One Last Mystery<br />

But, remember the question which prompted us to<br />

develop our ‘syllabification algorithm’:<br />

Question:<br />

Why don’t we syllabify “bologna” like this: *[b2l . own . i]<br />

◮ This syllabification is totally consistent with English<br />

phonotactics.<br />

◮ [b2l] is a possible English syllable<br />

◮ [own] is a possible English syllable<br />

◮ [i] is a possible English syllable<br />
