Definition
Within words, stressed syllables are usually longer than unstressed syllables. The same goes for accented and unaccented words in an utterance: accented words are longer than unaccented. Strong reduction of word forms may occur when words are not very important in a particular utterance. Other phenomena with respect to temporal organisation are anticipatory shortening and final lengthening.
