Phonological system of a particular language could change in thirty years of one generation. The Japanese language has undergone phonological evolution of its consonant system and prosodic system in these thirty years of the Heisei period: the distinctive feature of voiced plosives has changed from voicing to tenseness; the prosodic unit is changing from mora to syllable; the culminative function has predominated the distinctive function of word accent. These phonological changes are reflected on several cases of phonetic change among Japanese speakers of the Heisei generation.
