  2. Sonority sequencing principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonority_Sequencing_Principle

    The SSP states that the syllable nucleus (syllable center), often a vowel, constitutes a sonority peak that is preceded and/or followed by a sequence of segments – consonants – with progressively decreasing sonority values (i.e., the sonority has to fall toward both edges of the syllable).

  3. Sonority hierarchy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonority_hierarchy

    For instance, the sequence /plant/ is permissible in many languages, while /lpatn/ is much less likely. (This is the sonority sequencing principle ). This rule is applied with varying levels of strictness cross-linguistically, with many languages allowing exceptions: for example, in English, /s/ can be found external to stops even though it is ...

  4. Phonotactics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonotactics

    Sonority is a measure of the amplitude of a speech sound. The particular ranking of each speech sound by sonority, called the sonority hierarchy , is language-specific, but, in its broad lines, hardly varies from a language to another, [ 7 ] which means all languages form their syllables in approximately the same way with regards to sonority.

  5. Consonant cluster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consonant_cluster

    In linguistics, a consonant cluster, consonant sequence or consonant compound, is a group of consonants which have no intervening vowel. In English, for example, the groups /spl/ and /ts/ are consonant clusters in the word splits. In the education field it is variously called a consonant cluster or a consonant blend. [1] [2]

  6. Sonorant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonorant

    In the sonority hierarchy, all sounds higher than fricatives are sonorants. They can therefore form the nucleus of a syllable in languages that place that distinction at that level of sonority; see Syllable for details. Sonorants contrast with obstruents, which do stop or cause turbulence in the airflow.

    In the infant, many fibrous components were seen to extend from the macula flava towards the Reinke's space. Fibronectin is very abundant in the Reinke's space of newborn and infant. Fibronectin is a glycoprotein that is believed to act as a template for the oriented deposition of the collagen fibers, stabilizing the collagen fibrils.

    A false sequence is a literal repetition of the beginning of a figure and stating the rest in sequence: [1] J.S. Bach Prelude from Cello Suite in G J.S. Bach Prelude from Cello Suite in G, BWV 1007 A modulating sequence is a sequence that leads from one tonal center to the next, with each segment technically being in a different key in some ...

    Spectrogram of the first second of an E9 suspended chord played on a Fender Stratocaster guitar. Below is the E9 suspended chord audio: In music, timbre (/ ˈ t æ m b ər, ˈ t ɪ m-, ˈ t æ̃-/), also known as tone color or tone quality (from psychoacoustics), is the perceived sound quality of a musical note, sound or tone.
