Phonological Principles and Constraints Related to the Syllabification of Word-medials

The co-occurrence of English segments universally conforms to Sonority Sequencing Principle and specifically conforms to Minimum Sonority Distance Principle and some other constraints. Onsets are preferred over codas in terms of syllabification. However, the medial VsCV sequences universally fall into the Vs.CV pattern considering such more factors as word stress, and the core and marginal clusters.
