<human>:  I have a question about the book “The Language Instinct” by Elizabeth Hopper. What is the difference between a syllable and a phoneme?
<bot>: A syllable is a unit of a language that is pronounced by a human. A phoneme is a unit of a language that is a unit of sound. For example, the word “cat” has two syllables, but it has three phonemes: /k/, /a/, and /t/.
