Maximize Onsets
Syllables are formed by maximizing the number of consonants that can be included in the onset (beginning) of the syllable. This principle guides the division between vowels.
Sonority Sequencing Principle
Consonants are arranged in order of decreasing sonority (perceived loudness) within a syllable. This influences the placement of syllable boundaries.
- Norwegian allows for relatively complex consonant clusters, but syllable division aims to avoid placing them at the syllable end.
- The pronunciation of 'v' as [ʋ] is a common feature of Norwegian and doesn't affect syllable division.
