The pronunciation guide uses the ARPABET phonetic system—the same system used in speech recognition and text-to-speech applications.

Vowel Examples:
AE1 = cat, bat
EH1 = bed, head
IY1 = see, me
OW1 = go, boat
UW1 = boot, do
Stress Numbers:
0 = no stress (unstressed)
1 = primary stress (loud)
2 = secondary stress (medium)
Example:
AH0 TH IY1 N AH0
= a-THEE-na (Athena)

The stressed syllable (marked with 1) is pronounced louder and clearer than others.

Quick Definition

Interlocking sonic patterns—such as assonance, consonance, or internal rhyme—that weave together across lines to create layered auditory texture.

Detailed Definition
Interwoven sound refers to deliberate layering or braiding of sonic elements including alliteration, assonance, consonance, and rhyme throughout a poem's texture. This technique creates dense acoustic patterning where multiple sound relationships overlap, generating richness through phonetic interconnection.
Example
Example in poetry:
Vowel or consonant patterns woven through lines; Assonance and alliteration creating texture; Sonic threads connecting words; Musical sound patterns interlaced
Additional Notes
Sound patterns woven throughout a poem's structure, creating aural texture through overlapping sonic elements rather than isolated effects.
