Word Parts
Onset Maximization
Danish prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable, as seen in 'ds' and 'ling'.
Vowel Nucleus
Each syllable must have a vowel nucleus, ensuring each syllable has a clear vowel sound.
Sonority Sequencing Principle
Consonants within a syllable are ordered according to their sonority, influencing the placement of syllable boundaries.
- The presence of the glottal stop [ˀ] after 'mid' is a common feature of Danish pronunciation and doesn't affect syllabification.
- The reduced vowel /ɐ/ in the final syllable 'ers' is typical of unstressed syllables in Danish.
- The dentalization of 'd' can occur, but doesn't alter the syllable division.
