A prosodic theory of epenthesis

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

This paper argues for a theory in which epenthesis results from the interrelated requirements of prosody and not from obligatory skeletal insertion rules. Prosodic Licensing requires the incorporation of unsyllabified melodies into higher prosodic structure; syllabification conditions determine the particular insertion site; and contrasting epenthesis strategies are predicted by general prosodic principles of directionality and maximality
