Sonority Sequencing Principle

Syllables are formed to maximize sonority, with a peak (nucleus) typically being a vowel.

Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are broken up to create syllables with clear onsets, but phonetic cohesion is considered.

Numeral Syllabification

Numeral components are syllabified based on vowel presence and phonetic boundaries.

  • Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is a common feature of Russian pronunciation and affects the phonetic realization of the syllables, but not the orthographic syllable division.
  • The 'д' before 'ца' could potentially be considered a separate syllable, but is typically grouped with the preceding syllable due to phonetic cohesion.
