This is a contribution to a widened insight in acoustical correlates of prominence, largely based on studies of prose reading. A novelty is the establishment of a continuously scaled perceptually determined prominence parameter as a supplement to discrete phonological categories of stress and accentuation. The acoustical analysis is supplemented by continuous records of suband supraglottal pressures. Two intensity measures and a new parameter representing spectral tilt are introduced. Results from linear regression analysis are discussed with possible references to production constraints.
