Onset-Rime Principle

Syllables are structured around an onset (initial consonant(s)) and a rime (vowel and any following consonants).

Vowel-Coda Syllabification

Syllables generally contain a vowel sound. If a vowel is followed by a consonant, the syllable ends at that consonant.

Consonant Cluster Syllabification

Complex onsets (multiple consonants) are maintained within the syllable as much as possible.

Stress Assignment

Stress is assigned based on morphological structure and phonological weight.

  • The initial 'pseudo-' prefix with the 'ps' cluster requires careful syllabification, but is a common English pattern.
  • Potential vowel reduction in the 'do' syllable (to /də/) in some dialects.
