The aim of this paper is to present the results of a study on duration and energy indices in a context, of text readings with tasks. This study is not traditional because the data are not analyzed in the respect, of the prosodic organization of all the linguistic units which compose the phrases. In fact the study is based on the deep relative organization of duration and energy values of the lexical items (internal and external relationships) at different phrase levels. On the whole the study takes into account 10 indices.
