In longer phonological words, such as verb and noun phrases, a high tone tends to persist until the final syllable; if that syllable has a phonemic low tone, it becomes falling ( high low ).

Match Theory states that clauses ( CP and IP / TP ) with illocutionary force correspond to intonational phrases ( i ), XPs correspond to phonological phrases ( ? ), and Xp s correspond to phonological words ( ? ).

Because prepositions in Russian act like clitics, the syntactic phrase composed of a preposition ( most notably, the three that consist of just a single consonant : 2 ) and a following word constitutes a phonological word that acts like a single grammatical word.

The Sotho language is spoken conjunctively yet written disjunctively ( that is, the spoken phonological words are not the same as the written orthographical words ) . This is a common situation in many ( written ) Bantu languages, as their orthographies were invented by Europeans who spoke isolating languages.
25.
The verb " esti " ('to be') behaves similarly, as can be seen by the occasional elision of the " e " in poetry or rapid speech : " Mi ne stas i tie ! " ('I'm not here !') Phonological words do not necessarily match orthographic words.

A syntactic unit of an idiolect system is a sequence of syntactic base forms . ( Again, unit sequences, but not the empty sequence, are allowed as a limiting case of syntactic units, that is, a syntactic unit may contain a single syntactic base form . ) In a system of a spoken idiolect, the syntactic base forms are precisely the phonological words occurring in the phonological part of the system ( analogously, for systems of written and signed idiolects ).

Phonological words and morphs ( on the phonological level ) as well as phonetic words ( on the phonetic level ) are construed as'structured sound sequences,'that is, ordered pairs consisting of ( 1 ) a phonetic or phonological sound sequence ( called the'basis'of the morph or word ) and ( 2 ) a phonetic or phonological structure of the sound sequence itself a pair of ( 2a ) a tone languages are then treated in a unified way : differences of tone or stress are represented through sets of auditory values directly within a specific component of a phonological word, namely, the phonological intonation structure, which is properly linked to the ( syntactic ) intonation structures of syntactic units in which the phonological word occurs; and tone languages differ from accent languages mainly in the way phonological intonation structures are'processed'in syntactic intonation structures.

It is an essential feature of Integrational Syntax that a clear distinction is made between lexical words and forms of lexical words ( called'syntactic word forms'or simply'syntactic words') : every lexical word is an ordered pair consisting of a syntactic paradigm or'word paradigm'( the form component of the word ) and a concept that is a meaning of the paradigm ( the meaning component of the word ); a syntactic paradigm is a ( non-empty ) set of pairs, each consisting of a syntactic word form and a'categorization'of the word form, that is, a set of syntactic categories such that the word form is an element of each category in the set; and any syntactic word form is also a syntactic unit, hence, a sequence ( possibly, a unit sequence ) of syntactic base forms ( phonological words in the case of spoken idiolects ).
