“In reading dissyllables, trissyllables, &c. it will be easy for teachers to make⟳ their scholars understand⟳, that instead of the division, they should substitute the simple or articulated sound⟳ which is represented by the letters that are annexed to it, and read⟳ the word all together: and that these divisions are inserted only for the sake of facilitating the syllabisation, if I may be allowed the expression.”

“This in print⟳, I must say⟳, does not look⟳ very promising as a rendering of a Pigeon’s note⟳, but pronounced (as the natives do it) in a sort⟳ of throaty whisper⟳, it is quite suggestive of the call⟳, though not so actually like⟳ it as the “Biti-fin” phrase, or as is the syllabisation which appeals most to my ears—“Too-too: tutta-tutt-too.””

“Syllabisation shown by use⟳ of hyphens; accented syllables in italics.”

“Another important point⟳ to note⟳ is that we might expect⟳ IDyOM to do rather better at modelling morphemes rather than syllables; and indeed, inspection of the results in the figure⟳ and the wider corpus do support⟳ that: false positives in the syllabisation task are often (though not always) at morpheme boundaries.[…]This leads me to the unastonishing prediction that the STM alone would work⟳ very poorly for syllabisation, because it will not learn⟳ from the corpus, but only from the prefix of each utterance as it proceeds.”
