Re: [問題] segment
Since you want English, I try my best to explain it again in my broken
English as follows.
The term "segment" means the discrete unites constituting a continual sound
sequence linearly. In other words, segment refers to consonants and vowels
since they are able to be divided within the sound sequence itself. As for
stress, tone and intonation, on the contrary, are in connection with length,
pitch and loudness of speech sound, which are features over and above the sound
sequence, so it is difficult to divide them into discrete unites linearly as
well as directly just the same as segments do, and thus we call them
"suprasegment" so as to represent the opposite concept to segment.
For example, you can segment the word "contrast" into eight sounds─﹝k﹞,
﹝a﹞,﹝n﹞,﹝t﹞,﹝r﹞,﹝ae﹞,﹝s﹞,﹝t﹞, awared of the fact that they are
all consonants and vowels which constitute a continual sound sequence linearly,
and we therefore realize they are segments. On the other hand, however,
"contrast" has two grammatical categories distinguishied by putting an accent
mark over the stressed vowel in the first syllable or the second syllable of
"contrast", and according to the feature of stress is not able to be
segmented individually, it is thus called "suprasegment" differing from
segment.
