MORE ABOUT DROPPED SYLLABLES

The number of syllables is determinated by the number of rules.

Ex::    NOTE   /nəʊt/ = 1 syllables
        NOTEBOOK    /ˈnəʊtbʊk/ = 2 syllables
        
but sometimes one of the vowels dissappears  and this produces a reduction in the number syllables.


Ex:  DRAMATICALLY    /dra’mǽt.ɪklɪ/
       PRACTICALLY       /ˈprǽktɪkli/
         BASICALLY           /ˈbeɪsɪkli/
       INTRINSICALLY    /ɪnˈtrɪnsɪkli/
       EXTRINSICALLY    /ɪkˈstrɪnsɪkli/
       CHOCOLATE       /ˈtʃɒklət/
