👉 In phonetics, a parasubphonate is a phoneme that has both a base phoneme and an accent phoneme. A base phoneme is a consonant sound (like "b", "d", or "f") that is not stressed; an accent phoneme is the second sound in the syllable after the base phoneme, which can be stressed or unstressed. For example, in the word "pear," the base phonemes are "p" and "r"
