Citazioni

Many utterance-final tone sequences […] are accompanied by an increased duration of phonemes and a laxness of articulation: in 'Look at his book.' the second [u] is longer than the first. We must therefore be prepared to recognize long contours (or fixed sequences) representing combinations of various features of speech.
