An unstressed syllable is a syllable within a word that does not receive the same level of emphasis or prominence as the stressed syllable.
In spoken language, unstressed syllables often have a lower pitch, reduced volume, or shorter duration compared to stressed syllables.
The alternation between stressed and unstressed syllables contributes to the rhythm and meter of a language, affecting the overall cadence of speech and poetry. Unstressed syllables play a crucial role in shaping the prosody and musicality of spoken and written language.
