The following paragraphs attempt to give a partial phonemic analysis of modern standard German. §1 establishes the segmental phonemes that are needed to describe utterances of only one syllable. §2 discusses the role that stress plays in German, describes the effect of stress on the segmental phonemes already established, and adds one new segmental phoneme (ž) which does not occur in monosyllabic utterances. §3 describes the inadequacies of this phonemic analysis, and shows how they may be removed either by giving phonemic status to a number of sounds which are not phonemic in monosyllabic utterances, or by assuming a segmental phoneme of open juncture. §4 gives the reasons why the present writer considers it preferable to assume a phoneme of open juncture. §5 discusses a possible second type of juncture, for which no explanation is offered
