Résumé
The role of schwa in syllabification has been a challenging phenomenon in Moroccan Arabic (MA), and, consequently, defining syllable boundaries has been a thorny issue. This paper uses data of spontaneous speech to reveal that syllabification would be better understood when it is considered within the larger frame of prosody. It is argued that syllabification in MA is the outcome of the interaction of different components of grammar. This article particularly shows how morphology and phonology interact in slow and fast speech to guide the speaker’s formation of syllables.
