Draw the sonority profile the following words and identify the nuclei and syllable boundaries : Captain, Helicopter ,dentist

Answer:

The Sonority Sequencing Principle (SSP)[1][2] or Sonority Sequencing Constraint is a phonotactic principle that aims to outline the structure of a syllable in terms of sonority.

The SSP states that the syllable nucleus (syllable center), often a vowel, constitutes a sonority peak that is preceded and/or followed by a sequence of segments – consonants – with progressively decreasing sonority values (i.e., the sonority has to fall toward both edges of the syllable). The sonority values of segments are determined by a sonority hierarchy, though these differ to some extent from language to language. Typically they are vowel > glide > liquid > nasal > obstruent (or > fricative > plosive > click). That is, the segment order in a syllable tends to be of the pattern Ʞ-P-F-N-L-G-V-G-L-N-F-P. The fricative–plosive and nasal–plosive rankings may be reversed. Wright (2004: 51–52) notes,[3]

In a Sonority Sequencing Constraint that is based on perceptual robustness, a stranded consonant (one without a flanking vowel, liquid, or glide) is dispreferred unless it has sufficiently robust internal cues to survive in the absence of formant transitions. ... Segments that we expect to survive without the benefits of flanking vowels, and thus be found at syllable edges with intervening stops, are the sibilant fricatives, potentially other fricatives ... and nasals.

A good example for the SSP in English is the one-syllable word "trust": The first consonant in the syllable onset is t, which is a stop, the lowest on the sonority scale; next is r, a liquid which is more sonorous, then we have the vowel u /ʌ/ – the sonority peak; next, in the syllable coda, is s, a sibilant, and last is another stop, t. The SSP explains why, for example, "trend" is a valid English word but *"rtedn" (flipping the order of consonants) is not.

Some languages possess syllables that violate the SSP (Russian and dialectal Arabic, for example) while other languages strictly adhere to it, even requiring larger intervals on the sonority scale: In Italian for example, a syllable-initial stop must be followed by either a liquid, a glide or a vowel, but not by a fricative (except: [ps] borrowed words like: pseudonimo, psicologia). Some languages allow a sonority "plateau"; that is, two adjacent tautosyllabic consonants with the same sonority level. Modern Hebrew is an example of such language.

A number of unrelated languages[specify] that typically follow the SSP will violate it with /s/ + stop clusters. For example, in the English word "string" or Italian "spago" the more sonorous /s/ comes before a less sonorous sound in the onset. In native English words, no phoneme other than /s/ ever violates the SSP. Latin also was able to violate the principle in this way -- however the Vulgar Latin dialects that evolved into the Western Romance languages lost this ability, causing the process of I-prosthesis to occur, whereby an /i/ was inserted at the beginning of such a word, to make the /s/ instead a coda consonant rather than an onset consonant. As a result, Western Romance languages like Spanish and French will have "espada" and ("espee">) "épée" respectively where a non-Western Romance language like Italian has something akin to "spada".

I usually am flying economy class, but last year I flied first-class on a trip from Vermont to Texas. This is how it happened. When I arriving at the airport, the attendant told me the airline had overbooked, which meant they were selling too many tickets for that flight. I were not in a hurry, so I offered to go on the next flight. Then I found out there were an extra seat after all—it was first class! As I sat in my first-class seat, I notice the ride was much quieter and smoother than in other parts of the plane. When I buzzed the flight attendants, they are arriving right away. Also, there was enough fleece blankets for everyone, so I was able to cover myself when the cabin got too cool. Because the seats were so large, I had lots of room to stretch my legs. Best of all, the first-class meal was really good. All of these pleasant surprises made the flight seem shorter than any other flight I have took before.

Read the excerpt from A Girl Named Zippy.

There was one main street, Broad Street, which was actually not so broad, and was the site of the town’s only four-way stop sign. There were three churches: the North Christian Church and the South Christian Church, which sat on opposite ends of Broad Street like sentinels, and the Mooreland Friends Church, which was kind of in the middle of town, but tucked back on Jefferson Street at the edge of a meadow. There were . . . no theaters, no department stores.

What is the purpose of this excerpt?
