Duration Duration Like pitch, duration is used as a suprasegmental property. In languages like English and Polish, it is used to mark stress. Duration can be used for segmental contrasts (singletons-geminates). Yet, even in languages with contrastive length, duration may be used to indicate stress. Other things, apart from stress, also influence vowel length, like word size or consonant voicing. DiCanio (DDL) Features 24/3/10 14 / 24
