| Research Abstract |
The syllable is a group of sounds centering around a vowel, and it is useful as a phonological unit. Syllables can be classified according to syllable quantity, or syllable weight, by which, for example, the placement of word stress (word accent) in English is accounted for. It is generally understood that syllable quantity depends on the length of the vowel (short vowels vs. long vowels and diphthongs) and the number of coda consonants (consonants following the vowel); however, it was found out that syllable quantity is also affected to a considerable degree by the kind of coda consonants and by onset consonants (consonants preceding the vowel).
