Learning english syllabification rules

1998
This paper describes LE-SR (Learning English Syllabification Rules), the first machine learning program that learns English syllabification rules, i.e., rules that tell how to divide English words into syllables for pronunciation. LE-SR uses a unique knowledge representation called C-S-CL-SS which effectively generalizes English graphemes.

Syllabification of intervocalic consonants

Journal of Memory and Language, 1988
Two tasks were used to study the syllabification of intervocalic consonants like the /V’s of melon and collide. In an oral task, subjects reversed the syllables in words; in a written task, they selected between alternative syllabifications. Even in the oral task, subjects’ responses were influenced by whether their spellings of the words contained a ...

The Syllabification of Vocoids

2002
Like the other Berber dialects, Tashlhiyt has an underlying distinction between the high vowels /i, u/ and the semivowels /y, w/. In § 7.1 we examine in detail how hiatus is avoided in vocoid sequences which do not contain underlying semivowels. The rest of the chapter deals with the phonology of the underlying semivowels. In § 7.2 we show the need for

Finite-State Syllabification

2006
We explore general strategies for finite-state syllabification and describe a specific implementation of a wide-coverage syllabifier for English, as well as outline methods to implement differing ideas encountered in the phonological literature about the English syllable.

Morphology and syllabification domains

Lingua, 1995
Abstract The morphological level that serves as a domain for syllabification rules is commonly seen as a parameter along which languages differ. An examination of syllabification at different levels of affixation in English, German, Dutch, and French narrows the relevant levels down to two, the word and the ‘morpheme’.

A Comparison of Theoretical and Human Syllabification

Language and Speech, 2001
A review of phonological syllabification theory reveals considerable controversy, with a number of conflicting theories put forward to explain this process. In this study the performance of five, French specific, syllabification procedures were compared and contrasted both against each other, using lexical analysis, and against human syllable boundary

A connectionist account of French syllabification

Lingua, 1995
Abstract In this paper, we present a connectionist approach to phonology. We show that a process like syllabification, which in a symbolic framework is generally thought of as being the outcome of some kind of parsing by a dedicated algorithm, can be accounted for in a pure dynamic way.

Syllabification rules for Pashto

IEEE Students Conference, ISCON '02. Proceedings., 2004
This paper proposes rules for the syllabification of the Pashto language. Countless permutations exist for the arrangement of syllables in Pashto; however, there are also some constraints on this language, so that certain syllables cannot be used to start words.

Syllable Structure And Syllabification

2002
Abstract This chapter examines the syllable structure and syllabification of San’ani and Cairene. I begin by discussing the syllabic skeleton and present arguments in favour of moraic theory over X-slot (or onset–rhyme) theory. Within the consideration of syllable structure, I discuss the analysis of apparent CVCCC syllables in San’ani ...
