JUNCTUREBY GROUP 5

JUNCTURE

JUNCTURE – a pause or a slight delay in a continuous flow of speech. Sound transitions characterize the movement from sound to sound within a word or a phrase.

JUNCTURE

CLASSIFICATION:

• Close Juncture – is movement from sound to sound which has no intervening pauses or delay.

• Open Juncture – is movement which is not continuous. There is a slight stoppage of the last sound till it blends with the next.
