Abstract:
  • The paper presents the results of the research verifying the proposed universal nature of the CVX theory of syllable. The character of the word-initial clusters in English and in Slovak has been evaluated in terms of three basic concepts of the so-called morphological approach to syllable structure as introduced by Duanmu (2009). The data indicates that while in English all onset clusters form a complex sound or can be explained by morphology, in Slovak the number of possible word-initial clusters is much higher, their structure is more heterogeneous and not all of them can be accounted for by morphology.
