the single syllable.· The reader will recall how Keynes would not have disagreed with a single syllable of the above diagnosis.· Here is a list of single tonic syllables. ► stressed· It is written in basic pentameter with exactly ten stressed syllables in every single line.· The prominent syllable is called a stressed syllable.· It follows that if there is no stressed syllable before the tonic syllable, there can not be a head.· The keys for lexical access are stressed syllables in the word corresponding to the input syllable type.· If there is no stressed syllable in the tail, the rise happens on the final syllable.· They don't need to hear every syllable - if they hear most of the stressed syllables that will be enough.· The stressed syllable is spoken louder, and the rest of the word often has a falling intonation. ► strong· The distribution of strong and weak syllables is a subject that will be met in several later chapters.· Elision is a closely related subject, and in considering intonation the difference between strong and weak syllables is also important. ► tonic· There are quite a few situations where it is normal for the tonic syllable to come earlier in the tone-unit.· In a tone-unit of more than one syllable, the tonic syllable must have one of those tones.· The first thing to be done is to make more precise the role of the tonic syllable in the tone-unit.· It follows that if there is no stressed syllable before the tonic syllable, there can not be a head.· Any syllables between the tonic syllable and the end of the tone-unit are called the tail.· It is therefore necessary to say in this particular case that the tonic syllable is identified simply as the most prominent syllable.· From now on, a syllable which carries a tone will be called a tonic syllable. ► unstressed· These words show very clearly the difficulty of the unstressed syllable.· The production of stress is generally believed to depend on the speaker using more muscular energy than is used for unstressed syllables.· In one sense, the error to be noted is the unstressed syllable rather than the others: plain for plane is understandable.· It is usual for unstressed syllables to continue the pitch of the stressed syllable that precedes them. ► weak· The distribution of strong and weak syllables is a subject that will be met in several later chapters.· Elision is a closely related subject, and in considering intonation the difference between strong and weak syllables is also important.· In this chapter we look at the general nature of weak syllables.· Not all weak syllables contain, though many do. VERB► pronounce· And so, Janir, pronounced Ja-NEER: two syllables put together on a park bench on the day of his birth. ► represent· The systems in this category contain an inventory of symbols called a syllabary to represent the individual syllables of speech.· The term morphosyllabic is meant to suggest that they do so via the intermediary of some element representing a syllable.· The assumption that each character represents an independent meaningful syllable leads to the conclusion that each character represents a monosyllabic word.
