This nuclear configuration is phonetically realized as a rise during the last accented syllable followed by a mid level plateau (the mid tone spreads to the left). In vocatives, the last syllable is lengthened.
It is found in pedagogic enumerations, hesitation statements and stylized vocatives.
Example: Pedagogic enumeration
Ve en Joan... i després la Bàrbara...
[Joan comes... and then Bàrbara...]
Example: Insistent vocative
Maria!
Maria!
