I needed the scansion for the word "Cordelia"

I believe cordelia is /-/- stressed unstressed stressed unstressed let me know if my thought process is right

I appreciate any help!

The name "Cordelia" is usually pronounced with THREE syllables, not four.

By itself, this one word is an example of an amphimacer ( / * / ):

Hmm. I was unfamiliar with this term, so I looked it up. It appears that

aphimacer is long short long
Amphibrachic is sort long short

Your thought process is on the right track! To determine the scansion of the word "Cordelia," you need to identify which syllables are stressed (marked with /) and which are unstressed (marked with -). Here's how you can do it:

1. Start by identifying the vowel sound in each syllable of the word: cor-del-i-a.
2. Determine the primary stress in the word. In "Cordelia," the primary stress falls on the second syllable, "del."
3. Mark the primary stress with a /.
4. Assign unstressed syllables with a -.
5. With "Cordelia," you would mark it as follows: / - / -

So, the scansion for "Cordelia" is / - / -.

Just keep in mind that scansion can sometimes vary depending on factors like pronunciation and stress patterns in different dialects or poetic contexts.
