The concept of the 'onset', i.e. the consonant(s) before the vowel of a syllable, is critical within phonology. In this book Nina Topintzi presents a new theory of onsets, arguing for their fundamental role in the structure of language both in the underlying and surface representation, unlike previous assumptions.
