The relationship between syllabic structure and segmental development was examined longitudinally in a child with a severe phonological disorder. Six speech samples were collected over a 4-year period (3:5 to 7:3). Analyses revealed gradual increases in the complexity and diversity of the syllable structures produced, and positional preferences for sounds within these forms. With a strong preference for [d] and [n] at the beginning of syllables, other consonants appeared first at the end of syllables. Implications for clinical management of phonological disorders include the need to consider both structural position and structural complexity in assessing segmental skills and in choosing target words for intervention.

This article discusses, first, the role of the i-prefix in the so-called “nominal” sḏm-f paradigm in earliest Old Egyptian textual data. It is argued that this represented a means of facilitating the creation of a distinctive syllabic structure with 2rad roots and of harmonising it with that of the 2red and 3inf classes. Second, the study contains a partial revision of some of the key issues treated in an earlier article by the present author on the role of the similarly written prefix in the subjunctive and “circumstantial” sḏm-f paradigms.

SUMMARY 'Anaptyxis', 'svarabhakti', or the feature of 'supporting vowel' is a universale phoneticum as well as a universale phonologicum. On a synchronic level, there exist variants with differing syllabic structure, e.g., C'RC/CRC, C°RV / CRV, and others, showing the same syllabification as the type C°RV/CarV, etc. This is quite independent of the diachronic explication of the phenomenon. The phonetic evolution of groups that can take an anaptyxis may differ noticeably: depending on the language in question and the circumstances the anaptyxis is or is not regularized; otherwise, it is its loss that becomes generalized. If a full and stable vowel results, its timbre may differ: this depends either on the languages and dialects concerned or, within these, on the phonetic environment. The present paper makes use of the concept of 'anaptyxis' as a unifying principle in the explanation of a series of diachronic facts that are traditionally explained in a piecemeal fashion, for instance, sometimes as 'regular' phonetic changes, at other times as 'sporadic' ones. All things considered, this comes to the same thing: the regular changes retain the trace of the general facts which are in relation to the 'anaptyxis', and the evolutions called 'sporadic' attest to the fact that the loss of 'anaptyxis' is not complete either. It is argued that the line between these two kinds of change are not very clear and that both, basically, depend on the same factors, even if there is variation in the details of change, depending on the language in question. What is regular in one is sporadic in another, or the regularisation is of a different nature, and so on. The study of 'anaptyxis' not only can clarify a particularly interesting phonological fact, but also the details and the characteristics involved in phonetic evolution. RÉSUMÉ L'anaptyxis ou svarabhakti ou la 'voyelle d'appui' est une universale phoneticum et également un universale phonologicum. Au niveau syn-chronique, il existe des variantes, avec une syllabation différente, du type C'RC/CRC, C°RV / CRV et d'autres, avec la même syllabation, du type C°RV / CarV, etc. Et ceci indépendamment de l'explication diachronique du phénomène. L'évolution phonétique des groupes pouvant présenter une 'anaptyxis' peut différer sensiblement: selon les langues en question et les circonstances 1'anaptyxis se régularise ou non; autrement, c'est sa chute qui se régularise. Lorsqu'une voyelle pleine et stable apparaît, son timbre peut différer: ceci dépend soit des langues ou dialectes, soit, à l'intérieur de ceux-ci, de l'environnement phonétique. La présente étude utilise le concept d'anaptyxis pour unifier l'explication d'une série de faits diachroniques qui s'expliquent d'habitude d'une façon isolée; par exemple, tantôt comme des évolutions phonétiques 'régulières', tantôt comme des changements 'sporadiques'. Tout compte fait, cela revient au même: les changements réguliers conservent la trace des faits généraux qui sont en rapport avec 1'anaptyxis, et les évolutions qu'on appelle sporadiques témoignent du fait que la chute de 1'anaptyxis n'est pas complète non plus. La frontière entre ces deux genres de changement n'est pas nette,et les uns les autres dépendent au fond des mêmes facteurs, quoique les détails de l'évolution varient d'une language à l'autre. Ce qui est régulier dans l'une est sporadique dans l'autre ou la régularisation y est différente, etc. L'étude de 1'anaptyxis peut éclairer non seulement un fait phohologique général particulièrement intéressant, mais encore certains détails et caractéristiques de l'évolution phonétique. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG 'Anaptyxis', 'svarabhakti ' oder 'Sproßvokal '*bezeichnet ein universale phoneticum wie auch ein universale phonologicum. Auf der synchro-nen Ebene gibt es Varianten mit verschiedener Silbenstruktur, etwa des Typs C'RC/CRC, C°RV / CRV u.a., oder mit solcher des Typs C°RV / CarV, usf. — und dies unabhangig von einer historischen Erkarung des Phano-mens. Die phonetische Wandlung der Gruppen, die eine Anaptyxis enthal-ten, kann verschiedener Art sein. Abhangig von den einzelnen Sprachen und den Umständen wird sie entweder regelhaft oder nicht; dann aber wird sein Verlust regelhaft. Entsteht ein voiler und stabiler Vokal, so kann seine Tonfarbe variieren; dies hangt ab entweder von den Sprachen oder Dialekten oder, innerhalb dieser, von der phonetischen Umgebung. Der gegenwartige Aufsatz verwendet den Begriff der Anaptyxe um die Erklarung einer Reihe von Tatsachen historischer Natur zu vereinigen, die iiblicherweise isoliert behandelt werden, z.B. einmal als phonetischen Veranderungen 'regelhafter' Art, ein anderes Mai als 'sporadische' Wandlungen. Insgesamt betrachtet, kommt dies auf dasselbe hinaus: die regelhaften Veränderungen bewahren Spuren allgemeiner Fakten, die im Zusammenhang stehen mit der Anaptyxis, und die Veranderungen, die wir als sporadisch bezeichnen, geben Zeugnis von der Tatsache ab, daß der Verlust der Anaptyxis auch kein kompletter ist. Die Grenze zwischen diesen beiden Arten von Veranderungen ist nicht scharf, und beide han-gen im Grunde von den gleichen Faktoren ab, auch wenn im Detail die Veranderungen verschiedener Art sein konnen, jeweils von der Einzelsprache abhangig. Was in der einen regelhaft und durchgreifend ist, ist in der anderen entweder sporadisch oder weist eine Regelmäßigkeit anderer Art auf, usw. Das Studium der Anaptyxis kann nicht bloß ein allgemeines phonologisches Faktum aufhellen, das von besonderem Interesse ist, son-dern dariiber hinaus Einzelheiten und besondere Eigenheiten des phonetischen Wandels.

 In the Japanese literature, poetry has its own type and form, including Haiku and Senryu with 5-7-5 syllabic structure. Another prominent characteristic of Haiku is the topic concerning beauty of nature and the elements like Kigo or Kisetsu no Kotoba (the words marking the seasons) in which it shows the closeness of Japanese people with nature. Senryu has humorous and witty elements, including satire and the story about people; it does not describe season at all. Therefore, cultural background and social condition of society will affect content and form of the satire. This research aims to analyze the form of kigo in haiku and the content of satire in senryu, written by students of Japanese Literature in Brawijaya University. This research used qualitative descriptive methodology. The research shows the result that kigo ame and kigo taiyou are the most frequently used forms.  In senryu, the contents of satire are love, student life, and physical depiction.

<p>Elision, as being a distinguishing mark among phonological processes, plays a vital role in patterning and mapping syllables of the language in a way that it can “distort” particular syllabic forms and templates. It represents deterioration, modification and to some extent radical changes in the syllabic structure of the original words even though it is usually a result of rapid colloquial speech. This study is a phonological work to detect the influence of sound deletion on syllabic templates and patterns of English and Safwani Arabic. It is an attempt to work out an analysis of the possible contexts where individual segments and syllables exhibit deletion. The analysis of all possible contexts where segments and syllables are lost in these varieties is illustrated by detailed tables within the paper. The tables are designed in a way that both original and reduced word or phrase forms are given, the context of sound elision is provided and then both original and resulting syllabic patterns are demonstrated.</p>

AbstractSeveral studies have found that, after repeated exposure to new words, children form orthographic representations that allow them to read those words faster and more fluently. However, these studies did not take into account variables related to the words. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of sublexical variables on the formation of orthographic representations of words by Spanish children. The first experiment used pseudo-words of varying syllabic structure and syllabic frequency. The stimuli for the second experiment were formed with or without context-dependent graphemes. We found that formation of orthographic representations was influenced by syllabic structure (easier for words with simple syllabic structure) and the context-dependency of graphemes (easier in the absence of context-dependent graphemes), but not syllabic frequency. These results indicate that the easier it is to read a word, the easier it is to form an orthographic representation of it.
