the way to cat it (long /e_I/, rhythmic group /_{ðə weI tə kʌt It});

/hau stre_Ind/ - how strained (long /au/, strong /s/, little devoicing of /r/); house trained (reduced /au/, weaker /s/, devoiced /r/).

Similarly, simple word entities may be distinguished from words composed of separable morphemes;

/ha_In_Is/ - highness (/a_I/ and /n/ in close juncture, rhythmical shortening of

/a_I/);

high-ness (/a_I/ and /n/ in open juncture, full length of /a_I/);

/na_Itre_It/ - night-rate (/t/ and /r/ in open juncture of relationship, little devoicing of

/r/);

nightrate (/t/ and /r/ close juncture, devoiced /r/).

The given examples illustrate the phonological status of junctures in modern English. In defining junctures it is necessary to take into consideration the stages of transition between the sound sequences and establish the combinatory changes taken place in the syllabic boundary at the junction of words and morphemes.
