5
The new quiver, the new shudder, the utter terror, and the utter love appear in mediaeval rhymed accentual poetry:
6
The proportional intensive values of the successive reactions for the series of possible accentual positions are given in the following table:
7
Also, every variation from the type indicates a point of accentual stress; the syncopated measure, for instance, is always strongly accented.
8
Its accentual life is usually manifested on an unaccented part of the bar, especially at the end of a section or phrase.
9
The contribution of the several intervals according to position in the series and irrespective of accentual stress is given in the table following.
10
The presence of a tendency toward initial accentuation appears when the average intensities of the four reactions are considered irrespective of accentual position.
11
The values of the three elements when considered irrespective of accentual stress are as follows: First, 1.000; second, 1.001; third, 0.995.
