there are different ways to do that: One syllabe can be one markup element, but an override command is a better solution.

See http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Entering-lyrics

\version "2.12.0"

\relative c' {

  c d e f g

}

\addlyrics {

  One \markup \italic italic word

}

\relative c' {

  c d e f g

}

\addlyrics {

  One

  \markup \italic i --

  \markup \italic ta --

  \markup \italic lic

  word

}

\relative c' {

  c d e f g

}

\addlyrics {

  One

  \override LyricText #'font-shape = #'italic

  i -- ta -- lic

  \revert LyricText #'font-shape

  word

}
