Answer :
A stressed syllable followed by two light syllables is an example of a foot in poetic meter. This type of feet in poetic meter is referred to as 'dactyl'.
According to Wikipedia, 'A dactyl (/ˈdæktɪl/; Greek: δάκτυλος, dáktylos, “finger”) is a foot in poetic meter. In quantitative verse, often used in Greek or Latin, a dactyl is a long syllable followed by two short syllables, as determined by syllable weight. In accentual verse, often used in English, it is a stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables—the opposite is the anapaest (two unstressed followed by a stressed syllable).'
The syllable upon which the prominence falls is said to be Stressed Syllable
Explanation:
- A syllable is defined as a single, uninterrupted sound of a written/spoken word. Prominent syllables emphasise important or new information and form or constitute an essential rhythmical aspect in speech.
- Prominence is ascertained by a mixture of factors comprising vowel length, high pitch accents, amplitude stress, vowel articulation degree, and vocal quality.
- Any blend of these could cause a syllable to be identified as more prominent, at times expressed very finely, however at times prominence is inferred from context and syntax.
- When a word has more than 1 syllable, the single syllable in the word is given more importance than the other syllables.
- This single syllable is regarded to be a stressed syllable. The vowel sound of stressed syllables is emphasised by pronouncing it longer, louder, and usually at a higher pitch than the adjacent syllables.
- Vowel sounds of a stressed syllable is usually phonetic, that is, they are pronounced as the spelling suggests.
