Sonority Sequencing Principle

Syllable boundaries tend to occur where sonority decreases. Vowels are more sonorous than consonants.

Maximum Onset Principle

Syllables prefer to maximize the number of consonants in their onset, though Russian allows for complex codas.

  • Palatalization of consonants influences phonetic realization but not orthographic syllable division.
  • Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is a phonetic phenomenon and doesn't alter syllable division.
