<strong>Phonotactics</strong> <strong>and</strong> Syllabification<br />

Fun Fact:<br />

These phonotactic constraints play a major role in<br />

syllabification.<br />

◮ Why don’t we syllabify like this: *[2 . nd1ôs . tænd . iN]<br />

◮ Because [nd] is not a possible onset of English<br />

(No word of English begins in [nd])<br />

◮ Why not this: *[pEpt . ow . bIzm . Al]<br />

◮ Because [zm] is not a possible coda of English<br />

(No word of English ends in [zm]])<br />
