DescriptionFrom the introduction to the paper:

Coatepec Totonac is a language with phonological short and long vowels and iambic stress. Teh language uses distinct correlates of phonetic duration to impart different kinds of phonological information at three levels of its prosodic hierarchy. In this work we will show that a) at the level of the binary foot, only reduction in the weak branch are observed, which accent the iambic stres; (while Hayes (1995:82-83) observes that iambs are generally created by lengthening of the nuclear branch), and b) however, in the final edges of the two higher levels of the prosodic hierarchy lengthenings are observed, which increase the prominence of the final iamb of the units of these levels; provisionally we have called these level the Lexical level and the Phrase Stress level, labels that are not technical prosodic hierarchy levels but rather are just descriptive level of the graphical representation of McQuown's texts.
