What is publication in syllables

Libel, libel

Word stress is the idea that in a word with more than one syllable, one (or more than one) syllable will be stressed or accented. And the rest will be unstressed, or, unaccented. Notice that I'm using the words 'stress' and 'accent' interchangeably. So, in English, not all syllables are created equal

Describe your situation, include the link referred in the search, and stress that the site has been taken down and the link is now dead. Request that the search information be purged from Google's servers. You may have to repeat this with Yahoo! and other search engines to make sure it gets flushed from the Internet; otherwise the search engines may automatically pick up the search terms related to your situation and put them back up.

If there were any public news reports involved, you may have to contact the publishers and ask them to remove the pages from publicly accessible archives.

A simple solution for this does not exist, since in English there are many exceptions for syllables, and even some words that can be split into syllables in multiple ways.

You should have a look at natural language processing. Natural language processing

Given your list of words, It appears to me that what makes up a syllable is the vowels in the word.. each time 1 or more vowels are separated by 1 or more consonants/symbols, a syllable is born.
so, have an array of characters containing vowels.
now iterate through the given word and create a new syllable(String) by adding the characters you are inspecting until you find a vowel.. now continue to add the vowels you find until you find a consonant/symbol.. that's where your new syllable ends (you can add it to a List if you want or just output it to the command line) ..and if you haven't gone through the entire word yet, create a new syllable(String) and repeat the process.

Good luck

Perl is a great language for this type of problem.

I recommend using Perl, and installing the Lingua::Phonology::Syllable module. Here is a working example:

use Lingua::Phonology;
use Lingua::Phonology::Syllable;
my $phono = Lingua::Phonology->new();
$phono->features->loadfile;
$phono->symbols->loadfile;
# Create a new Syllable object
my $syll = new Lingua::Phonology::Syllable;
# Create an input word
my @word = $phono->symbols->segment('s','h','e','p','h','e','r','d');
# Allow onset clusters and simple codas
$syll->set_complex_onset;
$syll->set_coda;
# Syllabify the word
$syll->syllabify(@word);
my $count = $syll->count_syll;
print "Count: $count\n"; # prints "Count: 2"
# @word now has features set to indicate a syllabification of
# <shep><herd>

'Clown' has only one syllable.
