概要 In the Segami dialect of Japanese, long vowels are phonologically opposed to short ones. The long vowels, however, are not opposed to short ones only in the penultimate syllables of words ending with the light syllable [CV[+high]]. The indistinctively long vowels are special phonetic realizations of vowel phonemes through the vowel lengthening which occurs only in the phoneme sequence {(C1)V1.C2V[+high]2}. This vowel lengthening makes a clear tonal distinction by forming the phoneme sequence into the heavy-light syllable sequence [(C1)Vː1.C2V2], suitable to show changes in pitch.
