アクセント核

アクセント核 (canonical)
akusento-kaku (romanization)

[a̠kɯ̟̊ᵝsẽ̞nto̞ka̠kɯ̟ᵝ]

From アクセント (akusento, “accent”) + 核(かく) (kaku, “core; kernel; nucleus”).

ja-compound

(Japanese phonology) an accent kernel/nucleus (the so-called "accented" mora of an utterance, which singly occurs for each utterance and which immediately precedes a drop in pitch from high to low)

ja:アクセント#日本語のアクセント

頭高型 for the first accented mora

The accent types are named after the position of the accent kernel in a word

中高型 for any of the morae from second to penultimate

and 尾高型 for the last accented mora. Words with the 平板型 do not have an accent kernel.

Depending on dialects and individual preference

the high pitch of words with an accent kernel could actually be higher than the high pitch of words without one

ちゅう.ご.く.じん

特殊拍 (tokushuhaku, “special morae”) (see 音節 (onsetsu, “syllable”)) such as the 促音 (sokuon, /Q/), the 撥音 (hatsuon, /N/), the lengthening part of a vowel (/ː/) and the offglide of a diphthong (/i/), can never be accent kernels, except when certain apparent trimoraic syllables are involved. Should they be due to certain patterns, the accent kernel will shift to an adjacent mora, usually the one before. For example, the suffix じん (-jin, citizen/native of a place) tends to make the mora immediately before じ (ji) the accent kernel (with few exceptions such as にほんじん (Nihonjin, “Japanese”) /nihoNd͡ʑiꜜN/ where the accent kernel is じ (ji) itself)

*ロン.ドン.じん → ロン.ドン.じん

However, should that mora be a special one, the accent kernel shifts to the mora before it

*ス.ペイン.じん → ス.ペ.イン.じん

This rule seemingly breaks down when it comes to apparently trimoraic syllables, especially introduced by 外来語 (gairaigo, “European loanwords”). Trimoraic syllables are disfavored and seem to be broken into two separate syllables, turning what is supposed to be a special mora into a 自立拍 (jiritsuhaku, “free mora”)

*ロン.ドンっ.こ → ロン.ド.ンっ.こ

Suffixes such as っ子 (-kko) add one extra mora to any syllable before them, causing potential trimoraic syllables that need to be broken down

→ English: pan-pan

→? Bikol Central: pampam

→? Cebuano: pampam

Ellipsis of パンパンガール (panpangāru). This noun is attested from the 1940s.

* Possibly from English pompom girl as a WW2 slang. Compare Ilocano pampam (“prostitute”), Tagalog pampam (“prostitute”), Cebuano pampam (“prostitute”), Waray-Waray pampam (“prostitute”). See also English pum-pum (“vulva”)
* Possibly from Indonesian perempuan (“woman”).
* Possibly a semantic shift from the onomatopoeia, perhaps in reference to clapping hands to attract a prostitute

ノンバイナリー

トランスジェンダーは普通、生まれた時とは別の性別を望むことを表します。対してノンバイナリージェンダーの人は、“身体と心が必ずしも別の性別というわけではなく、男性でも女性でもない”のです。

2016 May 26, “Jendā to wa josei to dansei no nitaku de wa nai! ‘Nonbainarī jendā’ ni tsuite shitte okō [Gender is not two choices, woman and man! Let’s understand ‘non-binary gender’]”, in Vogue Girl

Transgender typically means that one wishes to express a gender different from what they were assigned at birth. In contrast, people of non-binary gender say, “The body and the mind are not necessarily divided into genders, either male or female.”

Toransujendā wa futsū, umareta toki to wa betsu no seibetsu o nozomu koto o arawashimasu. Taishite nonbainarī jendā no hito wa, “shintai to kokoro ga kanarazushimo betsu no seibetsu to iu wake de wa naku, dansei de mo josei de mo nai” no desu.

権威ある辞書「メリアム・ウェブスター」が2019年の「Word of the Year」に単数形の「they」（ノンバイナリーの方への配慮として用いられる性別を問わない代名詞）を選んだことも、象徴的でした。
Ken'i aru jisho “Meriamu Webusutā” ga nisenjūkyū-nen no “Wādo ovu za Īru” ni tansūkei no “zē” (nonbainarī no kata e no hairyo toshite mochīrareru seibetsu o towanai daimeishi) o eranda koto mo, shōchōteki deshita.

2020 September 9, “Nonbainarī (X-jendā) to wa?”, in Out Japan

selected as its 2019 “Word of the Year” the singular form they (a pronoun preferred by nonbinary people that does not specify gender), it was emblematic.
