tonic syllable造句

• It is associated with weak syllables, which are generally somewhat shorter than tonic syllables.
• A toneless syllable between a high-tone syllable and another tonic syllable assimilates to that high tone.
• In addition, there may be pre-tonic syllables ( clitics ), which take a low tone.
• That analysis gains plausibility from the observation that the neutralizing environment is atonic, but the nuclei are different in tonic syllables.
• Most Matbat words are monosyllabic; additional syllables in polysyllabic words are often weak and toneless, though a few words do have two tonic syllables.
• One might notice further, upon looking around in Spanish, that the nucleus is found only in tonic syllables anywhere, not just in verb forms.
• Samaritan results from the neutralization of the distinction between and in closed post-tonic syllables, e . g . ('house') ('the house').
• According to both Spanish and Portuguese spelling rules, an acute accent in that position shifts the tonic syllable to the last one, whereas in both languages the word is pronounced with the first syllable as the tonic one.
• In Norwegian, the pitch accent is lost from one of the roots in a compound word, but the erstwhile tonic syllable retains the full length ( long vowel or geminate consonant ) of a stressed syllable; this has sometimes been characterized as secondary stress.
• That fits with the commonplace that vowel contrasts are often preserved differently in tonic and atonic environments and that the usual relationship is that there are more contrasts in tonic syllables than in atonic ones ( as previously distinctive vowels had fallen together in the atonic environment ).
• In linguistics, "'intonation "'is variation of spoken tone, in which pitch variation in some languages distinguishes words, either lexically or grammatically . ( The term " tone " is used by some British writers in their descriptions of intonation but to refer to the pitch movement found on the nucleus or tonic syllable in an intonation unit .)
• Halliday saw the functions of intonation as depending on choices in three main variables : " Tonality " ( division of speech into intonation units ), " Tonicity " ( the placement of the tonic syllable or nucleus ) and " Tone " ( choice of nuclear tone ); these terms ( sometimes referred to as " the three T's " ) have been used more recently.
• Serbo-Croatian ), because inherited Balto-Slavic vowel length had previously been shortened in pre-tonic syllables, without a change in vowel quality . ( This caused the phonemicization of the previously automatic quality variations between short and long vowels  e . g . short * o vs . originally long * a . ) When the newly stressed syllable was long, the accent was subsequently shifted leftward again by Iva

• *1 Only in words of foreign origin in the Portuguese language, in words denoting slang, regionalisms and optionally the grapheme " di " and " ti " that are in post-tonic syllables with rising diphthongs ( and never in all locations, depending on local state changes to state where it is spoken dialect ), and phonemes are present in the standard variety of Brazilian Portuguese, are also often in television media to replace the dental stops ( though never in common parlance ).
• In fact, even the givens are uncertain : it is not even possible to tell whether we are dealing with " lengthening " in tonic syllables or " shortening " in atonic ones . ( And in historical fact, both are involved . ) Part of the problem is that English has alternations between diphthongs and monophthongs ( i . e ., between Middle English long and short vowels, respectively ) from no fewer than six different sources, the oldest ( for example " write, written " ) dating all the way back to Proto-Indo-European.
