What is a #syllable?
_________________________
A syllable is one or more letters
representing a unit of spoken language
consisting of a single uninterrupted
sound.
Adjective: syllabic .
A syllable is made up of either a single
vowel sound (as in the pronunciation of
oh ) or a combination of vowel and
consonant(s) (as in no and not).
A syllable that stands alone is called a
monosyllable. A word containing two or
more syllables is called a polysyllable.
A syllable is the sound of a vowel
(A, E, I, O, U) that is created when
pronouncing the letters A, E, I, O, U, or Y.
The letter "Y" is a vowel only if it creates an A, E, I, O, or U sound.
examples: fry, try, cry, & dry
The number of times that you hear the sound of a vowel is the number of syllables in a word.
When two (or more) vowels are next to
each other, the number of syllables
depends on the number of vowel sounds.
Examples: free (1 syllable), eat
(1 syllable), & bio (2 syllables)
If a vowel is silent, it is not counted as a
syllable.
example : fire (1 syllable)
Does the word end with "le" or "les?"
This is a syllable if the letter before the
"le" is a consonant .

#Types of Syllables
_____________________
There are six types of syllables:
1. A closed syllable ends in a
consonant. The vowel has a short
vowel sound, as in the word bat.
2. An open syllable ends in a
vowel. The vowel has a long vowel
sound, as in the first syllable of
apron.
3. A vowel-consonant-e syllable is
typically found at the end of a
word. The final e is silent and
makes the next vowel before it
long, as in the word name .
4. A vowel team syllable has two
vowels next to each other that
together say a new sound, as in the
word south .
5. A consonant+l -e syllable is
found in words like handle, puzzle,
and middle .
6. An r-controlled syllable contains
a vowel followed by the letter r .
The r controls the vowel and
changes the way it is pronounced,
as in the word car .

#Morpheme
____________________
Morpheme Has a distinctive meaning.
Cannot occur by itself unless it is in a monomorphemic word.
As nouns the difference between
morpheme and syllable
is that
"morpheme is (linguistic
morphology) the smallest linguistic unit
within a word that can carry a meaning,
such as "un-", "break", and "-able" in the
word "unbreakable" while
(Syllable) "Pronunciation"
Syllable Has no inherent distinctive meaning.
Cannot occur by itself unless it is in a
monosyllabic word.
"syllable is
(linguistics) a unit of human speech that is
interpreted by the listener as a single
sound, although syllables usually consist of
one or more vowel sounds, either alone or
combined with the sound of one or more
consonants; a word consists of one or
more syllables.
