%T Dschang syllable structure
%X The syllable structure of Dschang is interesting for a variety of reasons. Most notable is
the aspiration which can appear on most consonant types, including voiced stops. I shall
argue that aspiration is best viewed as moraic, contributing to the weight of a syllable. An
understanding of the syllable structure also gives valuable insights into the phonemic
inventory and the distributional asymmetries, and helps to explain some curious
morphophonemic vowel alternations in the imperative construction.
