AGUSAN DEL SUR STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AND TECHNOLOGY Bunawan, Agusan del Sur 19084895 TOPIC # 3 Hi and Consonant Clusters Table of Contents 01 Syllables in English 02 Word Stress 03 Consonant Clusters in English 04 Types of consonant Clusters 01 Syllables in English A syllable is an unbroken vowel sound within a word. One-syllable words: cat, big, high, kind, love. Two-syllable words: apple, happy, music, office, woman. 01 Examples of Three-syllable words: animal, Syllables certainly, dinosaur, industry, opposite. Four-syllable words: admirable, anonymous, automatic, beautiful, complicated. Types of Syllables Closed syllables Open syllables A closed syllable has one An open syllable is a unit vowel sound and ends with a that ends in a vowel sound. consonant. Vowel-consonant-e syllables (VCE) These syllables end in a silent e, which is why they are sometimes called “magic-e” syllables. The silent e gives the vowel before it a long sound (it sounds like you are saying the vowel instead of pronouncing it). Types of Syllables Diphthong syllables R-controlled syllables Diphthongs are a “vowel team,” (VR) or a pair of vowels that work R-controlled syllables together to create a single contain a vowel followed by sound. Common English the letter r. diphthongs are oi, ou, and ea. Consonant le syllables This syllable has a sneaky vowel (just like the vowel-consonant-e syllables above). It is, again, a silent e. The consonant le syllable specifically describes words that end in le because you will not actually hear the vowel sound; you will only hear and pronounce an l. 02 WORD STRESS Stress refers to the emphasis given to a specific syllable in a word. Key points The stressed syllable is In multi-syllable * usually louder, longer, * words, one syllable and pronounced with a is the stressed higher pitch. syllable.

In English, for example, the groups /spl/ and /ts/ are consonant clusters in the word splits. Examples of Consonant Clusters Two-letter clusters Three-letter clusters bl, cl, fl, gl, pl, sl, br, Sch, Shr, Spl, Thr, Spr, cr, dr, fr, gr, pr, tr, sc, Scr, Sph. sk, sm, sn, sp, st, sw, tw. Words with consonant clusters black, blue, desk, helped, string, tasks, sixty Types of Consonant Clusters Onset Consonant Clusters Coda Consonant Clusters These occur at the beginning of a These occur at the end of a syllable or word. syllable or word. Examples: Examples: Spr: spring, spray, spread -st: post, fast, best Str: street, strong, strike -nd: hand, friend, stand Bl: black, blue, blend -lt: felt, salt, result Cl: clean, climb, close -sk: desk, risk, task Consonant Cluster Reductions Consonant clusters occur naturally in written and spoken English, although sometimes, they may be changed. This process, called consonant cluster simplification (or reduction) sometimes occurs when at least one consonant in a sequence of adjacent consonants is elided or dropped.
