English Ambisyllabic Consonants and Half-Closed Syllables in Language Teaching.

Trammell, Robert L.

Language Learning, v43 n2 p195-238 Jun 1993

Some of the articulatory, theoretical, instrumental, and psycholinguistic evidence concerning the validity of the notion of ambisyllabicity in English is examined. Applications of the concept, including the notion of syllables being "half-closed" by ambisyllabic consonants, are considered. A set of rules is presented. (76 references) (Author/LB)
