CABALLERO RODRIGUEZ, Oscar Antonio. THE SYLLABLE IN THE ROMANI BOLOCHÓK OF CÚCUTA, COLOMBIA. Forma funcion, Santaf, de Bogot, D.C. [online]. 2012, vol.25, n.2, pp.265-283. ISSN 0120-338X.

Abstract The main subject of this article is the syllable in the Romani Bolochók of the city of Cúcuta (Colombia). After a brief introduction, the paper describes the types and the syllabic structure of the language, giving an account of some intrasyllabic characteristics such as the complexity in the onset, nucleus and coda positions, indicating the possible combinations of segments in each one of the cases. It also shows how this language accomplishes the sonority scale proposed by Blevins. Finally, the article presents the contexts of realization of each one of the phonemes of the Romani Bolochók of Cúcuta in relation to its syllabic structure.

Keywords : phonology; syllable; Romani; Rom.
