在前面部分,我們提到了區別性特徵,如/士voiced/,/士nasal/等,
which are used to distinguish one phoneme from another and thus have effect on one sound segment.

The distinctive (phonological) features which apply to groups larger than the single segment such as a syllable, a word, or a sentence, are known as suprasegmental features.
區別性(音位的)特徵適用於大於單個音段的組,如一個音節,一個詞,或一個句子,被稱為超音段特徵(超切分特徵)。
The study of these features is known as prosody.
對這些特徵的研究稱為韻律語言特徵。
