The Australian language Arrernte has been argued by Breen & Pensalfini (1999) and Evans & Levinson (2009) to present a case of VC syllabification with coda maximisation, rather than CV syllabification with onset maximisation. In this paper we demonstrate that greater insights into a number of phenomena are achieved when they are analysed with CV syllabification and onset consonants that are moraic, a possibility independently proposed for a wide range of languages by Topintzi (2010). We review a range of evidence from phonetic studies, acquisition and musicology that points towards CV syllabification in Arrernte, and analyse allomorphy, stress assignment, reduplication and the transpositional language game ‘Rabbit Talk’ in terms of reference to moraic structure. The results lend themselves to new directions in the analysis of Arrernte, and provide further evidence for moraic onsets in prosodic morphology.

Arrernte 的 Moraic 发作

Breen & Pensalfini (1999) 和 Evans & Levinson (2009) 论证了澳大利亚语言 Arrernte 提出了一个带有结尾最大化的 VC 音节化的案例，而不是带有起始最大化的 CV 音节化。在本文中，我们证明了当使用 CV 音节化和 moraic 的声母进行分析时，可以对许多现象有更深入的了解，Topintzi (2010) 为各种语言独立提出了这种可能性。我们回顾了来自语音研究、习得和音乐学的一系列证据，这些证据指向了 Arrernte 中的 CV 音节化，并根据 moraic 结构分析了异形、重音分配、重复和换位语言游戏“兔子谈话”。这些结果为 Arrernte 的分析提供了新的方向，
