IN THE FOLLOWING OBSERVATIONS the descriptions are based on my own speech habits, and the reader must judge how far they represent practice sufficiently general to be regarded as valid. I define a syllabic consonant as one that forms a syllable without any vowel whatever, as described and illustrated in American Pronunciation1 (AP) and in PDAE, ??z4, I 4.? In my speech only unstressed [1, m, n, j0] are syllabic. Examples are: cattle [kaetf], cradle [kredj]
