Answer:Both syllbal and phoneme are from linear
phonology, as in late twenty century, there is an
nonlinear phonology. J.R.Firth gave an new unit of
sound 'one articulation type'. The idea of both
consonant and vowel being regarded as oral motions in
series was wrong one. It was cheated by letters
created by human being, in fact, when you say 'be' you
can separate 'b' from 'e' . They were uttered
togather.
We say that's a phonetic type or one action of mouth.
