Some of the model parameters are the prosodic strengths of syllables and words.   These strengths make linguistic sense, and they show the structure of the utterances.   Strengths are uniformly higher at the beginning of things, and lower at the end, in two different languages.     The consistency across languages shows the reality of the strengths.
