulgar Latin] surface forms "labo:ro" and "labora:re" show that the stem has the underlying representation /labo:r/ because the stem-final vowel attracts the stress and does not shift in [the phonetic representation] "labo:ro".

OBS

"Underlying form" is sometimes used in a more concrete, particular sense than "underlying representation".
