The initial form is found at the beginning of phonological words.

Within a phonological word, all syllables but the last change tone.

If it does not, the pitch rises gradually across the phonological word.

It disappears when the syllable is not the nucleus of a phonological word.

However, none of them are pronounced alone without vowels, so they are not phonological words.

Stress is assigned only after the lexeme has received all its affixes to form the whole phonological word.

Primary word stress then goes to the penultimate mora of the phonological word.

The phonological word has one and only one high tone which may occur in any syllable of the word.

Phonological words do not necessarily match orthographic words.

An extreme level of this theoretical quandary posed by some phonological words is provided by the Kwak'wala language.

Prosodic units occur at a hierarchy of levels, from the metrical foot and phonological word to a complete utterance.

Studies on the Phonological Word.

Enclitics form a single phonological word together with the host word to which they attach, and count towards the three-syllable rule too.

Young children with higher phonological word characteristic processing have significantly better reading skills later on than older children who focus on whole-word orthographic representation.

As in Shanghainese, in Wenzhounese only some of the syllables of a phonological word carry tone.

Here are examples from other languages of the failure of a single phonological word to coincide with a single morphological word form.

To summarize differently: a speaker of Kwak'wala does not perceive the sentence to consist of these phonological words:

For example, one study used the LRP component to characterize the temporal order of syntactic and phonological word processing while preparing to speak.

Alternative historical English spellings of the Sanskrit phonological words with different meanings to include suastika, swastica, and svastica.

The stressed syllable is the first syllable with high tone in the phonological word (usually the second syllable of the word).

Phonological word (P-word, ω)

The Sotho language is spoken conjunctively yet written disjunctively (that is, the spoken phonological words are not the same as the written orthographical words).

This assumption states that language nodes/tags exist to provide a representation for the language of membership based on the information from upstream orthographic and phonological word ID processes.

Integrational Morphology, concerned with the analysis of phonological words (and other medial types of syntactic base forms) into meaningful parts, is largely analogous to Integrational Syntax.

However, the clitic always forms a phonological word the preceding word rather than the nominal, with the result that the suffixing generalization is always true as far as the phonology is concerned.
