Highly complex syllable structure

The syllable is a natural unit of organization in spoken language whose strongest cross-
linguistic patterns are often explained in terms of a universal preference for the CV
structure. Syllable patterns involving long sequences of consonants are both typologi-
cally rare and theoretically marginalized, with few approaches treating these as natural
or unproblematic structures. This book is an investigation of the properties of languages
with highly complex syllable patterns. The two aims are (i) to establish whether these
languages share other linguistic features in common such that they constitute a distinct
linguistic type, and (ii) to identify possible diachronic paths and natural mechanisms by
which these patterns come about in the history of a language. These issues are investi-
gated in a diversified sample of 100 languages, 25 of which have highly complex syllable
patterns.

Languages with highly complex syllable structure are characterized by a number of
phonetic, phonological, and morphological features which serve to set them apart from
languages with simpler syllable patterns. These include specific segmental and supraseg-
mental properties, a higher prevalence of vowel reduction processes with extreme out-
comes, and higher average morpheme/word ratios. The results suggest that highly com-
plex syllable structure is a linguistic type distinct from but sharing some characteristics
with other proposed holistic phonological types, including stress-timed and consonantal
languages. The results point to word stress and specific patterns of gestural organization
as playing important roles in the diachronic development of these patterns out of simpler
syllable structures.
