Document Summary

Regulate admissible combinations of consonants and vowels in a language phonotactic constraints. Provide the domain for many phonological rules (e. g. stress), and many rules are sensitive to syllable structure (e. g. aspiration) Maximal onset principle (universal): the consonants that fill the onset position of a syllable are those that correspond to the maximal sequence found in word-initial position in the particular language. Nucleus/rhyme-formation: assign vs to nucleus; from each nucleus, draw a line to the rhyme node and to a ! node. Maximize onset: put as many consonants as possible in the onset of each syllable, obeying language specific phonotactic constraints. Coda-formation: assign remaining cs to coda; connect coda to the rhyme and join onset to ! Phonetic correlates of stress: pitch contour, length and/or loudness. The language particular rules determining where word stress falls are usually sensitive to syllabification. Consequences of word stress in english: vowels are reduced to schwa, [ ], when unstressed, but maintained when stressed.
