Duration<br />
Duration<br />
Like pitch, duration is used as a suprasegmental property. In languages<br />
like English and Polish, it is used to mark stress.<br />
Duration can be used for segmental contrasts (singletons-geminates).<br />
Yet, even in languages with contrastive length, duration may be used<br />
to indicate stress.<br />
Other things, apart from stress, also influence vowel length, like word<br />
size or consonant voicing.<br />
