LING 201 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Obstruent, Sonorant
Document Summary
Nucleus with a vowel is the most sonorous sound in the sylbale. Eg: c c c v c c c ( rise at v ) Coda you are going to go down, vowel you are building sonority. R is a liquid so its back at 2. Win : w is a glide so its 3 341 : start high, bump, and have a drop off. Max 2 in the offset and 2 in the coda. The extra ones cant attach to the offset and coda. Extra cons attach to the signma level in violation. If it doesn"t follow to this, it is a omplex syl. Remember: it is preferered to have a flat onset than a flat coda. If yiu have more than 2 syl, and you don"t know where it should attach to , it is probably the onset. We attach the s in splash attach onto the syllable level.
