The Accentuation of Intransitive Sentences in English.
Faber, David
Journal of Linguistics, v23 n2 p341-58 Sep 1987
Discusses the accentuation of two types of sentence in English: (1) straightforward intransitive sentences, and (2) intransitive sentences embedded in the frame "It's just NP noun phrase[ V verb[-ing." Modifications to Gussenhoven's (1983) Sentence Accent Assignment Rule (SAAR) are suggested based on large groups of exceptions of the SAAR. (Author/LMO)
