Syllables, moras and accents in Beja
Journal of Linguistics, 1973 In his study of Japanese phonology, McCawley introduces an interesting typological classification of languages according to the kinds of rules needed for describing the distribution of prosodic features like stress and pitch (1968: 58–61). Whereas Trubetzkoy had made a simple distinction between ‘syllablecounting’ languages and ‘mora-counting ...

Fundamental frequency and perceived prominence of accented syllables. II. Nonfinal accents
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1994 An experiment is described addressing the question of whether two accented syllables in a phrase should have equal pitch maxima in order to be perceived as equally prominent, or whether the second accented syllable should have lower pitch. The latter alternative was found to apply to the last accented syllable in an utterance by Terken [‘‘Fundamental ...

Focus Conditions and the Prominence of Pitch-Accented Syllables
Language and Speech, 1996The purpose of the present study is to find out how the pitch peak heights on two pitch-accented syllables in one utterance relate to different focus conditions. The focus conditions are neutral focus, double contrastive focus, and single contrastive focus on either the first or the second pitch-accented syllable.

Peak alignment in accented Tolowa syllables
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2006Tolowa (Athabaskan, Pacific Coast Group) has only three remaining fluent speakers near Crescent City, CA. Tolowa has prominent pitch contours that have been described both as an interaction of stress and vowel length and as lexically specified pitch accent. The present study examined the phonetic realization of these pitch contours.

Fundamental frequency and perceived prominence of accented syllables
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1991Perceived prominence differences between accented words have been accounted for in terms of fundamental frequency (F0) variations. In one theory prominence is related to the relative magnitude of F0 changes, and in another theory prominence is related to relative frequencies of F0 maxima.
