 As you know, vowels and consonants are the basic segments of speech. Together, they form syllables, larger units and eventually utterances. Superimposed on the segments are a number of additional features. They do not characterize a single segment but a succession of segments. These suprasegmental features and their phonetic groundings are presented in this unit. In the virtual session, we will discuss the central aspects of suprasegmental phonetics. Loudness, pitch and length. Use the question sheet with its hyperlinks and its video links if you need guidance. The mastery worksheet is a dynamic multiple choice test with 10 questions about suprasegmental features. You shouldn't find it difficult after the virtual session. And the practical is basically an ear training exercise where you have to identify tone contours and word stresses in languages such as Japanese and Chinese. I think this is a highlight, isn't it? So all in all, I'm sure you'll like this unit, despite many terms and concepts which may be unfamiliar to you at first sight.
