This paper provides a comparison of two approaches to English rhythmic adjustment, stress clash-based metrical approaches and intonation-based approaches. It argues that clash-based analyses be better ones seeing that their key notion of stress clash is consistently needed to give adequate accounts to the rhythmic adjustment of both the phonological phrase and the intonational phrase. However, it is also proposed that metrical analyses of rhythmic adjustment be replaced by a constraint-based one since the latter makes it possible to relate both the factors of rhythmic adjustment, rhythm and phrasing factors, through constraint interaction.
