Spanish Classes / / July 04, 2021
Wordsmonosyllablesare words that contain a single syllable, so they are pronounced in a single voice emission, for example the words cough, beef, peace, more they are pronounced as a phonetic unit.
Let us remember that syllables They are units of sounds formed from the combination of vowels and consonants; Unlike monosyllables, words that contain more than one syllable are called polysyllables, for example the word warranty has four syllableswarranty)
Monosyllabic formation
It is important take diphthongs into account (union of vowels in a syllable) and hiatuses (separation of vowels into different syllables) in the formation of monosyllables.
To avoid confusion, orthographically, it should be considered that the union of an open vowel (a, e, o) plus a closed vowel (i, u) or vice versa always form a diphthong, regardless of its pronunciation.
- For example, spelling the word roan is a monosyllable because it forms a diphthong (ua), despite the fact that certain speakers pronounce it in two syllables. The same goes for the word script, which is considered a monosyllable because it forms diphthong (io).
Accentuation of monosyllable words
Monosyllable words as a general rule they should not have an accent or accent. This rule is only broken in the case of diacritical accent: monosyllable words are only accentuated in case of diacritical accent.
The diacritical accent distinguishes two monosyllables that have the same shape, that is, they are written the same, but they have functions or different meanings, in addition, normally the monosyllable that has a diacritical accent is tonic (pronounced with intensity) and the other is unstressed.
- For example, monosyllables are accentuated you, him Y my which are pronouns, and the unstressed forms do not have an accent you, him, my, which are articles or adjectives.
