This booklet is meant basically as an unique contribution to the investi­ gation of the phonology of the 2 major languages spoken in Morocco. Its principal subject is syllable constitution. Our theoretical outlook is that of generative phonology. lots of the publication offers with Tashlhiyt Berber. This language has a syllable constitution with homes that are hugely strange, as noticeable from the vantage element of better-studied languages on which such a lot theorizing approximately syllabification relies. at the one hand, advanced consonant sequences are a standard incidence within the floor representations. nevertheless, syllable constitution is particularly uncomplicated: just one virtue package deal (phoneme) might take place within the onset, the nucleus or the coda. the way in which those conflicting calls for are reconciled is by means of permitting vowelless sylla­ bies . Any consonant could act as a syllable nucleus. while astring is syllabified, nuclear prestige is preferentially assigned to the segments with a better measure of sonority than their neighbours. think about for example the expression lower than, that is a whole sentence that means 'remove it (m) and devour it (m)': /kks=t t-ss-t=t/ [k. st. s . t:"] . okay. k~t. t. s. . slt. The sentence has to be said unvoiced all through, as indicated by means of the IPA transcription among sq. brackets ; the syllabic parse given after the IPA transcription shows that the sentence includes 4 syllables (syllable nuclei are underlined). the variations among the dialects of Berber need to do essentially with the phonology and the lexicon.
