We went over the following tunes, and Mary will find or record a minimal quadruplet illustrating the four: L* H- L% L* H- H% "American English Yes-No Question" L* L- H% "Tag" and "vocative" L* L- L% We contrasted L* H- H% also to H* H- H% and discussed the meanings (as outlined in Pierrehumbert & Hirschberg, 1990). Mary will record a minimal pair, illustrating it. We talked about the difficulty posed by strong ("secondary stress") after the nuclear accent in H* L- L% ending tunes with longish postnuclear "tails", as in <> x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x Good afternoon, Information Services. | | ] H* H* L-H% where the lexically stressed first syllable of "Services" in the compound noun "Information Services" is certainly stressed, but not accented. We suggested that the stress here is analogous to the third syllable in the first utterance in <> -- see http://ling.osu.edu/~mbeckman/795Tsu2004/stressPatterns1.txt Mary will record the pair: (1) Mario won't marry, will he? (2) Maria won't MARRY Willy (but she will date him). so that you can see the difference between L* L- H% on an intermediate phrase after a H* L- sequence in (1) and a comparable segmental sequence in the post-nuclear tail in a H* L- H% tune in (2).
