Definition of suprasegmental- English phonetics
In speech, suprasegmental refers to a phonological property of more than one sound segment. Also called nonsegmental.
As discussed in Examples and Observations below, suprasegmental information applies to several different linguistic phenomena (such as pitch, duration, and loudness). Suprasegmentals are often regarded as the "musical" aspects of speech.
The term suprasegmental (referring to functions that are "over" vowels and consonants) was coined by American structuralists in the 1940s.
Examples and Observations
"The effect of suprasegmentals is easy to illustrate. In talking to a cat, a dog or a baby, you may adopt a particular set of suprasegmentals. Often, when doing this, people adopt a different voice quality, with high pitch register, and protrude their lips and adopt a tongue posture where the tongue body is high and front in the mouth, making the speech sound 'softer.'
"Suprasegmentals are important for marking all kinds of meanings, in particular speakers' attitudes or stances to what they are saying (or the person they are saying it to), and in marking out how one utterance relates to another (e.g. a continuation or a disjunction). Both the forms and functions of suprasegmentals are less tangible than those of consonants and vowels, and they often do not form discrete categories."
