Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are grouped at the beginning of syllables whenever possible (e.g., 'st' in 'stan').
Vowel Nucleus
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
Avoidance of Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless they form a permissible cluster.
- The 'nst' cluster is relatively uncommon but acceptable in English.
- Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables (schwa /ə/) is common.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation (e.g., /kə/ instead of /koʊ/).
