Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. Each vowel generally constitutes a syllable nucleus.

Consonant Cluster Handling

Consonant clusters are generally not broken unless they are pronounced as separate syllables (e.g., due to liaison).

Liaison

Final consonants of one word can link with initial vowels of the next, creating a single syllable.

  • The liaison between 'dés-' and 'affection-' is crucial for accurate syllabification.
  • Nasal vowels require careful consideration as they influence syllable weight and stress.
  • Regional variations in the degree of liaison may affect pronunciation but not necessarily syllabification.
