Structure syllabique et variation combinatoire : voisement et gemination en limbu

In the phonology and morphophonology of Limibu (Tibeto- Burman, Nepal), we find what could be considered as rules of voicing (of stops) and gemination (of stops and nasals). The interpretation of these phenomena leads us to assign an independent role to the syllable boundary as part of the phonological environment conditioning the distribution of allophones.Michailovsky Boyd.
