Geminate
叠音
A term used in phonetics and phonology for a sequence of identical adjacent segments of a sound in a single morpheme. The special behavior of geminates has been a particular focus in some approaches to non-linear phonology, as part of the discussion of the way in which quantitative phenomena should be presented.
语音学和音系学术语,指一个语素内两个相同邻接音段构成的序列。叠音的特殊表现是一些非线性音系学理论特别关注的问题,属于音量现象呈递方式讨论的一部分。
