Sonority Principle

Syllables are formed to maximize sonority, with sonorant consonants often forming syllable nuclei.

Avoidance of Final Consonant Clusters

Russian generally avoids leaving consonant clusters syllable-final, preferring to break them up.

Vowel-Centric Syllables

Each syllable typically contains a vowel (or a sonorant acting as a vowel).

  • The consonant clusters /str/ and /lg/ require careful articulation.
  • Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is a key feature of Russian pronunciation.
  • Palatalization of consonants influences syllable structure.
