particle. The general rule is that phrasal
verbs are lexically double-stressed, with
the primary stress going on the particle.

If the nucleus comes on a phrasal verb, the
word on which this nucleus is located is
therefore typically the particle.

You there get \up
She’s 'just turned \up
How are you getting \on.
It’s time to get \up, you know.
The plane’s just taken \off.

PHRASAL
VERBS
There is one important case where the nucleus
does not fall on the adverbial particle of a
phrasal verb. This is when the particle has
been separated from the verb: moved to a
position after the object. When this happens,
the object bares the nucleus if it is a content
word.
'Take \off.
'Take your \shoes off.
'Take them\off.
