| Aug 7, 2020 at 19:19 | comment | added | user6726 | Depends on how such rules are stated. One approach is admission-centric and the other is prohibition-centric. Usually, filters state sequential relations and don't have a focus whereas standard rules apply to a particular segment. So in a more rule-ish approach the input would be C[nV], and the onset-parsing would admit only [s] (maybe [ʃ]). Filter-type approaches have for example blocked onset sequences of [-continuant], thus also getting *pt. | |
