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).
