| Oct 22, 2018 at 11:21 | comment | added | Lance Pollard | From what you are saying I am still a bit confused. I have seen systems like [high, high-rising, low, low-rising, low-falling, high-falling], that is where it seems like it would be hard to perceive and produce. Maybe at least I am confused because IPA has symbols for all this, but maybe in practice it is just not done because like you say it is hard to perceive. | |
