Citazioni

We may freely speak either of the center of an intonation or of the center of a macrosegment. [...].Everything from the center to the end, including the center, is the ‘head’; anything which precedes the center is a ‘pendant’. By definition, then, every macrosegment includes a center and a head [...], but only some include a pendant.
- Hockett (1958), Pag. 38
