语音单位在语流中有前后的顺序, 它们的组合呈线形的, 称线性组合。
据线性组合的先后顺序切分出来的语音单位, 各占一定的时间段落, 所以也称音段。
语流中最小的音段是音位, 因此音位也称音段音位( segmental phonemes ), 即元音(vowels)和辅音(consonants)。
但是在实际语流中, 语音成素还有一种非线性的共时组合。当音位前后连缀组合成较大的音段时, 往往具有原来所没有的某种语音成素作为它的特征及组成部分。这种较大音段所具有的语音成素超越了原来的较小音段的线性组合, 因而具有超音段的性质。因此我们在这里要研究超音段特征。

Maximal onset principle
When there is a choice as to where to place a consonant, it is put into the onset rather than the coda.
