罗马字母的细微部分可以细分为有长度的字素(例如)和没有长度的字素(例如)。与有长度的字素对应的塞音出现在音节的边缘，而与没有长度的字素对应的元音构成音节的核心。基于这些观察，建立了长度层次结构，其中特征长度变为标量。这种层次结构只在图形基础上运行，因此与音位特性无关。同样，作为字形音节的排序原则的长度排序原则可以类似于音位音调排序原则来表述。长度排序原则可以被认为是一种类型学特征，以进一步描述基于罗马字母的不同图形系统。将讨论来自德语和英语的数据。关键词：字形音节；字形；长度排序原则；长度层次；字母形状；声音
Minuscules of the Roman alphabet can be subcategorized into graphemes with length (for example ) and graphemes without length (for example ). While plosives, which correspond to graphemes with length, occur at the syllable edge, vowels, corresponding to graphemes without length, constitute the syllable core. Based on these observations, a length hierarchy is established in which the feature ‘length’ becomes scalar. This hierarchy operates on graphematic grounds exclusively, thus being independent of phonological properties. Still a length sequencing principle as the ordering principle of the graphematic syllable can be formulated analogous to the phonological sonority sequencing principle. The length sequencing principle may be considered a typological feature to serve further descriptions of different graphematic systems based on the Roman alphabet. Data from German and English will be discussed.Keywords:graphematic syllable; graphotactics; length sequencing principle; length hierarchy; letter shape; sonority
