1. INTRODUCTION. * In some traditional models of the syllable, it is assumed that the syllable is composed of onset, nucleus and coda, where the onset consists of prevocalic consonants, the coda of any postvocalic consonants and the nucleus of a vowel, diphthong or syllabic consonant (see Van der Hulst & Smith 1982). Derwing et al. (1988) questioned the sharp boundaries between the subsyllabic ...

In this position paper we describe an important component of our overall approach to achieving high availability in the Coda file system. Coda, a descendant of the Andrew file system (AFS) [4], provides users with shared file access in a large-scale Unix1 workstation environment. Our philosophy is to provide users with the benefits of a shared data repository without the negative consequences o...

We report the analysis of the statistics of the phase fluctuations in the coda of earthquakes recorded during a temporary experiment deployed at Pinyon Flats Observatory, California. The observed distributions of the spatial derivatives of the phase in the seismic coda exhibit universal power-law decays whose exponents agree accurately with circular Gaussian statistics. The correlation function...

A word-final consonant is standardly assumed to occupy a syllable coda. An alternative is to treat it as the onset of a syllable containing a phonetically unexpressed nucleus. The final-onset analysis is shown to out-perform the final-coda analysis on a range of phonological phenomena, including syllable typology, stress, vowel length, and consonant phonotactics. A constraint-based implementati...

A syllable is defined as a unit of spoken language bigger than a speech sound (phoneme), and is made up of three components: a nucleus, which consists of a single vowel or syllabic consonant, optionally surrounded by one or more consonants. The consonants that precede the nucleus are collectively referred to as the onset, while those that succeed it are called the coda. The nucleus and coda are...

Based on EMA data, this study investigates timing and magnitude properties of lingual gestures involved in the production of European Portuguese /l/ in onset and coda positions. Syllable position effects were found: coordination pattern for syllable-initial /l/ is distinct from those observed for syllable-final /l/; the tongue dorsum is more retracted in the syllable-final /l/; /l/s in coda sho...

Coda is a file system for a large-scale distributed computing environment composed of Unix workstations. It provides resiliency to server and network failures through the use of two distinct but complementary mechanisms. One mechanism, server replication, involves storing copies of a file at multiple servers. The other mechanism, disconnected operation, is a mode of execution in which a caching...
