Supplementary phrases for Phase 1 database
Jill's edited version, 9/2/98

Rather than use the Cambridge data as purely supplementary material,
I thought I'd incorporate the phrases into a new batch of structures,
involving 2-foot sequences. This shouldn't affect the integrity
of the phrases themselves, which for comparability with my original
sets will place the syllable of interest in nuclear position.
So I'm reclassifying as follows:
Group 3:
- two AGs, falling nuclear tone in second AG; not deliberately
controlled for word boundaries at this point
- two feet: (s w w) (s)
Group 4:
- two AGs, as above
- two feet (s w) (s)
Group 5:
- two AGs, as above
- two feet (s w w) (s w)
Group 6:
- two AGs, as above
- two feet (s w) (s w)
Even these groupings don't exhaust the structures in the Cambridge
data, which include (s s) and (s w w) feet in nuclear position,
and I'll deal with those in due course.
The present document just includes examples from groups 3 and
4, which as you'll see both have a monosyllabic nuclear foot.
