Monoszóma

Monoszóma is a term of Hungarian origin, meaning "monosyllable" or "one-syllable word". It is used in linguistics and phonetics to describe a word consisting of a single syllable. For example, in English, words like "cat," "dog," and "run" are monoszómák. The concept is important in the study of language structure, rhythm, and poetic meter. The number of syllables in a word can influence its pronunciation, stress patterns, and how it fits into a sentence or verse. Many languages have a significant number of monosyllabic words, which can contribute to the characteristic sound and flow of that language. The analysis of monoszómák is a fundamental aspect of syllabic analysis and phonological research.
