A SYLLABLE, ITS FORMATION AND SEPARATION

Abstrak

 This study explores the concept of the syllable, focusing on its formation, structural components, and separation in spoken language. It examines the universal principles governing syllable formation, such as the sonority hierarchy, and highlights language-specific phonotactic constraints that shape syllable structures. The research also investigates syllable separation processes, including the influence of morphological boundaries, stress patterns, and prosodic features. By analyzing theoretical frameworks and cross-linguistic examples, the study provides a comprehensive understanding of syllables, their role in pronunciation, stress assignment, and speech rhythm. The findings have practical implications for language teaching, literacy development, and speech technology.
