syll_skip.jpg This image displays a linguistic tree diagram illustrating the syllable structure of the word "Skip." The diagram consists of black text and lines on a white background, using a serif typeface similar to Times New Roman. At the very top center is the word 'Skip' enclosed in single quotation marks. Directly below this, connected by a short vertical line, is the Greek letter sigma ($\sigma$), which represents the syllable node. From the bottom of the sigma symbol, two diagonal lines branch out downwards to form the first major split: - The left branch leads to the word "Onset." Below the word "Onset," a V-shaped set of lines connects to two letters at the bottom level: the lowercase letter 's' on the far left and the lowercase letter 'k' next to it. - The right branch leads to the word "Rime." Below the word "Rime," the structure splits again into two sub-components connected by diagonal lines: - On the left is the label "Nucleus." A vertical line extends downward from this word to connect with the uppercase letter 'I' at the bottom. - On the right is the label "Coda." A vertical line extends downward from this word to connect with the lowercase letter 'p' at the bottom. In summary, the diagram breaks down the syllable $\sigma$ into an Onset (s, k) and a Rime. The Rime is further broken down into a Nucleus (I) and a Coda (p). This description was generated automatically.
