đWhat is the difference between Suprasegmental Phonology and segmental phonology?
I wrote donw this, because I read a text, but don't really understand it...
Segmental phonology:
Ă has to do with the individual sounds of the language (phonemes)
Ă and the differences in conceptual or semantic meaning (buck, duck: both are animals but very different). The words denoting the creatures are identical except for the phonemes /b/ and /d/
Suprasegmental phonology:
Ă has to do with the contrasts
Ă They are concerned (beteiligt) with differences in: stress, rhythm, intonation
Ă These differences attitudinal (einstellungsbezogenes) meaning
Ă The suprasegmental features of language involve those phenomena that extend over one sound segment
