The methodological support for the analysis is the observation of the relation between music and lyrics, in order to verify whether elements such as duration and musical prominence can bring clues to the process of prosodic constituency in the linguistic level, that is, in the process of marking the boundaries and the prominence of those superior prosodic constituents. The results indicate the preference for cumulating rhythmic and melodic factors in the process of marking the salience of intonational phrases (I). Relating to prosodic utterances, the duration lengthening at the end of the constituent, in musical level, reaches both stressed and unstressed syllables, revealing itself as a trustworthy index for the identification of U’s final boundary and, therefore, of its segmentation.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Cadernos de Linguística}, author={Massini-Cagliari, Gladis}, year={2021}, month={May}, pages={e323} }
