How do I seperate the word artifact into syllables?

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


English Pronunciation Stressed Syllables within Word Rachel English

the commencement of two or more stressed syllables of a word groupeither with the same consonant sound or sound group (consonantalalliteration) as in from stem to stern, or with a vowel sound that maydiffer from syllable to syllable (vocalic alliteration) as in each to all. Compare consonance (def 4a).
2. the commencement of two or more words of a word group with thesame letter, as in apt alliteration's artful aid.

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>

(sounds like a school assignment to me) ;-)

-count (& save) the 3 characters (1st syllable).
-start at position 4 (3+1 chars) in the string.
-count (& save) the 3 characters (2nd syllable).
-start at position 7 (6+1 chars) in the string.
-count (& save) the 3 characters (3rd syllable).

Logic:

-Initialize syllable-counter (x) to 1, position-counter to 1 (z).
-Initialize syl(x) strings to Null, where x = 1 to 3.
-Assign "dangerous" to string variable.

z = 1
y = 1
x = 1
string = "DANGEROUS"

For x = 1 to 3 DO
*Comment. read 3 chars (in a loop), add them to Syl (x).
For y = 1 to 3 DO
read a char(y) from the string at position-counter(z)
syl(x) = syl(x) + char(y)
z = z + 1
END DO
END DO


NOTE: not 100%, but close.

'Clown' has only one syllable.
