DEFINITION OF SYLLABIFICATION

Syllabification Definition:

Syllabification has SIX types, they are :

  • 1.Monosyllabic
  • 2.Disyllabic (or) Bisyllabic
  • 3.Trisyllabic
  • 4.Terasyllabic
  • 5.Pentasyllabic
  • 6.Polysyllabic (or) Multisyllabic

But the basic syllabifications are Mono-syllabic, Di-syllabic and Poly-syllabic.

Some times we must break a word at the end of a line. Avoid doing so whenever possible; expecially avoid breaking two successive lines. When breaking a word is unavoidable, mark the division with a hypen (made with one stroke on the typewriter[-]).

It is splitting of words according to the syllables or units of sounds or vowel sounds.
