Abstract

This article explores the internal structure of syllables and the phonotactic rules that govern permissible sound combinations in a given language. Understanding syllable structure and phonotactics is crucial in the fields of phonology, language acquisition, and speech pathology. The paper outlines key components of syllable organization and examines the constraints different languages impose on sound sequencing, providing a comparative analysis and discussing implications for linguistic theory and pedagogy.
