The Syllable as Prosody: a re-analysis of syllabification in eastern Libyan Arabic
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 December 2009
Extract
One unit of Firthian prosodic analysis is the anaptyctic vowel: ‘such common phenomena as elision, liaison, anaptyxis, the use of so-called cushion consonants or “sounds for euphony” are involved in this study of prosodies. These devices of explanation begin to make sense when prosodic structure is approached as a system of syntagmatic relation’ (Firth, 1948, 57 f.).
