Explain the term"suprasegmental"?

Answer»

In linguistics, suprasegmentals are contrastive elements of speech that cannot be easily analyzed as distinct segments but rather belong to a SYLLABLE or word. These elements INCLUDE INTONATION, stress and juncture. In some LANGUAGES nasality and vowel harmony are considered suprasegmental or prosodic by some phonologists.[1]
