What is the role of the syllable as one of the basic building blocks of verbal communication?
Words are made up of syllables, and we need them to communicate with others through language. Additionally, by emphasizing or deemphasizing certain syllables, we can add another dimension to communication that could not be experienced if another simply read the words we might speak to communicate. Our ability to talk to another individual and use the subtle changes in emphasis will tell another person things not evident in just the words themselves.
