Segmental Independence<br />
What can be suprasegmental?<br />
Phonetic properties that are not used to contrast segments, e.g. pitch,<br />
duration, loudness (intensity), phonation type.<br />
Features which are secondary on segments. Many segments are<br />
voiced, so they have a pitch and some phonation type. All segments<br />
have duration and intensity by virtue <strong>of</strong> being sounds.<br />
How languages use these phonetic features depends on both the<br />
prosodic system (stress, accent, tone, register, intonation) and the<br />
language itself.<br />
