Juncture is the transition or pause between the release of one phoneme
and the onset of the following phoneme in the language. In a careful
speech there is some pause between the words in a sentence as well as
between sentences. Duration of pause is distinct to mark the word, phrase
and sentence boundaries. Juncture is also found within the word such as
syllabic juncture but this transition is considered negligible. Syllabic
juncture marks the syllabic boundary. Besides
internal juncture (within a word), word juncture (marking word
boundary) phrase and junctures are described below.
|
|
Internal juncture is a transition for a longer period than taken for
the syllabic juncture and is for a shorter duration than word juncture.
Internal juncture is marked by hyphen/-/. This juncture mostly denotes the
formation of words as it occurs at the morphemic boundary between the stem
and the suffix or other derivative. This juncture is also found mostly in
compound words.
|
|
Internal juncture contrasts with its absence within a word.
