90-461: Herlufsholm has been co-educational since the 1960s for day students, as of 1985 for boarding pupils. The student body currently exceeds 600 students, of which approximately 275 students are boarders who live in the dormitories. The pupils follow a 10-day programme with lessons on Saturdays followed by 3-day weekends. The school offers a range of education: from 6th grade in the Danish lower-secondary school;

180-615: A First Language, Second Language, Mathematics and one or more subjects in the Sciences. Traditionally, Pearson Edexcel and especially Cambridge have a dominance in International GCSEs. Cambridge IGCSE exams are conducted in three sessions: February/March (India only), May/June and October/November, and the results are released in May, August and January respectively. The exams are set by Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE), which

270-448: A double-buttoned blazer, while students in the preparatory class (10th grade) as well as all high school students wear the single-row, school blazer with the Gøye arms on the chest. All students have to buy the two school ties, which they are obliged to wear with their blazer. The "Herlovianerslips" (Herlovian Tie) is coloured in blue and silver/white diagonal stripes running down the tie from

360-540: A final [j] sound can be moved to the next syllable in enchainement, sometimes with a gemination: e.g., non ne ho mai avuti ('I've never had any of them') is broken into syllables as [non.neˈɔ.ma.jaˈvuːti] and io ci vado e lei anche ('I go there and she does as well') is realized as [jo.tʃiˈvaːdo.e.lɛjˈjaŋ.ke] . A related phenomenon, called consonant mutation, is found in the Celtic languages like Irish and Welsh, whereby unwritten (but historical) final consonants affect

450-517: A glottal stop be inserted between a word and a following, putatively vowel-initial word. Yet such words are perceived to begin with a vowel in German but a glottal stop in Arabic. The reason for this has to do with other properties of the two languages. For example, a glottal stop does not occur in other situations in German, e.g. before a consonant or at the end of word. On the other hand, in Arabic, not only does

540-499: A glottal stop is inserted – indicates whether the word should be considered to have a null onset. For example, many Romance languages such as Spanish never insert such a glottal stop, while English does so only some of the time, depending on factors such as conversation speed; in both cases, this suggests that the words in question are truly vowel-initial. But there are exceptions here, too. For example, standard German (excluding many southern accents) and Arabic both require that

630-435: A glottal stop occur in such situations (e.g. Classical /saʔala/ "he asked", /raʔj/ "opinion", /dˤawʔ/ "light"), but it occurs in alternations that are clearly indicative of its phonemic status (cf. Classical /kaːtib/ "writer" vs. /mak tuːb/ "written", /ʔaːkil/ "eater" vs. /maʔkuːl/ "eaten"). In other words, while the glottal stop is predictable in German (inserted only if a stressed syllable would otherwise begin with

720-439: A linear one, between the syllable constituents. One hierarchical model groups the syllable nucleus and coda into an intermediate level, the rime . The hierarchical model accounts for the role that the nucleus + coda constituent plays in verse (i.e., rhyming words such as cat and bat are formed by matching both the nucleus and coda, or the entire rime), and for the distinction between heavy and light syllables , which plays

810-455: A medial contrast between /i/ and /j/ , where the /i/ functions phonologically as a glide rather than as part of the nucleus. In addition, many reconstructions of both Old and Middle Chinese include complex medials such as /rj/ , /ji/ , /jw/ and /jwi/ . The medial groups phonologically with the rime rather than the onset, and the combination of medial and rime is collectively known as the final . Some linguists, especially when discussing

900-554: A minimum of grade is often required for the admission. During the COVID-19 pandemic , all IGCSE examinations due to take place in May/June 2020 were cancelled, along with GCSE and A-Level exams that year. As of 31 March 2020, the CAIE had decided to guide schools to predict students' grades through evidence like mock examination results. On 30 April 2020, Pearson Edexcel announced that grades for

990-507: A monastery, the pupils are referred to internally as disciples; but they are also called Herlovianere (Herlovians) and former students are thereby Gammelherlovianere (Old Herlovians). The members of teaching staff go by the name "hører" which is Danish for "hearer" and many of them gain nicknames that some even go by in the classrooms. The headmaster and his wife are known as "Heis and Mia" respectively. A number of senior year students are appointed prefects in every house. A day at Herlufsholm

1080-456: A phonemic glottal stop (the sound in the middle of English uh-oh or, in some dialects, the double T in button , represented in the IPA as /ʔ/ ). In English, a word that begins with a vowel may be pronounced with an epenthetic glottal stop when following a pause, though the glottal stop may not be a phoneme in the language. Few languages make a phonemic distinction between a word beginning with

1170-542: A role in phonological processes such as, for example, sound change in Old English scipu and wordu , where in a process called high vowel deletion (HVD), the nominative/accusative plural of single light-syllable roots (like "*scip-") got a "u" ending in OE, whereas heavy syllable roots (like "*word-") would not, giving "scip-u" but "word-∅". In some traditional descriptions of certain languages such as Cree and Ojibwe ,

1260-540: A seventh subject which can be selected from any Group. The ICE is awarded in three categories: In addition, to award top candidates, Cambridge awards "Outstanding Achievement Awards" in the categories of "top in country" and "top in world" for each subject. Edexcel International GCSE exams used to be conducted in June and January. From the academic year starting September 2023, Edexcel International GCSE exams are conducted in June and November. The last session for January Exams

1350-467: A significant number forbid any heavy syllable. Some languages strive for constant syllable weight; for example, in stressed, non-final syllables in Italian , short vowels co-occur with closed syllables while long vowels co-occur with open syllables, so that all such syllables are heavy (not light or superheavy). The difference between heavy and light frequently determines which syllables receive stress – this

1440-444: A single syllable (like English dog ) is called a monosyllable (and is said to be monosyllabic ). Similar terms include disyllable (and disyllabic ; also bisyllable and bisyllabic ) for a word of two syllables; trisyllable (and trisyllabic ) for a word of three syllables; and polysyllable (and polysyllabic ), which may refer either to a word of more than three syllables or to any word of more than one syllable. Syllable

1530-493: A syllabic nucleus. A few languages have so-called syllabic fricatives , also known as fricative vowels , at the phonemic level. (In the context of Chinese phonology , the related but non-synonymous term apical vowel is commonly used.) Mandarin Chinese is famous for having such sounds in at least some of its dialects, for example the pinyin syllables sī shī rī , usually pronounced [sź̩ ʂʐ̩́ ʐʐ̩́] , respectively. Though, like

1620-495: A syllable break, for example in the word "understood" ⟨ /ʌndərˈstʊd/ ⟩ (though the syllable boundary may still be explicitly marked with a full stop, e.g. ⟨ /ʌn.dər.ˈstʊd/ ⟩). When a word space comes in the middle of a syllable (that is, when a syllable spans words), a tie bar ⟨ ‿ ⟩ can be used for liaison , as in the French combination les amis ⟨ /lɛ.z‿a.mi/ ⟩. The liaison tie

1710-440: A syllable-final /r/ , which is not normally found, while /hʌ.ri/ gives a syllable-final short stressed vowel, which is also non-occurring. Arguments can be made in favour of one solution or the other: A general rule has been proposed that states that "Subject to certain conditions ..., consonants are syllabified with the more strongly stressed of two flanking syllables", while many other phonologists prefer to divide syllables with

1800-452: A third type of superheavy syllable , which consists of VVC syllables (with both a branching nucleus and rime) or VCC syllables (with a coda consisting of two or more consonants) or both. In moraic theory , heavy syllables are said to have two moras, while light syllables are said to have one and superheavy syllables are said to have three. Japanese phonology is generally described this way. Many languages forbid superheavy syllables, while

1890-609: A typical North American high school curriculum. According to many of these educators, the IGCSE curriculum may be more advanced than a typical North American secondary school course by at least one year. For some years in Italy many high schools have joined a Cambridge Schools Network, becoming Cambridge International Schools. The aim of these schools is to get students IGCSE and As & A Level certifications. Some Italian Universities as well accept both IGCSE and AS & A Level certifications, but

1980-621: A vowel and a word beginning with a glottal stop followed by a vowel, since the distinction will generally only be audible following another word. However, Maltese and some Polynesian languages do make such a distinction, as in Hawaiian /ahi/ ('fire') and /ʔahi / ← /kahi/ ('tuna') and Maltese /∅/ ← Arabic /h/ and Maltese /k~ʔ/ ← Arabic /q/ . Ashkenazi and Sephardi Hebrew may commonly ignore א , ה and ע , and Arabic forbid empty onsets. The names Israel , Abel , Abraham , Omar , Abdullah , and Iraq appear not to have onsets in

2070-538: A vowel), the same sound is a regular consonantal phoneme in Arabic. The status of this consonant in the respective writing systems corresponds to this difference: there is no reflex of the glottal stop in German orthography , but there is a letter in the Arabic alphabet ( Hamza ( ء )). The writing system of a language may not correspond with the phonological analysis of the language in terms of its handling of (potentially) null onsets. For example, in some languages written in

2160-514: A white band and tails, and a white, high waisted, floor-length dress with pleats and gold buttons. Prefects, all senior year, wear the Trolle crest instead of the Gøye shield worn by the rest of the school. Full Galla is the uniform used in festivities and solemnity. The correct full galla, consists of a dark blue, double-breasted suit or with a comely skirt, and the Gøyeslips on a white shirt. This uniform

2250-474: A whole number of syllables: for example, the word ignite is made of two syllables: ig and nite . Syllabic writing began several hundred years before the first letters . The earliest recorded syllables are on tablets written around 2800 BC in the Sumerian city of Ur . This shift from pictograms to syllables has been called "the most important advance in the history of writing ". A word that consists of

2340-452: A word-final consonant to a vowel beginning the word immediately following it forms a regular part of the phonetics of some languages, including Spanish, Hungarian, and Turkish. Thus, in Spanish, the phrase los hombres ('the men') is pronounced [loˈsom.bɾes] , Hungarian az ember ('the human') as [ɒˈzɛm.bɛr] , and Turkish nefret ettim ('I hated it') as [nefˈɾe.tet.tim] . In Italian,

Up until the middle of the 20th century most of the teaching took place here, but now less than half the school's classrooms are located here. The third most important building is Museumsbygningen ("Museum Building"), which contains another two dormitories, the science department, the biology department and

The exams are set by Edexcel which also sets GCSE exams in the UK. Oxford AQA International GCSE exams are conducted in May/June and November. The exams are set by Oxford AQA(Oxford International AQA Examinations), which is a joint venture between AQA which sets GCSE exams in

2610-417: Is a syllabic consonant . In most Germanic languages , lax vowels can occur only in closed syllables. Therefore, these vowels are also called checked vowels , as opposed to the tense vowels that are called free vowels because they can occur even in open syllables. The notion of syllable is challenged by languages that allow long strings of obstruents without any intervening vowel or sonorant . By far

2700-449: Is a basic unit of organization within a sequence of speech sounds , such as within a word, typically made up of a syllable nucleus (most often a vowel ) with optional initial and final margins (typically, consonants ). Syllables are often considered the phonological "building blocks" of words . They can influence the rhythm of a language, its prosody , its poetic metre and its stress patterns. Speech can usually be divided up into

2790-427: Is also used to join lexical words into phonological words , for example hot dog ⟨ /ˈhɒt‿dɒɡ/ ⟩. A Greek sigma, ⟨σ⟩ , is used as a wild card for 'syllable', and a dollar/peso sign, ⟨$ ⟩ , marks a syllable boundary where the usual fullstop might be misunderstood. For example, ⟨σσ⟩ is a pair of syllables, and ⟨V$ ⟩ is a syllable-final vowel. In

2880-424: Is an Anglo-Norman variation of Old French sillabe , from Latin syllaba , from Koine Greek συλλαβή syllabḗ ( Greek pronunciation: [sylːabɛ̌ː] ). συλλαβή means "the taken together", referring to letters that are taken together to make a single sound. συλλαβή is a verbal noun from the verb συλλαμβάνω syllambánō , a compound of the preposition σύν sýn "with" and

2970-589: Is an English language based secondary qualification similar to the GCSE and is recognised in the United Kingdom as being equivalent to the GCSE for the purposes of recognising prior attainment. It was developed by Cambridge Assessment International Education . The examination boards Edexcel , Learning Resource Network (LRN), and Oxford AQA also offer their own versions of International GCSEs. Students normally begin studying

3060-547: Is centered on a sky blue, button-down shirt with the Gøye family crest on the chest pocket. Students are free to combine this shirt with charcoal-grey or blue pants/skirts and pullovers - light colour variations are banned and so is black. Though, denim is not accepted in class, the students are otherwise free to wear clothes of their liking as long as it is without large prints, patterns and logos. Furthermore, students are allowed to wear classic coats, sensible black footwear and inconspicuous belts. The correct half galla, consists of

3150-512: Is either a closed syllable that ends in a consonant, or a syllable with a branching nucleus , i.e. a long vowel or diphthong . The name is a metaphor, based on the nucleus or coda having lines that branch in a tree diagram. In some languages, heavy syllables include both VV (branching nucleus) and VC (branching rime) syllables, contrasted with V, which is a light syllable . In other languages, only VV syllables are considered heavy, while both VC and V syllables are light. Some languages distinguish

3240-538: Is not, and sk- is possible but ks- is not. In Greek , however, both ks- and tl- are possible onsets, while contrarily in Classical Arabic no multiconsonant onsets are allowed at all. Some languages forbid null onsets . In these languages, words beginning in a vowel, like the English word at , are impossible. This is less strange than it may appear at first, as most such languages allow syllables to begin with

3330-457: Is originally Herlovian for Svane + Ælling (Swan + duckling). So far two dictionaries have been published. Herlufsholm has a long list of traditions. The two biggest events of the year are: Trolle-morgen is on January 14 being the founder's birthday, is a major event, as many old students return to the school on that day to commemorate their founding father in the dark hour of early morning. Fugleskydning ("bird-shooting") in mid-August starts

3420-570: Is part of Cambridge Assessment that also includes OCR , a UK GCSE examination board. As of January 2021, there are over 70 subjects available and schools can offer them in any combination. The Cambridge examination board offers an ICE (International Certificate in Education) group qualification for candidates who achieve 7 subject passes across the following groups: The certificate is awarded to candidates who pass in seven IGCSE subjects — two Group 1 subjects, one subject from each of Groups 2–5, and

3510-446: Is structured around the three daily meals, school before and after midday, and the private 2 hour study session on either side of the evening dinner; boarding students furthermore have specific timings for going to bed depending on their year. Every morning after the first session of lectures, the school gathers in the church or the gym hall to get an update on current matters of interest and sing from their personal songbooks. Herlufsholm

3600-478: Is the case in Latin and Arabic , for example. The system of poetic meter in many classical languages, such as Classical Greek , Classical Latin , Old Tamil and Sanskrit , is based on syllable weight rather than stress (so-called quantitative rhythm or quantitative meter ). Syllabification is the separation of a word into syllables, whether spoken or written. In most languages, the actually spoken syllables are

3690-547: Is the only school in Denmark with a compulsory uniform. Every student for 6th to 12th grade, boarding and day students, must wear the uniform in school - except at gym class where a sports uniform is used. The school has two uniform systems: Half and Full Galla. Students are required to wear jackets on special occasions, e.g. exams and traditional festivities, but many choose to do so on other days as well for practical reasons such as cold weather. Students in middle-school, 6th-9th, wear

3780-468: Is used at the Trollemorgen and formal school dinner parties, where the tie is replaced with a bowtie for boys; or as a whole for girls who wear galla dresses. In their senior year, male students often wear a white bowtie, especially at graduation where the white corresponds nicely with the Danish student cap. A unique characteristic of the school is that the students have developed their own language called

3870-421: Is used. One analysis would consider all vowel and consonant segments as syllable nuclei, another would consider only a small subset ( fricatives or sibilants ) as nuclei candidates, and another would simply deny the existence of syllables completely. However, when working with recordings rather than transcriptions, the syllables can be obvious in such languages, and native speakers have strong intuitions as to what

3960-419: Is usually the portion of a syllable from the first vowel to the end. For example, /æt/ is the rime of all of the words at , sat , and flat . However, the nucleus does not necessarily need to be a vowel in some languages, such as English. For instance, the rime of the second syllables of the words bottle and fiddle is just /l/ , a liquid consonant . Just as the rime branches into the nucleus and coda,

4050-515: The Arrernte language of central Australia may prohibit onsets altogether; if so, all syllables have the underlying shape VC(C). The difference between a syllable with a null onset and one beginning with a glottal stop is often purely a difference of phonological analysis, rather than the actual pronunciation of the syllable. In some cases, the pronunciation of a (putatively) vowel-initial word when following another word – particularly, whether or not

4140-537: The Latin alphabet , an initial glottal stop is left unwritten (see the German example); on the other hand, some languages written using non-Latin alphabets such as abjads and abugidas have a special zero consonant to represent a null onset. As an example, in Hangul , the alphabet of the Korean language , a null onset is represented with ㅇ at the left or top section of a grapheme , as in 역 "station", pronounced yeok , where

The IGCSE prepares students for further academic study, including progression to A Level and BTEC Level 3 study, Cambridge Pre-U , IB Diploma Programme and other equivalents. It is recognised by academic institutions and employers around the world and is considered by many institutions as equivalent to

4320-428: The diphthong yeo is the nucleus and k is the coda. [REDACTED] The nucleus is usually the vowel in the middle of a syllable. Generally, every syllable requires a nucleus (sometimes called the peak ), and the minimal syllable consists only of a nucleus, as in the English words "eye" or "owe". The syllable nucleus is usually a vowel, in the form of a monophthong , diphthong , or triphthong , but sometimes

4410-407: The herlovianersprog . Words are created by simply taking the first and last syllables of a word and making a portmanteau of the two. So for instance, skolebygning ("school building") becomes skygning . Even though the language is exclusively used at Herlufsholm, some words have been adopted into Danish. For instance "svælling" ( cygnet ), which had not previously featured as a word in Danish,

In their senior year, corresponding to 12th grade, male students wear a peaked cap with a pilgrims' scallop on oak leaves, and white pants as was previously tradition among senior navy cadets. Female students wear a dark blue sailor hat made of straw with

4680-468: The IGCSE were private international schools for expatriate children around the world. However, in the 2010s, an increasing number of independent schools within the United Kingdom also began offering IGCSEs as an alternative to conventional English GCSEs for international IGCSE subjects, on the supposed basis that it is more challenging than the national curriculum. A comparison between GCSEs and IGCSEs

4770-641: The May/June 2020 exam would be calculated using information from schools. Schools were asked to provide an assessment grade for each student, as well as a ranked order of students within each grade by 29 May 2020. For the June 2021 exam series, CAIE plans for exams to go ahead in countries that are permitted and safe, and countries where exams cannot take place due to government directives will switch to school-assessed grades using evidence like student coursework and mock exam results. There are also adjustments, exemptions, and special considerations available for schools that applies for them. Syllable A syllable

4860-527: The UK and Oxford University Press (OUP). LRN International GCSE exams are conducted in December, March and June. Before changes to GCSE first taken in 2017, the IGCSE was often considered to be more similar to the older O-Levels qualification than the current GCSE in England , and for this reason was often argued to be a more rigorous and more difficult examination. Before the early 2010s, most schools offering

Ofqual allowed the use of Cambridge IGCSE exams under the name of "Cambridge International Certificates". Initially, 16 Cambridge IGCSE syllabuses received UK government accreditation. Following that, the UK government announced that the 16 accredited Cambridge IGCSE syllabuses could also be funded in state-maintained schools. Subsequently, Cambridge IGCSE German and Spanish were also accredited and funded, taking

5040-408: The above definition. [REDACTED] In some theories of phonology, syllable structures are displayed as tree diagrams (similar to the trees found in some types of syntax). Not all phonologists agree that syllables have internal structure; in fact, some phonologists doubt the existence of the syllable as a theoretical entity. There are many arguments for a hierarchical relationship, rather than

5130-476: The basis of syllabification in writing too. Due to the very weak correspondence between sounds and letters in the spelling of modern English, for example, written syllabification in English has to be based mostly on etymological i.e. morphological instead of phonetic principles. English written syllables therefore do not correspond to the actually spoken syllables of the living language. Phonotactic rules determine which sounds are allowed or disallowed in each part of

5220-435: The beginning of a syllable, occurring before the nucleus . Most syllables have an onset. Syllables without an onset may be said to have an empty or zero onset – that is, nothing where the onset would be. Some languages restrict onsets to be only a single consonant, while others allow multiconsonant onsets according to various rules. For example, in English, onsets such as pr- , pl- and tr- are possible but tl-

In 2018, 91% of IGCSE UK entries in core subjects were in private schools , and about 75% for all subjects.

However, an alternative that has received some support is to treat an intervocalic consonant as ambisyllabic , i.e. belonging both to the preceding and to the following syllable: /hʌṛi/ . This is discussed in more detail in English phonology § Phonotactics . The onset (also known as anlaut ) is the consonant sound or sounds at

Conversely,

5580-454: The initial consonant of the following word. There can be disagreement about the location of some divisions between syllables in spoken language. The problems of dealing with such cases have been most commonly discussed with relation to English. In the case of a word such as hurry , the division may be /hʌr.i/ or /hʌ.ri/ , neither of which seems a satisfactory analysis for a non-rhotic accent such as RP (British English): /hʌr.i/ results in

5670-634: The medial. These four segments are grouped into two slightly different components: In many languages of the Mainland Southeast Asia linguistic area , such as Chinese , the syllable structure is expanded to include an additional, optional medial segment located between the onset (often termed the initial in this context) and the rime. The medial is normally a semivowel , but reconstructions of Old Chinese generally include liquid medials ( /r/ in modern reconstructions, /l/ in older versions), and many reconstructions of Middle Chinese include

5760-402: The modern Chinese varieties, use the terms "final" and "rime" interchangeably. In historical Chinese phonology , however, the distinction between "final" (including the medial) and "rime" (not including the medial) is important in understanding the rime dictionaries and rime tables that form the primary sources for Middle Chinese , and as a result most authors distinguish the two according to

The couple changed the name into Herlufsholm and founded the school in May 1565, but Herluf Trolle never saw their dream materialise because he was fatally wounded on sea during the Great Northern War ; he died in Copenhagen in June 1565. Herlufsholm has evolved over a couple of centuries, with many characteristic changes in

5940-671: The most common syllabic consonants are sonorants like [l] , [r] , [m] , [n] or [ŋ] , as in English bott le , ch ur ch (in rhotic accents), rhyth m , butt on and lock ' n key . However, English allows syllabic obstruents in a few para-verbal onomatopoeic utterances such as shh (used to command silence) and psst (used to attract attention). All of these have been analyzed as phonemically syllabic. Obstruent-only syllables also occur phonetically in some prosodic situations when unstressed vowels elide between obstruents, as in potato [pʰˈteɪɾəʊ] and today [tʰˈdeɪ] , which do not change in their number of syllables despite losing

Old and new students meet at the school to shoot down a wooden bird on a pole with bows and arrows. A May 2022 TV 2 documentary revealed evidence, including testimony and video, of a culture of bullying and sexual abuse directed at young students; the documentary provoked an emotional reaction in Denmark. In response, Education Minister Pernille Rosenkrantz-Theil

6120-404: The nucleus and coda may each branch into multiple phonemes . The limit for the number of phonemes which may be contained in each varies by language. For example, Japanese and most Sino-Tibetan languages do not have consonant clusters at the beginning or end of syllables, whereas many Eastern European languages can have more than two consonants at the beginning or end of the syllable. In English,

6210-429: The nucleus of rhotic English church , there is debate over whether these nuclei are consonants or vowels. Languages of the northwest coast of North America, including Salishan , Wakashan and Chinookan languages, allow stop consonants and voiceless fricatives as syllables at the phonemic level, in even the most careful enunciation. An example is Chinook [ɬtʰpʰt͡ʃʰkʰtʰ] 'those two women are coming this way out of

6300-473: The nucleus, and the coda (literally 'tail') is the sound or sounds that follow the nucleus. They are sometimes collectively known as the shell . The term rime covers the nucleus plus coda. In the one-syllable English word cat , the nucleus is a (the sound that can be shouted or sung on its own), the onset c , the coda t , and the rime at . This syllable can be abstracted as a consonant-vowel-consonant syllable, abbreviated CVC . Languages vary greatly in

6390-411: The onset may have up to three consonants, and the coda four. Rime and rhyme are variants of the same word, but the rarer form rime is sometimes used to mean specifically syllable rime to differentiate it from the concept of poetic rhyme . This distinction is not made by some linguists and does not appear in most dictionaries. A heavy syllable is generally one with a branching rime , i.e. it

6480-531: The optional 10th grade; the three grades in upper-secondary school and the international programs: a preparatory class (1–2 year) with IGCSE exams and the International Baccalaureate Programme . Herlufsholm is built on the site of a Benedictine monastery, founded in 1135, of which the church and a few other remnants are preserved and in daily use by the students and staff. The monastery was originally called Sct. Peder’s Monastery, but over

6570-503: The past 50 years. The school campus still retains a Gothic appearance thanks to the former abbey church and the adjoining building, Klosterbygningen ("Monastery Building"), of which the only original part remaining is the cellars – the present building is from the 1870s. Klosterbygningen consists of the church (in which the students gather in the morning), two dining halls, a ballroom, the provost apartment, music studies, washing facilities and other amenities. The second largest building

6660-426: The restrictions on the sounds making up the onset, nucleus and coda of a syllable, according to what is termed a language's phonotactics . Although every syllable has supra-segmental features, these are usually ignored if not semantically relevant, e.g. in tonal languages . In the syllable structure of Sinitic languages , the onset is replaced with an initial, and a semivowel or liquid forms another segment, called

6750-460: The school's collection of historical scientific apparatus and specimens of animal species, many now endangered, in a collection dating back to the 1870s. The campus also holds a library from 1911, a small hospital, the principal's house, a few house for teachers and various other service and administrative buildings. The rest of the classrooms are located in Gymnasiefløjen where the teaching of

6840-442: The secondary school pupils takes place. The Gymnasium Building is connected to the principal's office, the staffroom and Helenhallen , which is the second largest gym, also containing a stage. The 10 school houses are: The newest dormitory Bodil-Gården finished construction in 2010, houses the youngest boarding pupils, and is one of the three mixed-gender dorms along with Lassengården and Vuggestuen. Because of its origin as

6930-653: The standard GCSE. The IGCSE exam is widely used in international schools. Students in Hong Kong can take the Cambridge exam board as well as the Edexcel exam board, either at their school or registering through the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority (HKEAA) as individual candidates. The IGCSE exam is widely used in schools which teaching medium is English and adopt IGCSE curriculum. Students in some international schools (Macau Anglican College, School of Nations, and Generations International School) can take

7020-411: The syllable is considered left-branching, i.e. onset and nucleus group below a higher-level unit, called a "body" or "core". This contrasts with the coda. The rime or rhyme of a syllable consists of a nucleus and an optional coda . It is the part of the syllable used in most poetic rhymes , and the part that is lengthened or stressed when a person elongates or stresses a word in speech. The rime

7110-446: The syllable. English allows very complicated syllables; syllables may begin with up to three consonants (as in strength ), and occasionally end with as many as four (as in angsts , pronounced [æŋsts]). Many other languages are much more restricted; Japanese , for example, only allows /ɴ/ and a chroneme in a coda, and theoretically has no consonant clusters at all, as the onset is composed of at most one consonant. The linking of

7200-438: The syllabus at the beginning of Year 10 and take the test at the end of Year 11 . However, in some international schools, students can begin studying the syllabus at the beginning of Year 9 and take the test at the end of Year 10. The qualifications are based on individual subjects of study, which means that one receives an “IGCSE” qualification for each subject one takes. Typical “core” subjects for IGCSE candidates include

7290-553: The total number of accredited and funded Cambridge IGCSEs to 18. For accreditation purposes, the syllabuses are referenced as "Cambridge International Certificates" in the UK, although they are known across the world as Cambridge IGCSEs. The IGCSE is offered by two examination boards in the UK, one being Edexcel, and the other one being AQA. However, from 2017 the government decided to exclude IGCSEs from official performance tables, and consequentially entries from state schools have fallen. So that whilst "international GCSEs no longer meet

7380-433: The typical theory of syllable structure, the general structure of a syllable (σ) consists of three segments. These segments are grouped into two components: The syllable is usually considered right-branching, i.e. nucleus and coda are grouped together as a "rime" and are only distinguished at the second level. The nucleus is usually the vowel in the middle of a syllable. The onset is the sound or sounds occurring before

7470-481: The verb λαμβάνω lambánō "take". The noun uses the root λαβ- , which appears in the aorist tense; the present tense stem λαμβάν- is formed by adding a nasal infix ⟨ μ ⟩ ⟨m⟩ before the β b and a suffix -αν -an at the end. In the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), the fullstop ⟨ . ⟩ marks syllable breaks, as in

7560-490: The water'. Linguists have analyzed this situation in various ways, some arguing that such syllables have no nucleus at all and some arguing that the concept of "syllable" cannot clearly be applied at all to these languages. Other examples: In Bagemihl's survey of previous analyses, he finds that the Bella Coola word /t͡sʼktskʷt͡sʼ/ 'he arrived' would have been parsed into 0, 2, 3, 5, or 6 syllables depending on which analysis

7650-445: The wearer's left. The "Gøyeslips" (Gøye Tie) is full coloured, dark blue tie with the Gøye family crest, three pilgrims' scallops. Previously, there existed a corresponding "Trolleslips" (Trolle Tie) with the Trolle family crest, a beheaded, red troll; but it has gone out of production for reasons unknown. Half Galla is the ordinary day uniform, dating back to the 1950s, used in school as well as less formal festivities. The uniform

7740-412: The word "astronomical" ⟨ /ˌæs.trə.ˈnɒm.ɪk.əl/ ⟩. In practice, however, IPA transcription is typically divided into words by spaces, and often these spaces are also understood to be syllable breaks. In addition, the stress mark ⟨ ˈ ⟩ is placed immediately before a stressed syllable, and when the stressed syllable is in the middle of a word, in practice, the stress mark also marks

7830-620: The years it became known as Skovkloster . It was seized by King Christian III of Denmark during the Reformation in Denmark–Norway and Holstein in 1536. The king allowed the monks to remain, and the last monk left the monastery in 1559 in favour of another monastery in the close by city of Sorø . Danish naval officer and hero, Admiral of the Fleet Herluf Trolle (1516–1565) and his wife Birgitte Gøye (1511–1574) took possession of

7920-417: Was added for students that can “demonstrate sustained performance in higher-level maths skills such as reasoning, proof and problem-solving.” The qualification is recognised by many institutions in the world. It also allows further vocational education and is often considered the baseline for employment. Its academic worth is comparable to many secondary school curricula worldwide, such as England's GCSE ,

8010-609: Was conducted by the Department of Education in 2019. The study found that it was easier to achieve a grade A in English Language and English Literature in IGCSEs but harder to achieve a grade A in science subjects. Most other subjects were roughly equivalent. At one point in time, the “A*” grade in the GCSE did not exist but was later added to recognise the very top end of achievement. In the case of Further Mathematics , an extra A* grade

8100-671: Was summoned to a closed session of parliament , and the school's board sacked its principal and abolished the prefect system. The entire board resigned the following month after sanctions and strong criticism from Denmark's National Agency for Education and Quality. The Danish royal family also announced that they were withdrawing Crown Prince Christian from the school.
