The paper offers a study of word-medial clusters in English and Spanish according to parameters established by Beats-and-Binding Phonology [e.g. Dziubalska-Kołaczyk 1995, 2002, 2009]. The discussion shows that a syllable-less explanation allows provides insights which are not evident in syllable-based paradigms. Clusters are evaluated and discussed in two groups: Spanish and English doubles and triples (plus more). The discussion also shows that B&B Phonology is compatible with an ecological perspective towards language study.
