The syllable has been difficult to define in phonetics and so it has often been assumed to be without uniform or direct phonetic correlates. The lack of a concrete definition for the syllable has encouraged phonologists and phoneticians to treat the syllable as an innate, higher-order mental unit within which segments are organized, rather than as an actual unit of speech derived from experience with production and perception. It is argued that previous attempts to define the syllable in phonetic terms might have failed either because the definition rested on a sequential analysis of speech production or because the definition was not linked to syllable perception. In addition, previous analyses have ignored the cross-language patterns in syllable structure identified by phonologists, which a phonetic account of the syllable should also explain.

520 $a The syllable has been difficult to define in phonetics and so it has often been assumed to be without uniform or direct phonetic correlates. The lack of a concrete definition for the syllable has encouraged phonologists and phoneticians to treat the syllable as an innate, higher-order mental unit within which segments are organized, rather than as an actual unit of speech derived from experience with production and perception. It is argued that previous attempts to define the syllable in phonetic terms might have failed either because the definition rested on a sequential analysis of speech production or because the definition was not linked to syllable perception. In addition, previous analyses have ignored the cross-language patterns in syllable structure identified by phonologists, which a phonetic account of the syllable should also explain.
520 $a In contrast to previous attempts, the present attempt to provide a phonetic basis for the syllable focuses on the relationship between the hierarchical structure of the supraglottal vocal tract and the acoustic patterns of speech that are associated with the perception of syllables. Specifically, it is hypothesized that the regular, fixed, open-close movement of the jaw provides a mechanical and temporal constraint on the action of the more versatile segmental articulators. This constraint is predicted to yield the phonological pattern of preferred segment sequences as well as the phonetic pattern of different relative segment durations. In addition, it is argued that inherent properties of the cycle, such as the asymmetries in duration, displacement, and velocity of the opening and closing phases, provide an articulatory basis for certain cross-language preferences in syllable structure. Measures of jaw movement were used either to test against alternative phonological/phonetic hypotheses or to predict acoustic and perceptual data according to the hypotheses. The results of these tests supported the idea that the constraint of the jaw cycle provides an articulatory basis for the syllable.
