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

/naItreIt/ - 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.
