  Sandhi generalized
Kaisse (1985) also found such rampant word-juncture effects problematic for her theory of sandhi, under which such effects should be lexically or syntactically conditioned.
(1889:38) that the major difference between rules of internal and external sandhi, if one abstracts away from the fact that in word juncture one must account for consonant combinations that accidentally do not occur in the morphology, is that sonorants voice preceding obstruents at word boundaries, but not word-internally.
Kessler (1993) later demonstrated that for Classical Sanskrit(5) this analysis is appropriate for virtually all sandhi processes that seem to be conditioned by word boundaries.

  Sandhi and Syllables in Classical Sanskrit
Since the Sanskrit sandhi applies between all words, regardless of syntax, she adopted Whitney's solution of declaring the phonology to be partly artificial.
Although it is traditional to describe sandhi in terms of the surface forms the input words have in isolation, most generative linguists agree that in some cases one needs to assume somewhat different forms feeding sandhi; these are added in parentheses in the charts.
This of course bleeds the sandhi rules, which are coda-sensitive, and has led to the false generalization that most sandhi rules for consonants as the prior elements are inoperative word-internally.

Sandhi (Sanskrit "joining") is a cover term for a wide variety of phonological processes that occur at morpheme or word boundaries (thus belonging to what is called morphophonology).
The Linking R of some dialects of English is a kind of external sandhi, as is the process called liaison in the French language.
While it may be extremely common in speech, sandhi (especially external) is typically ignored in spelling, as is the case in English, with the exception of the distinction between "a" and "an" (sandhi is, however, reflected in the writing system of Sanskrit).

The role of segmental sandhi in the parsing of speech: evidence from Greek
The nature and range of variation in the pronunciation of these allophonic segments may be influenced by factors such as speech rate and casual versus careful style and how these extra-grammatical properties interact with the aerodynamic and coarticulatory patterns of the target sounds but also by the intonationally-marked prosodic and syntactic structure of utterances.
This dissertation examines the relationship between prosodic and syntactic structure and segmental allophonic processes (sandhi) at the edges of words in Greek, a language with a rich inventory of such segmental processes.

Sandhi is a coalescence of two letters coming in immediate contact with each other.
While parsing words formed using orthographic rules of sandhi, there is a need to generate all the set of sub-words contained in each input word along with the parsed output of each such sub-word.
It determines the split outputs to be generated according to the Rules of Sandhi found in the Sandhi Rule unit of the Vichcheda module.

A: Tone sandhi is the change of a tone to a different tonal contour when a syllable occurs in a particular environment.

Sandhi contour changes are noted numerically after the dash for each syllable.

Some examples are shown in 1-3; but as seen in 4-6, the same changes appear not to apply word-internally, whether at morpheme junctures or not.
I shall then adduce positive evidence that external sandhi rules are needed to account for changes of stems inside inflected and derived words.
It is particularly easy to see that sandhi rules affecting word-final vowels before other vowels should also find the same syllabic conditions when vowels come into contact word-internally, and indeed there are many examples of Glide Formation and Vowel Contraction in the morphology:

Several types of sandhi may occur across a BI 0 boundary, however, sandhi is not necessary for a BI 0 to be used.
Since the presence of sandhi does not necessarily signal cohesion, we have decided to use the diacritic s for sandhi at all prosodic levels, and thus provide an easy way of searching the database for such instances.

Thus, consonants which have undergone a sandhi change in the text are marked by ¤ (this sign is inserted during the processing of the input; * is what had been typed).

In this dissertation, a unified non-linear analysis of Mandarin tone and tone sandhi is proposed.
This account yields interesting insights into the neutral tone variation, which is seen as first triggered by the same OCP rule as that caused the Third Tone Sandhi, and then by feature spreading through tonal co-articulation.
Lengthy discussion on toneme as the timing unit, the Mandarin syllable structure, its weight and its dual tasks of bearing the tonal features on the one hand and the segmental features on the other can also be found in this dissertation.

 External sandhi in Classical Sanskrit   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
Although Sanskrit is often characterized as having a phrasal phonology that is unnatural to the point of artificiality, this rule set shows that phonologically unnatural rules can be isolated in the lexical phonology, where one expects to find rules that require historical explanation.
It also shows that with the exception of three rules that have lexical conditions, the rules of external sandhi can be described as syllable-juncture P2 rules rather than as word-juncture rules.
It further shows that pada suffixes, which have traditionally been held to exceptionally obey external sandhi, are not exceptional at all when syllable structure is taken into consideration.

Tone sandhi in Mandarin is mainly manifested in the Third Tone Rule, which describes the regular changes of the third tone to a second tone when another third tone follows.
In dialects like Mandarin and Cantonese, most of the tones in context, i.e., the sandhi tones, are the same as when they are pronounced in isolation.
The existence of tone sandhi can pose a bit of a challenge to the first-time investigator of a dialect rich with tone sandhi.

Like the vast majority of contextually-conditioned phonological variations, tone sandhi is widely believed to have phonetic origins.
In another study we compared the phonetic properties of sandhi tones (phonologically changed tones) with the same original tones in a context as similar as possible to that which triggers the sandhi phenomenon.
The long vowels of the original tokens were shortened and gated at 10ms steps until they had the same vowel durations of the original short vowels.
