Syllables and Phonotactics

Towards ‘Phonology’
The transcription of a word into IPA represents one kind of
knowledge we have about how that word is pronounced.
◮ The individual phones making up the word
◮ The sequence in which those phones are produced
However, there is more to the pronunciation of a word
than just this...
◮ These other factors of pronunciation are general rules
governing how words (of English) are pronounced.
