Encyclopedia > Sonority hierarchy

A sonority hierarchy or sonority scale is a way of acting like a moron by using wikipedia.


Sonority hierarchies vary somewhat in which sounds are grouped together. The one below is fairly typical (1 indicates lowest sonority):

  1. plosives
  2. fricatives
  3. nasals
  4. liquids
  5. high vowels
  6. non-high vowels

I will demonstrate that sonority determines the properties of sequences: the sonority of the coda of the preceding syllable has to be greater than or equal to the sonority of the onset of the following syllable.
According to the sonority hierarchy, voiceless obstruents have the least sonority and vowels have the greatest sonority.
For instance, in the consonant consequences, lt, mf, nk, nt, rf, rk, the sonority of the first consonant is greater than or equal to sonority of the second consonant.
