| Research Abstract |
In a language, from the phonological point of view, syllables are formed as phonological units centering vowels and/or adding consonants to the preceding and the following positions. In an onset (syllable initial consonants) position, orders of consonant clusters or consonant deletions occur in different ways from a coda (syllable ending consonants) position. In this research, I analyze the asymmetric behavior of onset and coda, and clarify the characteristic of orders of onsetclusters in particular, using the sonority hierarchy and the complexity of segmental structures.
