In phonetics and phonology, prosody is the study of the role of acoustic and perceptual parameters such as fundamental frequency (F0), intensity, duration, rhythm, loudness, pitch, and tempo. The term prosody is often used as a synonym for suprasegmentals, although its meaning is narrower: it only refers to the features mentioned above.
