Word Parts
Maximize Onsets
Swedish syllabification generally favors placing as many consonants as possible at the beginning of a syllable (onset).
Vowel Length
Long vowels often form the nucleus of a syllable.
Geminate Consonants
Geminate consonants (double consonants) are treated as a single unit within a syllable.
- The retroflexion of /r/ before consonants is a common phonetic feature that doesn't directly affect syllabification but influences pronunciation.
- The geminate consonant /tː/ affects syllable weight.
- Stress placement can be influenced by the length and structure of the preceding syllables.
