Document Summary
We"(cid:448)e exa(cid:373)i(cid:374)ed (cid:862)g(cid:863)ra(cid:373)(cid:373)ar or (cid:272)o(cid:374)straints at the level of the word. Structure of sounds in words: phoneme, syllable. Now we move on to the level of the sentence. Spoonerisms- separating the phoneme from the word. Words- can be switched around in a sentence, they are independent. Affixes are not independent like words are. Language are writing systems are related, however they are independent of each other. Phonological phenomena do occur at the sentential level, called sentence prosody. Refers to the tune of a sentence. Prosody can be linguistic, where it is indicative of sentence structure. Sentence prosody is related to sentence syntax, the prosody mirrors the syntax, they are related. Linguistic prosody tells us the meaning of the sentence or the meaning of the word. Stress is an example of linguistic prosody (reject vs. reject, one is n one is v) Prosody can be emotional too (greeaat vs. great. )
