The '''phonological hierarchy''' (from smallerlarger to largersmaller units) is as follows:
 
#Feature
#Segment ([[phoneme]])
#[[Mora (linguistics)|Mora]] ([[μ]]) ("half-syllable")
#[[Syllable]] ([[σ]])
#Foot (F)
#P-word ([[ω]]) (prosodic or phonological word)
#Clitic group
#Phonological phrase (P-phrase)
#Intonational phrase (I-phrase)
#Utterance
#Intonational phrase (I-phrase)
#Phonological phrase (P-phrase)
#Clitic group
#P-word ([[ω]]) (prosodic or phonological word)
#Foot (F)
#[[Syllable]] ([[σ]])
#[[Mora (linguistics)|Mora]] ([[μ]]) ("half-syllable")
#Segment ([[phoneme]])
#Feature
 
The hierarchy from the mora downwardsupwards is also called the '''prosodic hierarchy'''.
