المستخلص

This paper presents a study of syllable structure in an Arabic dialect; namely Cairo Arabic and related phonological phenomena using optimality theory. A possible coherent OT analysis of some syllable-based problems in Cairo Arabic (such as long vowel shortening, syncope, and epenthesis) was the primary aim of this study. The constraints involved are also structured in a hierarchy. This study examines potential syllable types and their distribution in Cairo Arabic to achieve this goal.
