In words with 'ce' and 'ci' is the letter C always pronounced as if it were an 's'?

It is USUALLY pronounced as an s, but not always. There's the -cious words, where it has the sound 'sh': delicious precious specious meretricious etc. (not to mention 'licorice') Similarly, there the 'sh' sound for -cial words like facial and special. Also there are words that have been adopted from other languages but kept a trace of their original pronunciation: Celtic, for example. There are some other pronuniciations for ce, such as cello (pronounced 'chello'), cembalo (chembalo, with a 'k' sound). In the words foci and loci (acceptable plurals of focus and locus) the c is pronounced like a 'k'. The letter 'c' also makes the 'k' sound in the word 'arcing.'

How does the spelling of a word come about?

The spellings of words reflect the way they are pronounced in their root language, not necessarily the language they become part of. For example, the silent "B" in "doubt" is from the Latin root dubitare/dubare ("to waver, to be uncertain of"). This is why some English words beginning with a "CE" and "CI" sound like they start with "S", while others (the ones that start with CA, CO, and CU) have a "K" sound.


What is sound in poetry?

sound in a poem can be created using onomatopoeia - words that sound like the action such as "bang" "crash". It can also be created through assonance - this is the repetition of a vowel sound in words so you get a soft s or c ect.. Sound can be created through alliteration : the snake slowly slithered- the s is the alliteration.
