This thesis develops a new approach to the analysis of syllable structure, termed the Split Margin Hierarchy. This approach, developed within the optimality theoretic framework, expands on Prince and Smolensky's Margin Hierarchy by incorporating a second Margin Hierarchy into the constraint set. The two Margin Hierarchies interact with one another and with other constraints enabling analysis of complex syllable structure. The M1 hierarchy is identical in form to Prince and Smolensky's Margin Hierarchy and governs singleton onset segments and the first segment of onset clusters. The M2 hierarchy identifies the most sonorous segments as the least marked M2 segments and the least sonorous segments as the most marked. This second Margin Hierarchy governs singleton coda segments and the second segment of onset clusters. Local conjunction of the two hierarchies generates a set of ranked, complex constraints that determine the relative markedness of adjacent M1M 2 (or M2M1) sequences. The conjoined constraints therefore govern complex onsets, complex codas, and the juncture between a coda segment and a following onset (syllable contact).

520 $a This thesis develops a new approach to the analysis of syllable structure, termed the Split Margin Hierarchy. This approach, developed within the optimality theoretic framework, expands on Prince and Smolensky's Margin Hierarchy by incorporating a second Margin Hierarchy into the constraint set. The two Margin Hierarchies interact with one another and with other constraints enabling analysis of complex syllable structure. The M1 hierarchy is identical in form to Prince and Smolensky's Margin Hierarchy and governs singleton onset segments and the first segment of onset clusters. The M2 hierarchy identifies the most sonorous segments as the least marked M2 segments and the least sonorous segments as the most marked. This second Margin Hierarchy governs singleton coda segments and the second segment of onset clusters. Local conjunction of the two hierarchies generates a set of ranked, complex constraints that determine the relative markedness of adjacent M1M 2 (or M2M1) sequences. The conjoined constraints therefore govern complex onsets, complex codas, and the juncture between a coda segment and a following onset (syllable contact).
520 $a The addition of the M2 hierarchy and its incorporation into the existing framework provide insight into several phenomena that are exemplified in analyses of Yakut, Dutch, and the acquisition of Dutch. The analysis of Yakut, a Siberian Turkic language which allows syllables that maximally include only singleton onsets and codas, identifies a ban on onset glides and rhotics as well as some syllable contact effects in monomorphemic words. The Dutch analysis examines the relative acceptability of both complex onset and complex coda sequences and accounts for the asymmetries between the two as well as the distribution of short vowel plus obstruent vs. long vowel sequences in the rhyme. The Split Margin Hierarchy analysis of the acquisition of Dutch syllable structure is able to account for the order of acquisition of both onset and coda segments, the link between the second segment of onset clusters and singleton coda segments, and the acquisition of vowel length that occurs in conjunction with the acquisition of coda consonants.
