How to use SONANT in a sentence

• The sonant and the interval of each element were measured, and all the pauses except the stanza pause were recorded.
• Although the sonant is much longer when accented, the ratio between the sonant and the following interval is not definite.
• One, for example, gets the accent by a slight increase in intensity, but especially by a pause following the sonant.
• Special accentuation of the long syllable of the foot increases the length of the sonant, of the accented element, and of the entire foot.
• It will of course use the widest variation possible in the matter of accents, lags, dynamic forms, and lengths of sonant and element depending on emphasis.
