From a distributional perspective, word-final consonants sometimes resemble co-das and sometimes they are onset-like. This paper allows for both syllabification options. However, it argues that the distinctive properties of such consonants follow from how they are licensed rather than from how they are syllabified. Building on a distinction between the parsing and licensing of elements in prosodic structure, the paper recognizes two types of licensing, D(irect)- and R(emote)-Licensing. A D-licensed final consonant must be a coda, while the imposition of R-licensing allows final consonants to range freely between codas and onsets. The latter is considered to be the unmarked situation. The paper offers principled explanations for why languages manifest final vowel loss and why they sometimes impose an absolute requirement that words be consonant-final. It provides the familiar concept of extraprosodicity with a formal underpinning
