Meaning of principle of locality | Babel Free

Definitions

The principle that well-formedness of syllables can only be derived from syllable-internal information.

Examples

“One would expect to find nasal codas followed by any consonant class (stop, continuant, or sonorant), as is the case with liquid codas. If nasal-stop clusters are heterosyllabic, this restriction that the nasal be followed by a stop violates the principle of Locality.”
