The chapter begins with an overview of possible syllable types in Chichewa. Possible consonant sequences and issues relating to their syllabification are taken up next. Epenthesis strategies for adapting loanwords from languages which allow a wider variety of consonant cluster types are discussed in detail.

Chinese is generally considered a monosyllabic language in that one Chinese character corresponds to one syllable and vice versa, and most characters can be used as free morphemes, although there is a tendency for words to be disyllabic. On the one hand, the syllable structure of Chinese is simple, as far as permissible sequences of segments are ...

Abstract Catalan syllable structure and organization has now received considerable attention from phonologists with an Optimality perspective: see, in particular, Colina (1995), Serra (1996b), Jiménez (1999), and Dols (2000). It had already become a focus of interest in post-classical generative phonology (see Montreuil 1987a; 1987b ...

Structured CV Syllables Dataset
2023The dataset consists of all 729 possible three-syllable CV CV CV words with consonants /b/, /d/ and /g/ and vowels /a/, /i/ and /u/. It was recorded by a single male speaker in a soundproof booth with a Shure SM137 microphone and a Tascam US-2000 analog to digital conversion interface at 44.1 KHz sample rate and 16 bit resolution.

Abstract Italian syllable structure is highly restrictive. The language poses several challenges to an analysis, some of which have been taken up repeatedly in the literature. First, in Italian, as in most languages, onsets are relatively straightforwardly restricted by sonority requirements except for a few aspects, most prominently the

SUMMARY This paper investigates the syllable structure of Cyprian, an ancient Greek dialect written with a syllabary. Based on the corroboration of orthographic and metrical evidence, Cyprian is found to have a syllable structure which maximizes onsets to allow clusters of equal or rising sonority (see also Deecke 1884, Meister 1894, Thumb & ...

Abstract In this chapter we look at Slovak syllable structure. A general outline is presented in 7.1. We then proceed to investigate the properties of the Syllable Structure Algorithm. Specifically, we address the questions of whether it applies cyclically and whether it is continuous (sections 7.2 and 7.3).

Phonotactics: Syllable Structure
2000Abstract The phonological or phonotactic well-formedness of a word can be seen as an interplay of two factors: a prosodic and a non-prosodic one. On the one hand, a phonologically well-formed word must be parsable into (wellformed) prosodic units.

Syllable structure in Government Phonology
2017This chapter outlines how Government Phonology (GP) accounts for syllable structure. Traditionally, syllable structure is encoded by arboreal structure, that is, the syllabic tree with the canonical constituent structure. Rather than talking about the effect of syllabification, GP elevates to theoretical relevance its origin: the lateral relationship ...

2. Syllable patterns. 2.1. Single syllables. Syllables may consist of a single short vowel or a cluster of identical or different vowels, or either of these preceded by a single consonant or a cluster of two or three consonants. Illustrations of these types follow (the low dot indicates syllable division; the acute accent, stress): V e.mo.?u his word ...
