Or to put it otherwise 'segments' are just the wave-tops in the stream, corresponding to when the speech-organs are closest to their target positions, separated by throughs/transitions which actually take up most of the stream. The discreetness between segments which we think we perceive are a product of the analysis of the sound stream which our brain performs before the perceived signal even reaches our consciousness. /BP 8^)> -- Benct Philip Jonsson -- melroch atte melroch dotte se ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "C'est en vain que nos Josués littéraires crient à la langue de s'arrêter; les langues ni le soleil ne s'arrêtent plus.
