180. What are the two commonest structural types of the syllable in English (write their canonical forms)?

181. The point of this theory of syllabic structure of the word is that in most languages there is a syllabic phoneme in the centre of the syllable, which is usually a vowel phoneme or, in some languages, a sonorant. The phonemes preceding or following the syllable peak are called marginal. The energy, which is the tension of articulation, increases within the range of prevocalic consonants and then decreases within the range of postvocalic consonants. Therefore, the syllable can be defined as an arc of articulatory tension.

182. The point of this theory is that the syllable is a sound or group of the sounds that are pronounced in one chest-pulse. There are as many syllables in a word as there are chest-pulses made during the word.

183. Which is the most common type of syllable in English?

184. Which are syllabic English consonants?

185. This theory is based upon the fact that sounds group themselves according to their sonority. There are as many syllables as there are peaks of prominence of sonority.

186. This theory takes into consideration both levels production and perception. Syllable is an arc of loudness. The peak of the syllable is louder and higher in pitch than the slopes. The organ which is responsible for the variation of loudness is pharynx. There are as many syllables in a word as there are arcs of loudness.
