Opening the book…
In previous chapters, we have analyzed intonation, stress, liaison and elision as separate phenomena. We now focus on the structure of the syllables in order to show that these phenomena are related. The syllables of spoken French tend to begin with a consonant and end with a vowel (often called a CV syllable), as illustrated in the title of this chapter:
Bon appétit! [bƆn -na-pe-ti] = [CV-CV-CV-CV]
