The analysis presented here rests on the fact that two independent breakdowns of the flow of speech into elements are physically and logically possible. One is the division of the flow of speech into successive segments; this is used throughout phonology and morphology, and gives us the standard elements allophones or positional variants; phonemes; morphemes; words; phrases of descriptive linguistics. The other is the division of each segment into simultaneous components, as when the single sound [รก] (high-pitched loud-stressed low mid vowel) is said to be the resultant of three components: high pitch, loud stress, and low-mid vowel articulation. It is this type of breakdown, only little used in phonemics today, that is investigated here.
