examples: rising and falling into

- how the tail continues the tone begun by the tonic syllable

you mean add a syllable to a tone?

broken because of what? a different 1st conso?


confusing

rhyme = parallel?
a tail which
has two or more
syllables

stressed => rise from here


rise on the final syllable here too
but rise compare to the prev syllable
not in the final syllable itself (low rise)

final stressed syllable in the tail

2 syllables => rising


x stressed syllable in the tail => final rise

rise-fall
1 syllable after the tonic syllable => tonic syllable: rise, the syllable (tail) that follows: fall
> 1 syllable after the tonic syllable => 1st syllable: high => the other syllable(s): low
beau: tonic syllable - rise
a single tone
2 tail syllables => 1st high 2nd low all: tonic syllable => rise | tail: many syllables => 1st high, then low

tonic syllable: that’s => rise


tail: >1 syllable => 1st: high, then low

chap 16: head - the part of a tone unit which extends from the 1st stressed syllable to, but not including,

the tonic syllable

higher than the beginning pitch of the tonic syllable - even with rising
not pitch variation (yes) => continue the pitch means to have the same pitch

in a tone unit: stressed syllables mark the beginning of the head/part of tail
(not pre-head)

in the direction of
= towards

notice these details


+, high head
+, unstressed syllables continue the pitch of the stressed syllable before it
high and low head
YES! BUT WHY IS IT NOT EASY TO BE IDENTIFIED???

e.g:
rise-fall
fall-rise
with tail

but most prominent - in a tone unit is not always - highest (e.g: high head - either one or many stressed
syllables in the head)

(ii) him => not a content word


supraseg = syllables

mostly because
of pauses
