Segmental vs Suprasegmental

Segmental vs Suprasegmental

1. Word stress

   • word emphasis
   • sentence emphasis
   • For example:/ ˈpɜ: mɪt / y / pəˈmɪt /
   • There are two very important rules about word stress:
     • One word, one stress.
     • The stress is always on a vowel.
   • photograph, photographer and photographic

2. Intonation

   • vibration of the vocal cords
   • Effects can be attitudinal
     • descending intonation contour
     • ascending contour conveys an interrogative character.
   • function
     • transmit incompleteness (rising or level pitch),
     • opposed to purpose (descending tone)

3. Prosodic feature

   • Suprasegmentals are so named in contrast to consonants and vowels.
   • Phonetics
   • accent
     • volume increase
     • vowel length
     • complete articulation of the vowel and changes in pitch.
   • The tone or the union of words that accompanies or is added over consonants and vowels.

4. Linguistics

   • prosodic phonology
   • morphology
   • sign language
   • Articulatory signs
     • visuals
       • Like prosody (tone, stress)
     • acoustic
       • articulaciones secundarias como la nasalización
   • Marginal segments
     • onomatopoeic words
     • Borrowed words or a very limited number of ordinary words.
