Abstract
Linguistic and behavioral data support the view that consonant clusters have a particular status. With respect to linguistic data, specific constraints apply to the distribution of phonemes within consonant clusters. Although virtually any consonant can occur in intervocalic position, there are severe restrictions on how consonants can be combined sequentially. For example, French allows word-initial clusters composed of three consonants. However, phonological sequential constraints limit the set of possible segments that can occur in each position: The first consonant must be /s/; the second is /p/, /k/, or /t/; and the third is a liquid or glide.
