Bulgarian prosody

[Loren A. BILLINGS]

Dear colleagues,

Would any of you know tests to determine which stressed word is the
prosodic host of the clitics (_s^am_, _mu_, _go_) in the following
examples?  That is, are these particles prosodic proclitics or prosodic
enclitics?  (I know that such elements need to be next to the verb
syntactically; I need their prosodic properties.)

a. BJAX mu go DAL
b. BIX mu go DAL
c. BE^se mu go DAla
d. ne BI mu go DAla
e. BIL s^am mu KAzal

[from Hauge's _Word order of predicate clitics in Bulgarian, Oslo, 1976,
pp. 38-39; stressed syllables indicated with ALL-CAPS, transliteration
modified/LAB]

What I'm looking for is phonetic evidence (akin to the three-level
vowel-reduction facts of Russian, for example).

Please reply to me (billings at rz.uni-leipzig.de) and I'll post a summary.

Thanks in advance,  --Loren Billings
