Syllabic Consonants
Syllabic consonants are consonants that make up a syllable without the accompaniment of vowels. In phonetic transcription, syllabic consonants are indicated by drawing a short vertical line below them. It is easy to remember the four consonants which are involved in syllabic consonants; /t/, /d/, /n/ and /l/. They are formed with the tip of the tongue touching the alveolar ridge. Syllabic consonants occur when a syllable ennds in /t/, /d/ or /n/ and the next syllable is unstressed and contains an /l/ or an /n/.
Examples:
Cotton - Sudden
- Button - Wouldn't -
Important - Couldn't -
Kitten - Written- Shouldn't -
Little
