Session 2: Syllable structure and phonotactics
In this session, we will discuss cross-linguistic patterns in syllable structure complexity, common claims about asymmetries in onset/coda structure, consonant phonotactics, and nucleus patterns, and examine some crosslinguistic patterns challenging those claims. We will also discuss diachronic processes affecting syllable patterns and some crosslinguistically established relationships between various syllable constituents and phonotactic properties.
