Verb plus adverbial particle

A phrasal verb consists of a verb plus a particle, which may be an adverb (away, back, together) or a preposition that can also function as an adverb (by, down, on, up). The general rule is that phrasal verbs are lexically double stress, with the primary stress going on the particle. Thus, ,stand 'up has the same stress pattern as ,un'known or ,quite 'good. If the nucleus comes on a phrasal verb, the word on which this nucleus is located is therefore typically the particle.
