  (8a)   Man vill annama nåra längre NUMMER Audio
  (8a) Ditto, with F0 manipulation so as to produce a slight peak on the second syllable of längre, which was absent in the original recording Audio
  (8b)   Man vill lämna nåra långa NUNNOR Audio
  (9a) The speaker would appear to use Accent 2 in pre-final focused words, regardless of lexical category; this may represent  one of the developments that the Stockholm dialect underwent relative the variety described in Bruce (1977).

  (11a)   LÅNGANUMMER Audio
  (11b)   långa NUMMER Audio
  (13a)   Teaterexperiment 81 Audio
  (13a) Ditto, with F0 manipulation so as to produce a  peak on the first syllable of åtta , in line with the description. The peak due to leading H of Accent 1 no longer appears to be reliably present in more recent varieties of Stockholm Swedish. Audio
  (13b)   Britta skulle vilja ha 81 Audio
  (16a)   Strandvegen ('Strand Road') Audio
  (16b)   Strandvegen ('Beach Road') Audio
  (19a,b)   måle - male Audio
  (20a,b)   måle? - male? Audio
  (21a)   Jeg tror jeg finner et sted å sove Audio
  (21b)   Jeg tror jeg FINNER et sted å sove Audio
  (22a)   Jag sa inte PRYNsessor, utan PRINsessor

Instead of a late rise in the stressed syllable, there is an early rise, with the peak occurring one-third of the distance into the vowel. This may be the same phenomenon as the early focus contour the speaker uses in (9a).
