Micro-phonetic Influences on Syllabification
نویسندگان
چکیده
How should one syllabify medial homorganic nasal plus stop (-VNCV-) clusters in Hindi such as those in [] ‘tall’ and [] ‘pebble’? A variety of principles have been proposed by phonologists, the three most common ones being the ‘legality’ principle, ‘maximize onset’ principle, and the ‘sonority sequencing’ principle. In this paper we will attempt to show that all -VNCVclusters do not behave alike and that phonetic factors such as the voicing of the following stop and the duration of the nasal also have to be taken into account. Thus, along with phonological factors, microphonetic factors also play a role in syllabification.
