The factors that influence English speakers to classify a consonant as ambisyllabic are explored in 581 bisyllabic words. The /b/ in habit, for example, was considered ambisyllabic when a participant chose hab as the first part of the word and bit as the second. Geminate spelling was found to interact with social variables; older participants and more educated speakers provided more ambisyllabic responses. The influence of word-level phonotactics on syllabification was also evident. A consonant such as the medial /d/ in standard is attested as the second consonant in the coda of many English words (e.g. lard), as well as in the single-consonant onset of many others; for this reason such consonants were often made ambisyllabic. This contrasts with the /n/ in standard, which is never the first consonant in a word-initial cluster (e.g. *ndorf) and, therefore, rarely made ambisyllabic in the experiment. Ambisyllabicity was also found more often when the vowel preceding the single medialconsonant was lax, or stressed, or when the medial-consonant was a sonorant rather than an obstruent. The idea that a stressed lax vowel in the first syllable conditions both the ambisyllabicity of the consonant and its geminate spelling is not supported.

This paper presents an analysis of Tashlhiyt Berber syllabification in the Onset Promi-nence (OP) representational framework. With a structural perspective on manner of articulation, OP captures the apparent role of sonority in TB syllabification. It is shown, however, that this does not entail the assignment of "peak" status to the most sonorous available segments in a given string. Sonority based "peak" assignment cannot account for the ambiguous behavior exhibited by syllables in with the "peak" is less sonorous than its "onset", and makes infelicitous predictions with regard to the behavior of "onsetless" syllables. By contrast, the OP environment provides mechanisms in which such ambiguities fall out from more general principles of constituent formation.

This paper presents the results of a preliminary investigation of subjective feelings related to the syllabification of Polish words written in orthographic form. The results are part of a wider study, and the data presented here are limited to polysegmental word-internal consonant clusters. In the author’s previous articles it was noted that some morphological boundaries are perceived as syllable boundaries – particularly boundaries between a prefix and a stem. The words that contain such boundaries were excluded from the investigation. The main goal was to verify whether the phonostatistical properties of consonant clusters influence subjective feelings related to syllabification. The investigated statistical proprieties concern the frequency of occurrence of consonant clusters, and of parts of them at the beginning of words, in the text corpus. Another goal was to verify whether the syllabification based on phonology differs from that based on subjective feelings.

This paper presents a model for the syllabification of Polish words written in orthographic form. It raises some significant issues related to syllabification, including the linguistic definition of a syllable and certain phonological principles: the Sonority Sequencing Principle and the Maximal Onset Principle. The article describes the steps of a designed syllabification procedure. This procedure provides four layers of syllable boundary placement. The first layer is related to the morphological structure of the word (it concerns mainly boundaries between a prefix and a stem). The structure of the rules in the first layer is based on the initial and final strings in words. The goal of the second layer is to put boundaries between syllable nuclei. The next layer modifies the boundaries that result from the phonological principles. The last layer places boundaries resulting from the phonological principles. Rules applied earlier mask rules on the succeeding layers. The article also presents a structure of rules based on probability. A description of static syllabification systems is also given - these work much faster, but it is not possible to modify the rules associated with them. The last described feature of the presented solution is the ability to create generative systems.

This paper presents the results of an investigation of subjective feelings related to the syllabification of Polish words written in orthographic form. The results presented are limited to consonant clusters composed only of obstruents, located within words. In previous articles the author has shown that, despite the presence of numerous long consonant clustersin Polish, the process of syllabification may be based on phonological principles: the sonority principle and the principle of maximal onset. It was also shown that the phonological rules sometimes suggest different solutions than the morphological structure, particularly at boundaries between a prefix and a stem. The main goal of the present investigations was to verify whether the syllabification based on phonology differs from that based on subjective feelings. The article also refers to some statistical properties of consonant clusters, with the aim of verifying whether the main results presented here are related to those properties.

This paper presents the results of an investigation of subjective feelings related to the syllabification of Polish words written in orthographic form. The results presented are limited to consonant clusters that contain at least one sonorant. This is a continuation of the author’s previous paper: An investigation of subjective feelings related to syllabification in Polish - the division of consonant clusters composed of obstruents. In previous articles the author has shown that, despite the presence of numerous long consonant clusters in Polish, the process of syllabification may be based on phonological principles: the sonority principle and the principle of maximal onset. The main goal of the present investigations was to verify whether the syllabification based on phonology differs from that based on subjective feelings.

Dostępne lingwistyczne definicje sylaby nie umożliwiają jednoznacznego podziału wyrazów na sylaby. Dotyczy to w szczególności języka polskiego, w którym występują liczne wieloelementowe grupy spółgłoskowe niespotykane w innych językach. Niniejszy artykuł dotyczy programu komputerowego (rozwijanego przez autora) przeznaczonego dla dzielenia tekstów w języku polskim na sylaby. Działanie tego programu opiera się na wynikach wcześniejszych badań autora, które wykazały istotne znaczenie zarówno fonologii, jak i morfologii dla procesu dzielenia wyrazów na sylaby. Badania te wykazały, że podział wyrazów w języku polskim prawie zawsze można oprzeć na zasadach fonologicznych, jednak w niektórych przypadkach morfologia sugeruje inny podział. Dlatego podstawowa procedura podziału oparta jest na regułach wynikających z fonologicznej zasady sonorności, natomiast stosowanie reguł wynikających ze struktury morfologicznej wyrazów jest opcjonalne. Artykuł dotyczy rozwiązań zastosowanych w programie – przede wszystkim omówiona została struktura reguł podziału. Publikacja porusza również problem różnic między zapisem ortograficznym i transkrypcją ortograficzną w języku polskim. Ten problem jest istotny, ponieważ proces dzielenia na sylaby dotyczy tekstów ortograficznych, natomiast wartości fonologicznej sonorności są przypisywane do dźwięków mowy.

According to the current definitions of a syllable it is impossible to syllabify words in an unambiguous and uncontroversial manner. This especially concerns languages such as Polish, which is rich in long consonant clusters, rarely occurring in other languages. The article describes computer software currently being developed by the author to divide Polish texts into syllables. The program is based on the findings of the author’s previous research, which point to the significance of both phonology and morphology for syllabification in Polish. Investigation has shown that syllabification may, in most cases, be based mostly on phonology, but sometimes morphology suggests different solutions. Therefore the main syllabification procedure is based on the phonological principle of sonority, with an optional syllabification procedure based on the morphological structure of words. The article outlines the solutions employed in the program – mainly the structure of syllabification rules. Attention is also drawn to the differences between orthographic spelling and phonological transcription in Polish, which is important due to the fact that the syllabification program operates on orthographic words, while phonological sonority values are applicable to speech sounds.
