Syllabicity

Definition: Syllabicity refers to the quality of a sound or phoneme being able to form a distinct syllable, or the act of assigning syllabic status to a particular sound or segment within a word.

Example sentences:

• 2. The syllabicity of the vowel in the word "elephant" changes based on the dialect.
• 3. In some languages, consonants can have syllabic properties, such as the "n" in the English word "button".
