Abstract
Consonant cluster reduction, illustrated with an English example in (1), is one of several types of process by which the number of output segments deviates from the number of input segments. A parallel process involving vowels is apocope, as in French l’état [leta] ‘the state’ /l� / ‘the ’ + /eta / ‘state ’ *[l�eta].
