Etymology

edit

From Latin pausa (“break”), from Ancient Greek παῦσις (paûsis). Doublet of pause.

Noun

edit

pausa (uncountable)

  1. (linguistics, phonology) The hiatus between prosodic units, e.g. at the end of a sentence.
    • 1954, Johannes Hendrik Kramers, Analecta orientalia: posthumous writings and selected minor works:
      The rule is that in the pausa a word must never end on a short vowel, but it may do so in the context.
    • 1998, Pádraig MacCoisdealbha, The Syntax of the Sentence in Old Irish, →ISBN:
      Besides, the pausa endposition may have served to highlight the informational value of the substituendum.
    • 2004, Gerhard Endress, Rüdiger Arnzen, Jörn Thielmann, Words, Texts, and Concepts Cruising the Mediterranean Sea, →ISBN:
      In pausa you say 'ih, in the jussive la- ta'ih, analogous to 'ih, la- ta'ih. And since t' is complete as two letters, the tongue utters both of them in the pausa.
    • 2005, Éva Ágnes Csató, Bo Isaksson, Carina Jahani, Linguistic Convergence and Areal Diffusion: Case Studies from Iranian, page 245:
      For instance, the perfect in -miš (> -mi before pausa) always has the high unrounded vowel, the abstract noun suffix appears in a single variant +luġ, the infinitive is -maġ and the instrumental +ine.
