New page

In phonology, the '''Maximal Onset Principle''' is a principle determining underlying [[syllable division]]. It states that intervocalic consonants are maximally assigned to the onsets of syllables in conformity with universal and language-specific conditions (see also [[sonority hierarchy]]).

===Example===
The English word ''diploma'' can be divided in several ways: dip.lo.ma vs. di.plo.ma. However, the only division that is in conformity with the maximal onset principle is di.plo.ma.
