Comments: “Word-final consonants are always released, and in keeping with a general favouring of open syllables, they are usually resyllabified as onsets when followed by a vowel-initial word (enchainement). Underlying word-final consonants that are not pronounced before a consonant, are pronounced only when preceding a vowel in the same rhythmic group. This process, known as liaison, also contributes to this canonical open-syllable pattern” (Fougeron, Smith 1993).
