Length Sometimes syllable length is also counted as a suprasegmental feature; for example, in some Germanic languages, long vowels may only exist with short consonants and vice versa. However, syllables can be analyzed as compositions of long and short phonemes, as in Finnish and Japanese, where consonant gemination and vowel length are independent. Intonation Pattern of rises and falls in pitch across a stretch of speech such as a sentence. The meaning can depend in part on the sentence’s intonation contour. For example: “You got an A on the test” You can make this sentence sound like a statement or a question.
