1 As in Lehmann's article, the term juncture is used in the sense of Bloch and Trager's ‘open juncture’; cf. Outline of linguistic analysis 47.

2 Linguistic data from this and neighboring dialects were collected and verified in the summer of 1955, with the generous assistance of a grant from the Endowment Association of the University of Kansas.

3 Historically, the second part of the compound pitch is the reflex of the low pitch on a minimally stressed syllable that was later syncopated. In these cases, therefore, the uninterrupted sequence of primary and secondary stress is of rather recent date.
