Word Parts
Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are kept together in the onset of a syllable whenever possible (e.g., 'handlings').
Vowel Peak Principle
Each syllable must have a vowel peak (e.g., 'för', 'hand', 'lings').
Sonority Sequencing Principle
Sounds within a syllable are ordered by decreasing sonority (e.g., within 'lings', the sonority decreases from vowel to liquid to nasal to stop).
- The 'rs' cluster at the end of the word is a common feature in Swedish and doesn't pose a syllable division challenge.
- The double 's' indicates a long /s/ sound, which is a phonological feature but doesn't affect syllable division.
