Syllables are chunks of sound and can be just one letter or group of letters, it’s the sound
that matters.

SYLLABLE NUCLEUS
- most often a vowel with optional initial and final margins (typically consonants)

SYLLABICS• refers to the characteristic of a word that is segmented by its sounds that can function as the nucleus of a syllable• The nucleus of the word is called the syllabic

STRUCTUREIn most theories of
phonology, the general structure of a syllable consist of three segments:
1) Onset2) Nucleus3) Coda

ONSET - is the consonant sound or
sounds at the beginning of a syllable, occurring before the nucleus
- is optional

NUCLEUS - is usually the vowel in the
middle of a syllable - is usually a vowel, in the form of
a monophthong, diphthong, or triphthong, but sometimes is a syllabic consonant
- obligatory in most languages

SYLLABIC CONSONANTS - are [m], [n], [ŋ], [l], [r] - usually similar to vowels in duration, and
can carry tone - we indicate consonant sounds syllabic by
placing a small vertical line beneath the consonant symbol
- any unmarked consonant sound is assumed to be non syllabic

CODA - comprises the consonant sounds of a syllable that follow the nucleus
- is optional in some languages
