* 'pause-before', 'pause-after', and 'pause' The keyword values have now been added, indicating the prosodic strength of a pause. I do not think the prosodic strength can be really measured in the pauses: it is actually measured in the tone inflections of the voice before and after the actual pause. A long pause can be 'strong' or 'weak', and the real prosodic strength is given by how the last word before the pause is spoken. I would see a neutral approach of 'x-short', 'short', 'medium', 'long' and 'x-long' more appropriate. The problem of defining pause as being inserted "between the element's content and any 'cue-before' or 'cue-after' content" will be dealt with in a separate mail about an aural box model. -- [Quote] "He is old". But she is wrong. It is not age; it is that a drop has fallen; another drop. ~~~ Virginia WoolfReceived on Wednesday, 28 July 2004 07:48:54 GMT
