| Citazioni | Each macrosegment ends with one of three ‘teminal contours’ /|/, /↑/, or /↓/, preceded by one of four ‘pitch levels’ /1/, /2/, /3/, /4/; there is another occurrence of one of the four pitch levels at the beginning of the most prominent syllable in the macrosegment; and if this (the ‘center’ of the macrosegment) is not at the beginning of the macrosegment, there are one or two additional pitch-level occurrences before the center. |
