Loanword adaptations : three problems for phonology ( and a psycholinguistic solution ) *
1. Introduction Phonologists have long held an interest in loanword adaptations, that is in transformations of foreign words into forms that better conform to the phonotactics of the borrowing language. Analyses of such adaptations generally involve phonological processes that apply to the phonetic representation of the words in the source language. In this paper, we look at loanword adaptation...
متن کاملLoanword Adaptation and Phonological Theory
This paper examines English-based loanwords in Standard Mandarin in light of various proposals on how loanwords are adapted and processed, and discusses the implications of the findings in loanword adaptation for phonological theory. There have been three major approaches to the adaptation and processing of sound-based loanwords: the Perception Approach, the Phonology Approach, and the Percepti...
متن کاملOn the perceptual origin of loanword adaptations: experimental evidence from Japanese
Japanese shows an asymmetry in the treatment of word-final [n] in loanwords from English and French: while it is adapted as a moraic nasal consonant in loanwords from English, it is adapted with a following epenthetic vowel in loanwords from French. We provide experimental evidence that this asymmetry is due to phonetic differences in the realisation of word-final [n] in English and French, and...
متن کاملTransparency Theory: Empirical Issues and Psycholinguistic Routes.∗
Interestingly, one can show that in the propositional case, this prediction is equivalent toφ(d)⇔ φ(>), i.e. we only need to consider one possible sentence completion β: the tautology. Importantly however, this is only a (very efficient) technical shortcut and lengthy tautologous pieces are not necessary (see Chemla, 2006). This first part of the theory accounts for the core projection facts: p...
متن کاملToward a Taxonomy of Loanword Prosody
Building on previous works (e.g. Kubozono 2006, and Kang 2010), this article attempts to establish a taxonomy for loanword prosody, referring specifically to the patterns of stress, tone, or pitch-accent that are found in loanwords. Toward a taxonomy, we consider the following factors: (i) whether the pronunciation of the word in the source language influences the assignment of prosody in the b...
