define la sílaba como "un elemento del habla que actúa como

una unidad de ritmo, que consiste en una vocal, una consonante silábica o vocal / +

combinación de consonantes ". Por otro lado, Hancock (2003: 50) cree que una

sílaba se describe a menudo como un grupo de uno o más sonidos con un pico o

núcleo. defines the syllable as " an element of speech that acts as

a unit of rhythm, consisting of a vowel, a syllabic consonant or vowel / +

consonant combination ". On the other hand, Hancock (2003: 50) beliefs that a

syllable is often described as a group of one or more sounds with a peak or

nucleus.

Phonologically speaking, a syllable is defined as the way in which vowels

and consonants combine to form various sequences ( the study of the location of

sounds in sequence is called phonotactics) . Vowels can form a syllable on their own or they can
be the " centre or nucleus " of a syllable , e.g. [e] in bed [b | ……………………(En términos
fonológicos, una sílaba se define como la forma en que las vocales

y las consonantes se combinan para formar varias secuencias (el estudio de la ubicación de

los sonidos en secuencia se llaman fonotácticos). Las vocales pueden formar una sílaba por sí
mismas o pueden ser el "centro o núcleo" de una sílaba, p. [e] en la cama)

SUPRAGMENTAL
In this example, the English word "plant" consists of a single CCVCC syllable. This syllable has been
broken up into its onset (any consonants preceding the vowel) and its rhyme (all phonemes from
the vowel to the end of the syllable).

la estructura onset-nucleus-coda.

The rhyme has been further divided into the nucleus, which in the vast majority of syllables is a
vowel (the exceptions are syllabic consonants) and the coda, which are any consonants following
the nucleus.

The rhyme is the vowel plus(mas) cualquier any following consonants. 'plant'. Syllable is
composed of an Onset = /pl/ and a Rhyme = /ænt/

The Suprasegmentals CVC – kick, dip, date, seat, did, kill, the, when, height, deep, fill, duel, sheet,
hide, sheet, etc. where V stands (Representa) for vowel and C (Sgnifica) stands for consonant
as previously observed.

Final Position Consonant Clusters: oVCC – ant, and, arks, imp, its, ifs, eats, ink, kids, tenth,
looked, sink, link, sits, keeps, sheets, leads, bags, can’t, bond, fifth, etc.

VCCC – ants, inks, products, student, prudent, /stjudnt, prudnt/ etc.

VCCCC – students, prompts, exempts, texts, sixths, /teksts, siksșs/,
thousandth, mulcts, sculpts, etc

Fall or rise in question tags?

A fall is used when the speaker expects confirmation. A rise is used when the
speaker expresses an element of doubt.

flounce:
onset = /fl/
rhyme = /aʊns/
nucleus = /aʊ/
coda = /ns/
free: onset /fr/
rhyme = /iː/
 nucleus = /iː/
coda zero

each: onset zero

rhyme = /iːt͡ʃ/
nucleus = /iː/
coda = /t͡ʃ/

Clearly, an
English syllable
may accommodate
more than one
consonant, either at
the initial position or
the final position.
This tendency for a
syllable to have
multiple
consonants is
regarded as a
clustering of
consonants
Initial Position Consonant Clusters: o CCV –
Examples : stop, pray, clay, fry, throw, blow, crow, plead, treat, etc.
O CCCV –
stray, strive, strap, sp ray, screw, split, strip, etc.
