the second instances an emphatic L+^H% PA takes place where the L may be undershot (see example 4). (3)L+H*L+^H*L+H*L+^H*L+H*L+H*L+^H*L% Y alotro diaka vuelta otro bastanteta llevashpa, escondidito mio mamamanta llevashpa inkarkachi. "And on the following day, we would go bringing another bunch [of beans] hidden from my mom." (4)L+H*L+H*L+^H*L+H*L-H*H*H% Diaymanta wachu wachu buscashka dezin uno cañata. "So, they say she looked all over the plot of land, for a stick that is." Stewart (2015) also describes instances of intermediate boundaries appearing as a single low tone (L-). These are often observed in standard content questions (wh-questions) following the utterance-initial question constituent or in some cases after words containing an emphatic PA (see example 5). There is also evidence of intermediate boundary tones in the form of pitch restart which take place in listing intonation just before the listing of items begins. (5)L+H*L-L% Quienpatak ese pelota? "Whose ball is that?" The intonational phrase in Media Lengua (the highest level unit within the autosegmental-metrical framework ) is marked by a low boundary tone (L%) at the end of nearly every utterance (see examples 1, 2, 3, and 5). An exception to the configuration can be found in what Stewart (2015) refers to as clarifying utterances, which are marked with a high boundary tone (H%) (see example 4). Clarifying utterances in Media Lengua are used in three typical scenarios: (1) to clarify that a topic within a conversation is shared by those speaking, (2) to provide information which was accidentally left out of the main clause, and (3) provide the listener with additional information. Morphology Media Lengua, like Kichwa, is a highly agglutinative language. Its normal sentence order is SOV (subject–object–verb). There are a large number of suffix changes both in the overall significance of words and their meanings. Of the 63 particles in Kichwa, Imbabura Media Lengua makes use of 49; an estimated 80% of the original Kichwa morphemes. The derivation and infectional particles appear to be in complete functioning order in the same way they are found in Ecuadorian Kichwa.
