Citazioni 

Each stretch of speech has some fixed number of segments, or, we may say, a fixed number of unit lengths each of which is occupied by some segment.
- Harris (1951), a pag.43

The number of unit-lengths over which a component extends vary in different environments. E.g. if English ¯ extends over all successive consonants (up to # or vowel), it will occur over one consonant in /zey/ 'say', and over two in /zdey/ 'stay'.
- Harris (1951), a pag.128
