Unreferenced date July 2007 Syllabification is the separation of a word into syllable s, whether spoken or written. It is also used to describe the process of something like a consonant turning into a syllable, but this is not discussed here. For example, in American English regional differences North Central American English North Central American English , can is normally pronounced IPA k n , or even with the vowel reduced to a syllabification of the n itself. The written separation is usually marked by a hyphen e.g., syl la ble . For presentation purposes, typographer s may use an interpunct Unicode character U 00B7, e.g., syl la ble , or special purpose hyphenation point U 2027, e.g., syl la ble . At the end of a line, a word is separated in writing into parts conventionally called syllables if it does not fit and if moving it to the next line would make the first line much shorter than the others. This can be a particular problem with very long words. Word processing has automated the process of justification typesetting justification , making syllabification of shorter words often superfluous. In some languages, the spoken syllables are also the basis of syllabification in writing. However, possibly due to the weak correspondence between sounds and letters in the English orthography spelling of modern English , written syllabification in English is based mostly on etymological or morphology linguistics morphological instead of phonetic principles. For example, it is not possible to syllabify learning as lear ning according to the correct syllabification of the living language.

Papers in Laboratory Phonology I Between the grammar and the physics of speech. Cambridge Cambridge University Press. 283 333. ref is a phonotactic principle that aims to outline the structure of a syllable in terms of sonority . The SSP states that the center of a syllable, namely the syllable nucleus , often a vowel , constitutes a sonority peak that is preceded and or followed by a sequence of segments consonants with progressively decreasing sonority values i.e., the sonority has to fall toward both edges of the syllable . The sonority values of segments are determined by a sonority hierarchy . A good example for the SSP in English language English is the one syllable word trust The first consonant in the syllable onset is t , which is a stop consonant stop , the lowest on the sonority scale next is r , a liquid consonant liquid which is more sonorous, then we have the vowel u IPA en the sonority peak next, in the syllable coda , is s , a fricative , and last is another stop, t . Some languages possess syllables that violate the SSP Russian language Russian and English, for example while other languages strictly adhere to it, even requiring larger intervals on the sonority scale In Italian language Italian for example, a syllable initial stop must be followed by either a liquid, a semivowel glide or a vowel, but not by a fricative except ps borrowed words like pseudonimo, psicologia . Some languages allow a sonority plateau that is, two adjacent tautosyllabic consonants with the same sonority level. Modern Hebrew is an example of such language. references Category Phonology Category Phonotactics ... more details

Refimprove date April 2008 IPA notice lang en In linguistics , a consonant cluster or consonant blend is a group of consonant s which have no intervening vowel . In English, for example, the groups IPA spl and IPA ts are consonant clusters in the word splits . Some linguists argue that the term can only be properly applied to those consonant clusters that occur within one syllable . Others contend that consonant clusters are more useful as a definition when they may occur across syllable boundaries. According to the former definition, the longest consonant clusters in the word extra would be IPA ks and IPA tr , ref J.C. Wells, http www.phon.ucl.ac.uk home wells syllabif.htm Syllabification and allophony ref whereas the latter allows IPA kstr . The German language German word Angstschwei IPA a st va s fear sweat is another good example, with a cluster of five consonants IPA st v . Phonotactics Languages phonotactics differ as to what consonant clusters they permit. Many languages do not permit consonant clusters at all. Maori language Maori and Pirah language Pirah , for instance, don t permit any two consecutive consonants in a word. Japanese language Japanese is almost as strict, but it allows clusters of consonant plus IPA j as in Tokyo IPA ja to kjo , the name of Japan s capital city. Across a syllable boundary, it also allows a cluster of a nasal consonant plus another consonant, as in Honsh IPA hon u the name of the largest island and tempura IPA tempu a a traditional dish . A great many of the languages of the world are more restrictive than English in terms of consonant clusters almost every Malayo Polynesian language forbids consonant clusters entirely. I can only guess that this is what allows one term clusters was supposed to mean. Tahitian language Tahitian , Fijian language Fijian , Samoan language Samoan and Hawaiian language Hawaiian are all of this sort.
