Деление на слоги (syllable)
===========================

В слове число слогов равно числу гласных звуков::

  ba-by, pis-ton

Если на границе слогораздела одна согласная, то она отходит ко второму
слогу::

  e-ven, o-pen, i-tem

Если на границе слогораздела более одной согласной, то только первая
согласная относится к первому слогу::

  hus-band, pen-cil, mem-ber, sym-ptom

Слог образуют сочетания согласных с ``l`` и ``r``, если за ними следует
конечное нечитаемое ``e``::

  ta-ble, a-ble, cy-cle, a-cre

Типы слогов
===========

Открытый слог (open syllable)
-----------------------------

Заканчивается на гласную::

  ba-by

Слог, который стоит перед ND / LD, считается открытым::

  cold [kɔuld], child [ʧaɪld], old [ɔuld]

Закрытый слог (closed syllable)
-------------------------------

Заканчивается на согласную, кроме ``r``::

  sys-tem

Ударный слог (stressed syllable)
--------------------------------

Обычно первый слог::

  pi-lot [ˈpaɪlot], paper [ˈpeɪpə]

В производных словах смещение ударения как правило не происходит::

  nature/natural [ˈneɪʧə/ˈnæʧrəl]
  mark/remark [mɑːk/rɪˈmɑːk]
  press/impress [pres/ɪmˈpres]

Неударный слог (unstressed syllable)
------------------------------------
