关于相对韵律边界强度的概括是递归的。最初的证据来自仅由专有名称和和OR组成的英语片段。语义，句法组合学和坐标结构的韵律措辞之间的系统关系可以通过递归构建其韵律来捕获，并与他们组成的构图含义一致。基于边缘的第文措辞的替代方法无法捕获概括的递归性质，结果独立于韵律表示本身是否被认为是递归的。尽管有两种明显的反例，但该模式超出了协调语法的概括：韵律平坦但句法表达的结构，以及韵律和语法之间明显截然不同的结构。仔细检查表明，该语法实际上可能与韵律相符。在这两种情况下，自然语言都采用策略来用列表状结构而不是嵌套结构来解释复杂的含义。列表的特权状态可能是由于处理因素所致。
Generalizations about relative prosodic boundary strength are recursive. Initial evidence comes from the fragment of English consisting only of proper names and and and or. A systematic relation between the semantics, the syntactic combinatorics, and the prosodic phrasing of coordinate structures can be captured by recursively building up their prosody, in tandem with assembling their compositional meaning. Alternative edge-based approaches to prosodic phrasing fail to capture the recursive nature of the generalization, a result independent of whether or not prosodic representation itself is assumed to be recursive. The pattern generalizes beyond the grammar of coordination, despite two types of apparent counterexamples: Structures that are prosodically flat but syntactically articulated, and structures with an apparent outright mismatch between prosody and syntax. Closer inspection suggests that the syntax might actually be quite in tune with prosody. In both cases, natural language employs strategies to construe complex meaning with list-like structures rather than nested ones. The privileged status of lists may be due to processing factors.
