这个很难。因为英语单词是根据词根、词缀来构成的,因此也是根据词根词缀来分音节的。
举例来说: student是stu+dent, 而study是stud+y
音节划分是按照
音标来划分的,这是很多一开始学英语的人比较容易困惑的问题。英语的每个字母都有自己的发音,自然也就有自己的音标。但是当这些字母被放在单词中的时候,发音就有不一样了。我教的一些英语零起点的学生经常遇到这样的问题,比如说s作为字母的发音为/es/,但是在单词中的一般的发音为 /s/,这是需要注意的,适应就好了。和
汉语拼音不太一样。顿时感觉,还是母语好啊!
划分音节有一些如下的规则:(辅音和元音以音标为准)
(1)两个元音中间有一个辅音(元辅元),则辅音归后面,例如: /peti/中/e/和/i/两个元音中有一个辅 音/t/,那它就归后面,两个音节分别是/pe/和/ti/;
(2)两个元音中间有两个辅音(元辅辅元),则中间的辅音前面一个后面一个,例如:/biskit/中元音/i/和/i/中间有两个辅音/s/和/k/,这两个辅音需要前一个后一个,两个音节分别为/bis/和/kit/;
(3)两个元音中间有三个辅音(元辅辅辅元),则中间的辅音前一后二,这种情况不多见,四个元音的就更少见了,三个辅音的例如:umbrella//\mbrel?/中元音//\/和/e/中间有三个辅音,所以前一后二,又因为元音/e/和/?/中间有一个辅音/l/,所以 /l/归后面,这样一共有音节//\m/,/bre/和/l?/。
怎样划分英语单词音节
英语单词是由字母组成的,而字母又构成音节,音节的核心是元音,由一个或几个
元音字母代表。根据单词所含的音节,把单词分为单音节词、
双音节词和多音节词。下面给大家介绍几种如何划分音节的方法:
(1)如果两个音节之间只有一个
辅音字母(r除外),该字母要归右面的音节,第一音节要读作
开音节。如paper〔>peip+〕,student〔>stju:d+nt〕,open〔>+(p+n〕等。
(2)如果两音节之间有两个辅音字母(第一个不是r),这两个辅音字母分别划归左右两个音节,第一个音节为
闭音节。如:matter〔>m$t+〕,window〔>wind+u〕,happy〔>h$pi〕,mid-dle 〔>midl〕等。
注:
如果两个相同的辅音字母在一起并用时,只发一个辅音字母的音,如上例。
(3)如果两音节之间有两个辅音字母,第一个是r,这两个辅音字母可分别划归左右两个音节,第一个音节按r
重读音节读,如 corner〔>k&:Q+〕,certain〔>s+:tn〕等。如果
分界线上的两个辅音字母都是r,左边的重读音节按闭音节读。如:car- ry〔>k$ri〕,sorry〔>s&ri〕,carrot〔>k$r+t〕,borrow〔>b&r+(〕等。
(4)辅音字母l,m,n等也可构成非重读音节,如apple〔>$pl〕,bottle〔>b&tl〕,noodle〔>Qu:dl〕,often〔>&fn〕等。
以上所讲正是:
每个音节一元音, 并连辅音两边分,
还有一点需注音, 字母组合不能分,
缺少元音无音节, 不算几个成节音。
如:(〔CS〕〔AS〕〔DS〕〔KS〕〔KQ〕〔HQ〕〔LQ〕)
如何划分音节 Student's copy
“音节划分”是拼读规则中的一个至关重要的内容,掌握它有利于拼读技能的落实。本节将用较长的篇幅讨论。
双音节单词的音节划分方法可归纳为“两分手。一归前或一归后”。
1.“两分手”是指:当两个元音之间有两个辅音字母时,将两个辅音字母划分
在前后两个音节里。具体细节以及读音特点,分别介绍如下:
1a. 当两个辅音字母相同(包括字母 r ),且重读音节在词首时:
better 划分成 bet ter carry 划分成 car ry
yellow 划分成 yel low borrow 划分成 bor row
millet 划分成 mil let little 划分成 lit tle
第一个音节的元音按照“短元音”读,但是相邻的那一个辅音字母没有读音。注意:字
母 l, r在非重读音节中,有时起元音的作用。如在单词little, acre 中。
1b. 带前缀的单词,有时也有两个相同的辅音字母(包括字母 r ),如:
attack划分成at tack arrive划分成 ar rive
attend 划分成 at tend correct划分成 cor rect
effect划分成 ef fect support划分成 sup port
这样的单词,第一个音节是“非重读音节”,元音一般读“含糊元音”。
1c. 当两个辅音字母不同(不包括字母 r )时:
sister 划分成 sis ter window 划分成 win dow
system 划分成 sys tem publish 划分成 pub lish
milky 划分成 mil ky (建议将这个单词的读音与millet 的读音相比较。)
第一个音节的元音按照“短元音”读,相邻的辅音字母有读音。
1d. 当两个辅音字母不同,并且第一个辅音字母为 r 时:
market 划分成 mar ket dirty 划分成 dir ty
certain 划分成 cer tain forty 划分成 for ty
surface 划分成 sur face purple 划分成 pur ple
第一个音节的元音按照“第四类音节的读音”读。
注意:不能够“两分手”的情况:
a. 辅音字符th, sh, ch, tch, ck等,是不允许分割的。这样的单词有:
fa ther oth er cash ier ma chine pock et
meth od moth er fash ion re charge butch er
b. 各种辅音连缀,如 cr, pr, bl, fl, 等,也是不允许分割的。这样的单词有:
April 只能划分成 A pril secret 只能划分成 se cret
apron只能划分成 a pron sacred 只能划分成 sa cred
包括带前缀的一些单词,如 degree, decrease, across, agree, afraid 等。
2.“一归前或一归后”是指:当两个元音之间只有一个辅音字母时,有时将这
个辅音字母划分在前面的音节里,有时划分在后面的音节里。
2a. 先说“一归后”的情况。在有些单词中是对的。如:
open 划分成 o pen able 划分成 a ble
even 划分成 e ven nation 划分成 na tion
fever 划分成 fe ver unit 划分成 u nit
tiny 划分成 ti ny student 划分成 stu dent
显然,第一个音节的元音按照“
长元音”读。
2b. 带有以元音结尾的前缀的单词,自然是属于“一归后”的。如:
begin 划分成 be gin repeat 划分成 re peat
decide 划分成 de cide return 划分成 re turn
prepare 划分成pre pare repair 划分成 re pair
重读音节在第二个音节,其元音按照第二章中的诸多规则读音
2c. 再看“一归前”的情况。在有些单词中也是对的。如:
city 划分成 cit y minute 划分成 min ute
study 划分成 stud y second 划分成 sec ond
travel 划分成 trav el never 划分成 nev er
显然,第一个音节的元音按照“短元音”读。
另外,字母 x 永远是划归第一个音节的。并且第一个音节读“短元音”。如:
taxi划分成 tax i exit 划分成 ex it
鉴于“一归后”、“一归前”两种情况都存在,所以需要细致地对待这个口诀。
English in that they greatly influence the rhythm of the language, its poetic meter and its stress patterns. Syllables are also important very early on as their mastery dictates a child’s success in reading. Kids enjoy learning about syllables using fun online games.
As the basic unit of written and spoken language, syllables are an important concept for students to grasp since dividing syllables correctly determines whether the pronunciation is correct. Syllables are of course also very important when learning to read, as kids early on become hooked on phonics as they learn proper pronunciation when reading aloud.
There are six types of syllables, all referring to each word’s vowels: closed syllables (ex: not), open syllables (ex: no), silent syllables (ex: note), combined syllables (ex: nail), controlled syllables (ex: bird) and consonant syllables (ex: table, where the final syllable is created by a consonant+e at the end of the word).
Basic Syllable Rules
1. To find the number of syllables:
---count the vowels in the word,
---subtract any silent vowels, (like the silent "e" at the end of a word or the second vowel when two vowels a together in a syllable)
---subtract one vowel from every dipthong, (diphthongs only count as one vowel sound.)
---the number of vowels sounds left is the same as the number of syllables.
The number of syllables that you hear when you pronounce a word is the same as the number of vowels sounds heard. For example:
The word "came" has 2 vowels, but the "e" is silent, leaving one vowel sound and one syllable.
The word "outside" has 4 vowels, but the "e" is silent and the "ou" is a diphthong which counts as only one sound, so this word has only two vowels sounds and therefore, two syllables.
2. Divide between two middle consonants.
Split up words that have two middle consonants. For example:
hap/pen, bas/ket, let/ter, sup/per, din/ner, and Den/nis. The only exceptions are the consonant digraphs. Never split up consonant digraphs as they really represent only one sound. The exceptions are "th", "sh", "ph", "th", "ch", and "wh".
3. Usually divide before a single middle consonant.
When there is only one syllable, you usually divide in front of it, as in:
"o/pen", "i/tem", "e/vil", and "re/port". The only exceptions are those times when the first syllable has an obvious short sound, as in "cab/in".
4. Divide before the consonant before an "-le" syllable.
When you have a word that has the old-style spelling in which the "-le" sounds like "-el", divide before the consonant before the "-le". For example: "a/ble", "fum/ble", "rub/ble" "mum/ble" and "thi/stle". The only exception to this are "ckle" words like "tick/le".
5. Divide off any compound words, prefixes, suffixes and roots which have vowel sounds.
Split off the parts of compound words like "sports/car" and "house/boat". Divide off prefixes such at "un/happy", "pre/paid", or "re/write". Also divide off suffixes as in the words "farm/er", "teach/er", "hope/less" and "care/ful". In the word "stop/ping", the suffix is actually "-ping" because this word follows the rule that when you add "-ing" to a word with one syllable, you double the last consonant and add the "-ing".
