Notes from Cser
kylebgorman opened this issue · comments
I'm reading Cser's The Phonology of Classical Latin and here are some things he claims we might want to support (or enforce)
- s followed by a voiceless obstruent is always heterosyllabic: i.e., they must be split, there are no sC onsets word-internally.
- s can resyllabify leftward, making a word ending in a short monophthong heavy, to fit the meter
@jillianchang have you seen any examples of the second thing here? I just quickly looked over some of the unparseable lines in scansion_test.py to see if I could find any instances there but I'm not seeing anything of relevance.
I don't think there are, since we mapped all s_clusters to onsets and I don't think there were any issues with that aspect.
Okay, I'll close for now.
