Towards Syllabification<br />
Hypothesis 1:<br />
The syllabification of word is just memorized on a<br />
word-by-word basis.<br />
Problem for Hypothesis 1:<br />
English speakers know how to syllabify words they’ve never<br />
heard spoken before.<br />
Example:<br />
◮ Read the following word to yourself silently: “badartogly”<br />
◮ Say the word to yourself slowly, breaking it into syllables...<br />
◮ I would bet that you syllabified it as follows:<br />
◮ [ bæ . dAô . tA . gli ]<br />
◮ I would bet that you didn’t syllabify it this way:<br />
◮ [ bæd . Aôt . Ag . li ]<br />
