Between the phonemic level (i.e. the set of phonemes used in a language) and the lexical level (i.e. single lexical entries belonging to the lexicon of the language) we find two prosodic constituents: the syllable (PHONOLOGY 2.1.1) and the foot (PHONOLOGY 2.1.2). Therefore, the prosodic hierarchy included in this (sub-)lexical level is the following: (phonemic level) - - - syllable - - - foot - - - (lexical level).
