Phrase-level prosodic structure #
The φ and ι layers above the prosodic word: Strict-Layer
well-formedness one level up ([Sel96]; overview
[IK22]). A phrase is a φ-node over well-formed
ω-trees; an utterance is an ι-node over phrases. HeadUnique is the
culminativity of prominence — at most one head child per node — the
structural hook the metrical weak–strong calculus of [buring-2015]
reads ([buring-2016]). phrases reads the φ-constituents off an
utterance; φ-edges are what demarcative focus reflexes
(Semantics.Focus.Reflex.boundary) realize.
A φ-node over well-formed prosodic words: the Strict Layer at the phrase level.
Equations
- Prosody.isPhraseTree t = ((RoseTree.value t).isPh && (RoseTree.children t).all Prosody.isWordTree)
Instances For
Well-formed phonological phrase.
Equations
- Prosody.IsPhrase t = (Prosody.isPhraseTree t = true)
Instances For
An ι-node over well-formed phrases: the utterance level.
Equations
- Prosody.isUtteranceTree t = ((RoseTree.value t).isIota && (RoseTree.children t).all Prosody.isPhraseTree)
Instances For
Well-formed intonational phrase (utterance).
Equations
- Prosody.IsUtterance t = (Prosody.isUtteranceTree t = true)
Instances For
Culminativity of prominence: at most one child heads its parent.
Equations
- Prosody.HeadUnique t = ((List.filter (fun (c : RoseTree Prosody.Constituent) => c.value.isHead) (RoseTree.children t)).length ≤ 1)
Instances For
The φ-constituents of a tree, outermost-first.
Equations
Instances For
Every child of a well-formed phrase is a well-formed word.
Every child of a well-formed utterance is a well-formed phrase.
