    ★★ WHAT THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT★★
    In this video we are going to have a look at the structure of syllables. Syllables can consist of three parts: an onset (= one more more consonant sounds at the beginning of the syllable), a nucleus (= exactly one vowel sound in the middle forming the core - it can be a monophthong, diphthong or triphthong) and a coda (= one or more consonants at the end of the syllable). Each syllable must have a nucleus. Onset and coda are optional in syllables. We are going to learn the terms zero onset, open vs. closed syllables and then we are going to look at plenty of examples. At the end, there is also a fun fact for you!

    I have some questions need your help to answer.
    Why does the native speaker usually speaker wrong way with syllable division in dictionary? For example: the word 'city', in Cambridge Dictionary write /ˈsɪt.i/ but native speaker always speak /ˈsɪ.ti/, they don't blend the /t/ sound in the first syllable, they speak /si/ instead /sit/ for the first syllable. Could you explain more about this one?
    Thank you so much for your time!

  • @ShiroRey-mr4gv

    In the word "stardust" st/ is the onset and st/ is the coda. And which one is the nucleus (peak)?

    • @LinguisticsFriend
      @LinguisticsFriend Před měsícem +1

      "stardust" (/ˈstɑːr.dʌst/) consists of 2 syllables. They are 'star' and 'dust'
      'star' consists of st-a-r (/st/ /ɑː/ /r/; CCVC)
      'dust' consists of d-u-st (/d/ /ʌ/ /st/; CVCC)
      So stardust as a whole has the structure CCVC'CVCC.
      I hope I could help you :)

    • @BillieEnglish
      @BillieEnglish  Před měsícem

      This word has 2 syllables!
      👉 first syllable: /st/ is the onset and the /a:/ the nucleus, there is no coda
      👉 second syllable /d/ = onset, /ʌ/ = nucleus, /st/ = coda

  • @aneeqasahar2930
    @aneeqasahar2930 Před 8 měsíci

    In English, all onset consonants are allowed as English codas, apart from /h/. What does it mean give an example

    • @BillieEnglish
      @BillieEnglish  Před 7 měsíci +1

      That's the thing: there are no examples! There are no English words that end in the sound /h/ (not the letter H!). It's the only sound that cannot come last in a word.

      Understanding syllable structure is not necessary to speak English fluently. I am teaching this because many of my viewers study English phonology to design speech systems and for that purpose this is important!

    Send her this message. Syllabic consonants, I believe, are assumed in the theory just to save the collapsing umiversal principle that a syllable must have a
    voclic nucleus.

    If nucleus consists of only 1 vowel sound, then how come diphthong or triphthong in 1 nucleus? This seems confusing :(

    • @musicstudio491
      @musicstudio491 Před 9 měsíci

      We can talk about 1 vowel sound not a short vowel sound. So we can say that 1 vowel sound can be consisting of diphthongs or tripthongs.
