Only if we make a mistake and we have to correct it or we have difficulty remembering a word we become conscious of ...

    1,528 words
    The first question about this topic would be: Why would a word-final consonant have to be syllabified in an onset, and not in a normal post-nuclear complement (Coda) position.
