A tonic syllable, also known as a stressed syllable, is the syllable within a word that receives greater emphasis or force in pronunciation.
In spoken language, the tonic syllable typically involves a higher pitch, increased volume, or longer duration compared to unstressed syllables.
The pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables contributes to the rhythm and meter of a language. Tonic syllables play a crucial role in poetry, music, and spoken communication, influencing the overall cadence and flow of spoken words.
