	Bosch (1995) adopts a [[Gestural Phonology (definition)\|gestural]] approach to the treatment of syllabification and vowel epenthesis in the Barra dialect. Her argument crucially rests on a gradient (rather than discreet) approach to syllable constituency, where the syllable formed by the epenthetic vowel is an extension of the original syllable.

 *For a description of Epenthesis in Scottish Gaelic see [[Epenthesis]]
-'''Epenthesis''' in Scottish Gaelic primarily refers to vocalic epenthesis (also known as Svarabhakti), which is generally understood as the insertion of a [[Vowel (definition)|vowel]] within a [[Consonant (definition)|consonantal]] sequence. Vocalic epenthesis is closely related to [[Syllable (definition)|syllabification]] and is subject to stringent phonological conditions on the part of the surrounding consonants. The locality, [[Prosody (definition|prosody]] and identity of epenthetic vowels are nevertheless predictable. Researchers however debate the phonological mechanisms that render those characteristics. Two such accounts are exposed below.

−	Unlike previous accounts (Clements 1986, Ni Chiosáin 1994, Halle 1995), Bosch's analysis seeks to arrive at a justification for the particular [[Prosody (~~definitiion~~)\|prosodic]] characteristics of the epenthetic vowel, namely the fact that both the original and epenthetic vowels have (somewhat) equal stress and [[Pitch (definition)\|pitch]] level (Borgstrøm 1937, Bosch & De Jong 1997). Espousing the theoretical tools made available by articulatory phonology, she claims that "epenthesis can be viewed as the result of a premature articulation of the sonorant gesture, which is itself superimposed upon the preceding vocalic gesture" (10). The following gestural representation shows epenthesis as a readjustment in timing (adopted from Bosch 1995:11).	+	Unlike previous accounts (Clements 1986, Ni Chiosáin 1994, Halle 1995), Bosch's analysis seeks to arrive at a justification for the particular [[Prosody (definition)\|prosodic]] characteristics of the epenthetic vowel, namely the fact that both the original and epenthetic vowels have (somewhat) equal stress and [[Pitch (definition)\|pitch]] level (Borgstrøm 1937, Bosch & De Jong 1997).
