Table 1.

Examples of the four possible categories of LBEs, based on type (insertion or deletion) and location (before strong or weak syllables). The bolded text [insertions before strong (IS) and deletions before weak (DW)] are the categories predicted by the metrical segmentation strategy hypothesis (Cutler and Butterfield, 1992).

LBE	Before a strong syllable	Before a weak syllable
Insertion	Target: “account for who could knock”	“its harmful note abounds”
	Response: “he got so he could knock”	“its hard to know abounds”
Deletion	Target: “and spoke behind her sin”	“push her equal culture”
	Response: “and spoke behind person”	“pressure equal culture”
