		The syllable nucleus is typically a sonorant, usually a vowel sound, in the form of a monophthong, diphthong, or triphthong, but sometimes sonorant consonants like [l] or [r].
		The syllable onset is the sound or sounds occurring before the nucleus, and the syllable coda (literally 'tail') is the sound or sounds that follow the nucleus.
		A heavy syllable is one with a branching rime or a branching nucleus â” this is a metaphor, based on the nucleus or coda having lines that branch in a tree diagram.

	Syllable Structure in English
		The nucleus is a vowel in most cases, although the consonants [ r ], [ l ], [ m ], [ n ], and the velar nasal (the 'ng' sound) can also be the nucleus of a syllable.
		The nucleus, as the term suggests, is the core or essential part of a syllable.

		A mora knife syllable nathalia mora worms marina mora pat mora poetry containing one mora is said jim mora tirade elizabeth mora mora mora to be monomoraic; monique mora de carvalho one with two moras mora y leon is called bimoraic.
		The syllable nucleus represents one mora in the case of a short vowel, and two moras in the case of a long vowel or diphthong.
		In general, monomoraic syllables are said to be light syllables, bimoraic syllables are said to be heavy syllables, and trimoraic maura mora syllables (in languages that have them) are said to be superheavy syllables.

	B07 Sound patterns in Human Language: Syllables
		For most syllables, the most sonorous sound is in the middle, and is called the syllable nucleus, while the sounds on either end of the nucleus are less sonorous.
		The idea of a sonority profile for each syllable runs into problems with words like spanks where the /sp/ and /ks/ sequences each place a sound of low sonority (/p/ or /k/) closer to the syllable nucleus than their respective /s/ sounds.
		The most common sort of syllable found in the languages of the world has a CV structure, that is, a syllable consists of a single consonant and a single vowel.

		For the computer operating system, see Syllable (operating system).'' A syllable (ancient Greek: &963;&965;&955;&955;&945;&946;&942;) is a unit of speech that is made up of nucleus (most often a vowel) with one or more optional phones (single sounds or "phonetic segments").
		The Syllable nucleus is typically a sonorant, usually a vowel sound, in the form of a monophthong, diphthong, or triphthong, but sometimes including consonants like and.
		The Syllable onset is the sound(s) occurring before the nucleus, and the Syllable coda is the sound(s) occurring after the nucleus.

		In phonetics and phonology, the nucleus (sometimes called peak) is the central part of the syllable, mostly commonly a vowel.
		The nucleus and coda form the rime of the syllable.
		Syllables with short vowels as nuclei are sometimes referred to as "light syllables" while Syllables with long vowels, diphthongs, or triphthongs as nuclei are referred to as "heavy syllables." Sonorant consonants such as liquids (such as and) and nasals (such as and) can serve as the nucleus if there is no vowel.

	Ling 60 \| Syllabification
		As always in phonology, our goal is to propose a theory of syllabification and syllable structure that is general enough to encompass the range of variation that we see between languages, while being restrictive enough to account for the aspects of syllable structure that do not vary from language to language.
		Because the variation is so limited, syllable structure is often analyzed in terms of parameters, or "menu options." Languages are free to select different settings for each parameter, but that is the extent of their freedom.
		In particular, a consonant between two vowels is universally syllabified as an onset to the second syllable ([a.tu]), not a coda to the first syllable ([at.u]).

		In linguistics, syllable weight is the concept that syllables pattern together according to the number and/or duration of segments in the rime.
		A heavy syllable is a syllable with a branching nucleus or a branching rime.
		A syllable with a branching rime is a closed syllable, that is, one with a coda (one or more consonants at the end of the syllable); this type of syllable is abbreviated CVC.

	Report on Prosodic Structure and Temporal Modelling
		The leftmost syllable within a foot acts as its head, so the syllable at the head of a [strong] foot, itself [strong], is stressed.
		However, [strong] syllables may occur inside [weak] feet; for example, the fourth syllable known in the phrase in the well-known maths department is [strong], but is dominated by a rhythmically [weak] foot.
		In polymorphemic syllables such as cat+s, the weight of the syllable is determined according to the stem, and the suffix is treated as a syllable appendix.

	Procedure: Test syllable labels
		The start of the nucleus marks the end of the onset and the start of the coda marks the end of the nucleus; the end of the coda is also labelled.
		It should be noted that singleton test syllable coda consonants could also be regarded as ambisyllabic or as unstressed syllable onsets in left-headed disyllables and trisyllables: for example mason and masonry.
		Firstly, the period of stop closure in the syllable onsets for the right-headed keywords compose, dispose, port, suppose and juice does not have an acoustic correlate in utterance-initial position, and thus the ``onset'' label is missing in these cases.

	VV is for VVowels
		My dictionary says that a syllable is a unit of sound, generally larger than a phoneme, and that a syllable is composed of a vowel (or a syllabic consonant) plus optional preceding and following consonants.
		In other words, all syllables are based on vowels, except those which are based on consonants; and a vowel is the sound that a syllable is based on, unless it's a consonant.
		So, a syllable (the word is from Greek syllambanein, "to gather together") is a unit of sound that's constructed around a speech sound that's made with an unrestricted air flow.

		Recently, Campbell and Isard (1991) have suggested that a more effective model is one in which the syllable is taken as the distinguished timing unit and segmental durations accommodated secondarily to syllable durations.
		In these structures, the rime is the head of the syllable, the nucleus is the head of the rime and the strong syllable is the head of the foot (cf Coleman 1992).
		Since the nucleus is the head of the syllable the nucleus and syllable are coextensive.

		In the study of phonology in linguistics, the rime or rhyme of a syllable consists of a nucleus and an optional coda.
		The segmental structure of a syllable may begin with an optional onset or initial (''shengmu''), followed by a compulsory rime.
		Notice that it differs from the standard definition of syllable nucleus, which typically includes the medial.

		The other vowel may be either a "strong" vowel or a "weak" one, but it serves as the nucleus of the syllable, while the unstressed "weak" vowel functions more like a consonant.
		A syllable is a word or part of a word that contains a nucleus or central sound of relatively great resonance or loudness, with (or without) one or more accompanying sounds of relatively less resonance or loudness.
		There is a small group of one-syllable homophones (words that sound alike) whose meanings are distinguished in writing by the presence or absence of the accent mark.

		Under the widespread assumptions that (1) sonority should monotonically increase toward the syllable nucleus, (2) these s+stop are clusters, (3) both members of the cluster belong to the same syllable, and (4) fricatives are more sonorant than stops, there is an evident problem.
		This nucleus remains empty (unpronounced) in English by a language-specific stipulation, while in other languages (such as Spanish), it is filled by the language's default vowel.
		His account relies on a distinction between a coda consonant that associates with the syllable by way of a mora node, and a coda consonant that associates directly with the syllable node.
