 | | As such feedback discrepancies detract from the educational value of the program, the developers have committed themselves to correcting these errors in the next version of the program. | | | The program could easily be integrated into a classroom, where learners could complete the exercises together and discuss them with each other and the teacher, or in an independent learning context, provided that learners have an opportunity to discuss any questions or doubts with the teacher. | | | But this is not necessarily a weakness, as the program is designed for both independent learning and classroom situations and is therefore to be considered a complete, intact, instructional tool. |

| | Further, the heretofore limited interest in suprasegmentals as an independent system within a language’s phonology has resulted in studies of segmental acquisition which do not necessarily consider the influence of suprasegmental features. | | | Research on the development path of first language acquisition indicates that infants are sensitive to suprasegmental properties of language, such as rhythm and intonation, long before they are responsive to segmental ones. | | | A look at first language acquisition suggests that suprasegmental phonology begins developing earlier than segmental phonology in the development of first language (L1) competence. |

| | A useful feature of this software is a ready-made diagnostic tool that allows users to enter their native language so that the programme highlights problem areas for speakers of that language. | | | Users would need other resources to supplement their practice of these suprasegmental language features. | | | This CD ROM offers over 5,000 examples to practice from so users will not easily tire of repeated practice with this software. |

| | We now have the domain over which we can consider suprasegmentals: stretches of speech within which the syllable is the important unit. | | | In physical terms we are concerned with, for example, how many syllables occur in each second, or how many milliseconds (ms) are spent on each syllable. | | | These terms are phonological (rather than phonetic), and therefore refer more to cognitive than physical processing. |

| | Structure of speech |
| | Suprasegmental means "above the segments" that is, above the level of structure in a sentence — they are not features of the grammar, but may help convey semantic information (such as distinguishing a statement from a question, when the syntax is in a declarative form). | | | — implication, irony and ambiguity can be signalled in speech by body language, facial expression, gesture and suprasegmental features. | | | — suprasegmental features of speech give information akin or comparable to that signalled by punctuation in written texts. |

| | Because suprasegmentals carry more meaning and are harder to learn, they require more focused, structured attention and more practice than the segmentals (Hall 1997, Celce-Murcia, Brinton, and Goodwin 1996). | | | This is true for both the segmental features and the suprasegmental elements. | | | Although rules for suprasegmental use exist, these rules are broader and have much more variation than is involved in learning articulation of the individual sounds. |

| | Other researchers have highlighted suprasegmental features as more valuable for achieving intelligibility than segmental features. | | | The course design was based on the view that training in suprasegmental features may be more valuable than work on individual sounds or phonemes for accurate perception and production of the target language, even at the segmental level. | | | While focusing on suprasegmental features helped them understand native speaker accents, students did not find these features particularly useful for their own pronunciation. |

| | Suprasegmental aspects in automatic voice conversion |
| | We suggest to do this investigation on a suprasegmental level, and not by applying a smooth vector field in the spectral space as has been tried several times in the past. | | | This kind of imitation is able to modify arbitrary utterances of a (source) speaker such that they sound like another speaker, the target speaker, has spoken them. | | | So, we will try to achieve voice imitation following two paths at the same time: conversion of co-articulation and conversion of intonation. |

| | Although the suprasegmental features are sometimes called the 'unteachables', Laroy (1995) suggests that they are not 'unlearnable'. | | | The suprasegmental features are those which operate over longer stretches of speech, such as, stress, rhythm, intonation, pitch, and voice quality as opposed to the segmental features which are referred to as the individual sounds. | | | By beginning with the overall voice setting or voice quality of English and engaging the learner in activities which raise his or her awareness to the way the language sounds, (perhaps by comparing it with other languages), is in line with a holistic, "top-down" approach. |
