Speech rhythma) stress timed - intervals between
stresses or rhythmic feet are said to
be near equal length.b) syllable-timed - successive syllables

Syllable-timed languages In most languages, the more syllables
there are, the longer it takes to say
something. Each syllable is more or less the same
length as other syllables.
Example:Hindi ako magnankaw.
`I am not a thief.

Precategoriality in Philippine-
type languagesa) Roots - any form to which an affix
may be added (e.g. bahay)
b) Affixes - dependent forms (e.g. -in)c) Particles - forms to which you cannot
add an affix (e.g. daw, pala, diay)
You can only know the parts of speechmembership of a form when you use itin speech or add an affix
