Broader concept
Example
- Hiragana are basic Japanese phonograms representing syllables. (Kashioka, Kawata, Kinjo, Finch & Black, 1998)
- In general some scholars accept the syllable as a unit in standard Japanese mainly for the following reasons: if the syllable is defined as the accentbearing unit some cases of accent assignment for loanwords or nonsense words can be accounted for in a very general way (McCawley 1968). (Inaba, 1998)
- Syllables are neither the basic timing units nor parsable units on which feet are built. (Inaba, 1998)
- There is no reason for syllables to interpose between moras and feet. (Inaba, 1998)
- Thus a light syllable is defined as consisting of one mora and a heavy syllable as consisting of two moras. (Inaba, 1998)
