By characterizing Brazilian Portuguese acoustic duration, this work presents two arguments in favor of macrorhythmic units. First, the emergence of distinct durational patterns for lexical and phrasal accents. Second, the homogeneous lengthening (shortening) effect of segments correlating syllables at lexical stress and IPCGs at phrasal accent. A two-stage model of segmental duration generation was derived.
