Japanese may refer to:
It takes more than vowels and consonants to speak a tonal language. You need musical pieces called "tonemes" to make meaning. Here's how tones work. This animated video tours the linguistics of tonality - how some languages pay attention to changes in pitch. Learn the basics of tonemes. Think about the difference between register tones and contour tones. Meet some singsongy examples, including the dreaded six tones of Cantonese!

Learn to use the International Phonetic Alphabet in a way that helps you accurately pronounce other languages. In this fourth & final lesson I introduce concepts that make sense of longer streams of speech (utterances). Phonemes are conceptual speech sounds, like the sound /n/. Allophones are different ways a single phoneme shows up in actual speech. The phoneme /n/ has the allophone [n] in 'lane' [lejn] but the allophone [ŋ] in 'language' [lejŋgwɪdʒ]. Accentuation impacts vowels in a syllable. Stress accent changes the volume level. For instance, the second syllable of 'hotel' is louder than the first. Pitch accent changes the tone, as in music. For example, the second syllable of the Ancient Greek word αὐτός (au-tós) has a high pitch, while the first syllable has a lower pitch. Prosod...

C'est une flûte qui relie les prochains mondial et le monde avec une profondeur-même atmosphère mystérieuse. Japanese traditional peculiarity flute "NOU-KAN" The prosody of this flute is not intentionally constant. Because this flute is musical instruments from which it specializes in the expression of not the melody but atmosphere. It is said that the sense of Japan will have been condensed to this one flute.

How do different languages play with pitch to create differences in meaning? How do we tell where stress falls? In this week's episode, we look at stress and foot structure: how languages use tone, pitch, and stress; how we can build different kinds of feet; and how where we place our stress can change the way we emphasize our sounds.
