A constraint-based account of syllable onsets : evidence from developing systems.
They make very clear that the lack of laryngeal timing contrasts is a property of single onsets and codas, not of clusters in general.
Therefore, ' codas ' may or may not count, but onsets can never be metrically relevant.
Glottal consonants permitted everywhere, both in onsets and in codas.
Word-internal alveolar stops in onsets and codas were also affected differently by prominence.
However, there was a stronger effect of word class on tokens in onsets than on tokens in codas.
The effect of syllable length on tokens in onsets and in codas was reversed when we considered the effect of ordinal syllable position on deletion.
As will be shown in section 4, in the symmetrical dialect, syllables with onsets and those without onsets display identical characteristics.
