![]() ![]() The syllable may be defined both phonetically and phonologically. It is creating the segmental speech unit - phonetic word and all the supra-segmental speech units- sense-groups, phrases, subphrasal unities and the speech unit of the highest level - the text. On the one hand it consists of speech sounds on the other hand it is the base for all the other units of speech. The syllable is an integrated and an integrating speech unit. The syllable in perception is a minimal undivided unit over time. Units of primary perception on sensory level are not speech sounds but syllables. This definition of the syllable is universal for all the syllabic languages. The syllable is a universal primary minimal undivided basic phonetic unit of speech. So, the aim of my report is to analyse different syllabic theories and to find out whether they explain all peculiarities of syllable formation and division or no.ġ) to analyse the syllable from different points of view Ģ) to study main features of syllable formation in English ģ) to consider the theories of syllable formation and division. The most known of them are: expiratory theory, sonority theory, theory of muscular tension and energetic theory. There are many theories of syllable formation and division. Nowadays the syllable is still in a process of investigation and scientists are trying to find out one definition of the syllable, which every one of them will accept. The vowel is the main syllable-forming element, but in some languages under some conditions sonorants may also become syllable-forming elements. Pitch sounds are syllable-forming sounds. The central part of a syllable is a pitch or syllabic sound. A syllable is a sequence of speech sounds joined together to form a solid undividable stable primary speech unit of segmental level. Being joined with each other, speech sounds serve as structural material, as “bricks” for syllables. The syllable is a primary basic unit of speech.
