The segmental elements of speech are the individual phonemes of the language. The suprasegmentals are those features that apply to a sequence of phonemes, such as syllables, words or sentences. The most important suprasegmental properties of speech are pitch (intonation), stress, loudness, speech rate, and voice quality (e.g. whisper, breathy voice etc.).
