in the consonate sound the air passage (nasal or mouth) is so narrowed by articulators. in the production of a vowel sound, there is an unresitricted passage for the manner of air flow through the mouth. A semivowel is produced like a vowel with no audible friction, or stoppage of air flow, but semivowels generally are utilized as consonates, that is, they are never the center of the syllable.

• -Pitch
• -Stress
• -Terminal Contours
• -Plus Juncture

Stess markings in a word indicate which syllables are heavily emphasized, which are equal in emphasis, which are lesser emphasized and those tha are not emphasized at all.
