Definition of diaeresis in English English dictionary

The separation of a vowel, often a diphthong, into two distinct syllables

A natural break in rhythm when a word ends at the end of a metrical foot, in a line of verse

A diacritic placed over a vowel letter indicating that it is sounded separately, usually forming a distinct syllable, as in naïve, Noël, Brontë

A diacritic ( ¨ ) placed over the second of two consecutive vowels to indicate that the second vowel is to be pronounced separately from the preceding vowel (as in the girls' given name of Zoë). It does not indicate a diphthong, but rather that each vowel has its full quality, within the sound-context. Now an uncommon practice in English, but still used in some other languages (e.g. French: , Dutch: )

{i} two dots above the second of two consecutive vowels (indicates separate pronunciation of each vowel)
