Prosodic Universals

Prosodic Universals is a linguistic theory that identifies invariant patterns in the hierarchical organisation and phonological structuring of prosodic units—such as syllables, feet, and intonational phrases—across natural languages, thereby distinguishing itself from phonetic or syntactic universals by focusing specifically on suprasegment mucoustic and rhythmic properties common to all human speech.
