摘要：The following paper examines modality independent and modality specific properties of the syllable in a comparative study of written language, oral language and sign Janguage. It is argued that the main modality independent property is an alternation structure with specific syllable defining characteristics. The differences between the three different modalities are captured by examining the specific properties of the Ünguistic substance: phonetic sound, gestural sign, written letter. The graphemic syllable is the main concern in the present paper, since it is a concept which has been rnost often called into doubt. Some linguists have argued that the graphemic syllable is an epiphenomenon of the sound syllable. Evidence from past research äs well äs j svidence to be presented in the current paper suggest an alternative model of the jnteraction between the three modalities. Instead of deriving one modality specific System from another, an underlying more abstract, modality independent structure is posited. The sound System, the sign System, and the graphemic System are treated äs Interface phenomena which result from the interaction between the underlying modality independent System and the articulatory-auditive, the gestural-visual and the writing-visual System respectively.
