NAME:
Syllable is one or more phonemes pronounced in a single voice, every syllable is based on a vowel.
The classification of syllables can vary in terms of the number of syllables, or the position of the stressed syllable.
– monosyllables: it has only one syllable (um, color, sun);
– disyllables: it has two syllables (ca-sa, key, organ, pi-pa);
– trisyllables: it has three syllables (ca-der-no, ca-ne-ta, ash-ro)
– polysyllables: it has more than three syllables (ma-ra-cu-ja, in-fe-liz-men-te).
stressed syllable it is the most intensely pronounced, the stressed syllable does not always have a graphic accent. According to the location of the stressed syllable we can classify the words as:
– oxytones: when the stressed syllable is the last in the word.
ma-ra-cu-already, ca-faith, re-with-per
– paroxytones: when the stressed syllable is the penultimate of the word.
here-I gave-breed-frog-to have, me-sa
– proparoxytones: when the stressed syllable is the second-to-last of the word.
yes-la-ba, me-ta-fi-s-ca, lam-pa-da
vowel encounter it is the union of vowels and semivowels.
– diphthong: it is the union in the same syllable, of a vowel and a semivowel or a semivowel and a vowel. Diphthongs can be:
* increasing: semivowel + vowel
| g | there | ó | – | r | i | The |
| s.v. | v. |
* decreasing: vowel + semivowel
| there | and | i | – | t | and |
| v. | s.v. |
* oral: when the vowel is oral
| d | and | i | – | x | O |
| v. | s.v. |
* nasals: when the vowel is nasal
| m | The | – | m | ã | O |
| v. | s.v. |
– tritongo: it is when a semivowel + vowel + semivowel are found in the same syllable, they can be oral or nasal.
* oral: when you have an oral vowel

– imperfect: when consonants are in separate syllables
Thef–tthe, theB–so-lu-to, thed–jand you
