Abstract
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The paper develops a constraint-based theory of prosodic phrasing and prominence, basedonanHPSGframework,withan implementation in ALE. Prominence and juncture are represented by n-ary branching metrical trees. The general aim is to define prosodic structures recursively, in parallel with the definition of syntactic structures. We address a number of prima facie problems arising from the discrepancy between syntactic and prosodic structure</Paragraph>
