In phonetics and phonology, gemination (), or consonant lengthening, is an articulation of a consonant for a longer period of time than that of a single instance of the same type of consonant. It is distinct from stress and may appear independently of it. Gemination literally means "twinning" and comes from the same Latin root as "Gemini". * Consonant length is distinctive in some languages, like Arabic, Berber, Maltese, Catalan, Danish, Estonian, Finnish, Classical Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil and Telugu. Most languages (including English) do not have distinctive long consonants, however.Vowel length is distinctive in more languages than consonant length is. Several languages, like Arabic, Japanese, Finnish and Estonian, feature both independently, however; others, like Italian, Norwegian and Swedish, have interdependent vowel and consonant length. |
