syllable
含义: A unit of pronunciation consisting of a single uninterrupted sound, typically containing a vowel nucleus and optionally accompanied by consonants.
Syllables are fundamental to the rhythm and stress patterns of spoken language. In English, syllable boundaries are not always clear-cut, leading to debates amongst linguists about precise division. Understanding syllable structure is essential for mastering English stress patterns, as word stress in English is largely unpredictable and must be learnt word by word.
