Open juncture is generally equivalent to the 'break' occurring between words. - Nida (1949), a pag.85 The difference between 'night-rate' and 'nitrate' is that 'night-' and '-rate' have open junctural phonemes. Such a juncture phoneme does not belong to the form 'nit-' in 'nitrate'. - Nida (1949), a pag.86 Open junctures mark certain phonologically and morphologically pertinent points. - Nida (1949), a pag.102 Forms bounded by open junctures may exhibit certain stress characteristics. For example, each such unit in English has at least one primary or secondary stress. - Nida (1949), a pag.102
