VOWELLED Meaning and Definition

  1. Vowelled (adjective) refers to a word or term that contains vowels or has been provided with vowels. It is the past participle form of the verb "vowel," which means to pronounce or add vowels to a word or phrase.

    When a word is vowelled, it means that each vowel sound is explicitly represented or marked within the term. In languages that utilize alphabets or scripts, such as English, French, or Spanish, vowels are typically represented by specific letters (such as 'a,' 'e,' 'i,' 'o,' 'u' in English) or other diacritical marks. However, certain languages have limited vowel representation in their written form and may require additional symbols or marks to indicate vowels accurately. In such cases, vowelling becomes necessary to aid in pronunciation, particularly for learners or to provide clarity in written texts.

    Vowelling is an essential aspect of language learning, as it helps to indicate the correct pronunciation and meaning of words. In linguistics, vowelling is often applied in the study of phonetics and phonology, where it enables scholars to analyze and transcribe vocal sounds with precision. The process of vowelling can involve either adding vowel letters to a word or marking existing vowel sounds within it, typically through the use of diacritical marks or vowel symbols.

  2. Furnished with or having vowels.
