abstract: |
  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.
