摘要四个实验的结果表明修改Turk和Sawusch的1997年的假设，重音延长发生在整个字内英尺大小的域，并阻止其边界。相反，研究结果表明：（1）与音高重音相关的音节（主要是其起始和核心）上发生了相对大量的重音延长;（2）在一个单词中，与音高重音音节相邻的音节上存在相对较大的重音效应;（3）对于某些说话者来说，单词中的重音效应较小。这些影响被削弱，但不一定被一个正字法单词大小的单位的边界所阻挡，也许是韵律词或附音组。因此，音高重音音节的左边缘和单词大小单位的左边缘和右边缘似乎都减弱了重音延长的扩展，重音延长可以扩展到三音节单词中的所有音节，主要重音在首音节上。
Abstract Results of four experiments suggest modifications of Turk and Sawusch's 1997 hypothesis that accentual lengthening occurs throughout a within-word foot-sized domain, and is blocked by its boundaries. Instead, results suggest that (1) a relatively large amount of accentual lengthening occurs on the syllable (primarily its onset and nucleus) with which the pitch accent is associated, (2) there are relatively large rightward effects on syllables adjacent to the pitch accented syllable within a word, and (3) small leftward effects within a word for some speakers. These effects are attenuated, but not necessarily blocked, by the boundaries of a unit the size of an orthographic word, perhaps a prosodic word or clitic group. Both the left edge of a pitch accented syllable and the left and right edges of a word-sized unit thus appear to attenuate the spread of accentual lengthening, which can extend throughout all syllables in a trisyllabic word with primary stress on the initial syllable.
