Elision
Elision is the omission of one or more sounds (such as a
vowel, a
consonant, or a whole
syllable) in a word or phrase, producing a result that is easier for the speaker to pronounce. Sometimes, sounds may be elided for
euphonic effect.Elision is normally unintentional, but it may be deliberate. The result may be impressionistically described as "
slurred" or "
muted."An example of deliberate elision occurs in Latin poetry as a
stylistic device. Under certain circumstances, such as one word ending in a vowel and the following word beginning in a vowel, the words may be elided together. Elision was a common device in the works of
Catullus. For example, the opening line of Catullus 3 is: "Lugete, O Veneres Cupidinesque", but would be read as "Lugeto Veneres Cupidinesque".
