Summary of prosodic processes represented in Line 2.<\/h6>\n

Table 1 sums up those prosodic phenomena implicit in McQuown\u2019s representation that are made explicit in Line 2 of the texts. These processes occur at three levels, the level of the Intonational Phrase (IP), the level of the Accentual Phrase (AP), and the level of the Lexes. I employ the term \u201cLex\u201d to refer to a morphosyntactic word-form (by analogy with phone : phoneme, morph : morpheme, lex : lexeme) in order to avoid the term \u201cword\u201d, which would have required me to specify whether a given instance of \u201cword\u201d referred to the morphosyntactic unit or the phonological unit. (\u201cMc\u201d here is Line 1, McQuown\u2019s representation.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
