Definition

Stray adjunction is a universal convention by which extrametrical units are incorporated into the representation of stress. By convention the extrametrical unit is weak.

Example

In English the final syllable of a noun is extrametrical. After foot construction and word tree construction, the extrametrical syllable is incorporated into the adjacent foot as a weak member by stray adjunction.
