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

A technique that merges different voices into harmony in poetry or music

Detailed Definition
Voice integration in poetry describes the seamless blending of multiple narrative or lyrical voices—such as personal, historical, or fictional—into a unified speaker; this technique enriches perspective while maintaining coherence, often used in polyphonic or documentary poetics to explore collective experience.
Example
Example in poetry:
A poem blending personal and collective voice: “I remember—We remember”; Shifting from “I” to “we” to show communal experience; A lyric where the speaker’s voice merges with nature’s voice; Multiple perspectives unified in a single narrative voice
Additional Notes
Voice integration: The fusion or smooth transition between different speaking voices, perspectives, or rhetorical tones within a single poem, often used in dramatic monologues or narrative poems to show complexity of character or situation.
