<p>utrecht</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Mora''' is a unit of [[syllable]] [[weight]] in [[moraic theory]]. Moras are the units to which metrical structure may refer.<br /> <br /> === Example ===<br /> <br /> long vowels are often considered to be bimoraic, while short ones are monomoraic. This would explain the difference in behaviour with respect to stress-rules between these two classes of vowels in quantity-sensitive languages (see [[Quantity-(in)sensitivity]]).<br /> <br /> === Links ===<br /> <br /> [http://www2.let.uu.nl/UiL-OTS/Lexicon/zoek.pl?lemma=Mora&amp;lemmacode=560 Utrecht Lexicon of Linguistics]<br /> <br /> === References ===<br /> <br /> * Hyman, L. 1985.
