Sound change Other uses Syncope disambiguation Syncope In phonology , syncope IPAc en icon s k p i Greek syn koptein to strike, cut off is the loss of one or more sounds from the interior of a word especially, the loss of an unstressed vowel. It is found both in Synchronic analysis of languages and Diachronics . Found synchronically Synchronic analysis is an analysis that views linguistic phenomena only at one point in time. Usually, the present. We find syncope happening within the functioning of modern languages. Here we consider it in three areas Inflection, Poetry, and Informal Speech. In inflections In languages such as Irish language Irish , the process of inflection can precipitate syncope. For example In some verbs Imir To play should become imir m I play . However the addition of the m causes syncope and the second last syllable vowel i is lost. So, Imir becomes Imr m. In some nouns Inis Island should become inise in the genitive case. However, if one looks at road signs one finds not Baile na hInise , but Baile na hInse The town of the Island . Once again the loss is of the second syllable i . It is interesting that if the present root form in Irish is the result of diachronic syncope then there is a resistance to synchronic syncope for inflection . Historically in old Irish, as a rule, syncope happened whenever the addition of and ending gave rise to syncope.
