Citazioni

[…] the phonetic values of the contour components are usually all pitch and stress features, which we are accustomed to consider a thing apart, while the phonetic values of the other components may seem to us to be arbitrarily extracted from the rest of the segment, as when we distinguish the closure of /b/ from its lip position.
