  2. Syllable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syllable

    A coda-less syllable of the form V, CV, CCV, etc. (V = vowel, C = consonant) is called an open syllable or free syllable, while a syllable that has a coda (VC, CVC, CVCC, etc.) is called a closed syllable or checked syllable. They have nothing to do with open and close vowels, but are defined according to the phoneme that ends the syllable: a ...

  3. Checked and free vowels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checked_and_free_vowels

    The term checked vowel is also used to refer to a short vowel followed by a glottal stop in Mixe, which has a distinction between two kinds of glottalized syllable nuclei: checked ones, with the glottal stop after a short vowel, and nuclei with rearticulated vowels, a long vowel with a glottal stop in the middle.

  4. Syllable weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syllable_weight

    A syllable with a branching rime is a closed syllable, that is, one with a coda (one or more consonants at the end of the syllable); this type of syllable is abbreviated CVC. In some languages, both CVV and CVC syllables are heavy, while a syllable with a short vowel as the nucleus and no coda (a CV syllable) is a light syllable. In other ...

  5. Phonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonics

    In the word button, both syllables are closed syllables (but. ton) because they contain single vowels followed by consonants. Therefore, the letter u represents the short sound / ʌ /. (The o in the second syllable makes the / ə / sound because it is an unstressed syllable.) Open syllables are syllables in which a vowel appears at the end of ...

  6. Phonological changes from Classical Latin to Proto-Romance

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonological_changes_from...

    Long vowels shorten in stressed closed syllables. Short vowels lengthen in stressed open syllables. On account of the above, the vowel inventory changes from /iː i eː e a aː o oː u uː/ to /i ɪ e ɛ a ɔ o ʊ u/ , with pre-existing differences in vowel quality achieving phonemic status and with no distinction between original /a/ and /aː/ .

  7. Open syllable lengthening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_syllable_lengthening

    The lengthening still survives in Modern English and accounts, for example, for the vowel difference between "staff" and the alternative plural "staves" (Middle English staf vs. stāves, with open-syllable lengthening in the latter word). The effects of open-syllable lengthening and trisyllabic laxing often led to differences in the stem vowel ...

  8. Phonological history of English close front vowels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonological_history_of...

    In Geordie, the FLEECE vowel undergoes an allophonic split, with the monophthong being used in morphologically-closed syllables (as in freeze [fɹiːz]) and the diphthong [ei] being used in morphologically-open syllables not only word-finally (as in free [fɹei]) but also word-internally at the end of a morpheme (as in frees [fɹeiz]). [10] [11]

  9. Italian phonology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_phonology

    Final stressed vowels are short by nature, if a consonant follows a short stressed vowel the syllable must be closed, thus the consonant following the final stressed vowel is drawn to lengthen: parlò portoghese [parˈlɔpportoˈɡeːze] 's/he spoke Portuguese' vs. parla portoghese [ˈparlaportoˈɡeːze] 's/he speaks Portuguese'.
