English Phonetics and Phonology. Mid-term2
Phonology. Mid-term 2.
Syllable - is a phonological unit consisting of one or more phonemes.
In phonetics a syllable is a unit which consists of a centre, that has little or no obstruction
to airflow; it is comparatively louder than other sounds.
In phonology syllables are the possible combinations of phonemes.
The syllable consists of - onset, nucleus, coda. (every syllable has a nucleus: vowel,
syllabic l, or m, n).
Rhyme/rime nucleus + coda; the nucleus and the coda constitute a sub-syllabic unit
rhyme. Words rhyme, when their nucleus and coda are identical. (E.g 'cr-o-wn', 'd-o-wn').
The hierarchical structure of the syllable:
Onset the beginning of the syllable
Nucleus/peak the open part of a syllable, generally a vowel.
Coda a consonant sound which ends the syllable.
Open syllable - has no coda
Closed syllable - has a coda!
Texts: [t-e-k-s-t-s]- (Consonant, Vowel, Consonant, Consonant, Consonant, Consonant).
