Vowel Height Allophony and Dorsal Place Contrasts in Cochabamba Quechua
This paper reports on the results of two studies investigating the role of allophony in cueing phonemic contrasts. In Cochabamba Quechua, the uvularvelar place distinction is often cued by additional differences in the height of the surrounding vowels. An acoustic study documents the lowering effect of a preceding tautomorphemic or a following heteromorphemic uvular on the high vowels /i u/. A ...
متن کاملFraming Bias in the Interpretation of Quality Improvement Data: Evidence From an Experiment
Background A growing body of public management literature sheds light on potential shortcomings to quality improvement (QI) and performance management efforts. These challenges stem from heuristics individuals use when interpreting data. Evidence from studies of citizens suggests that individuals’ evaluation of data is influenced by the linguistic framing or context of that information an...
متن کاملPhonotactics and morphophonology in early child language: Evidence from Dutch
This research investigates children’s knowledge of how surface pronunciations of lexical items vary according to their phonological and morphological context. Dutch-learning children aged 2.5 and 3.5 years were tested on voicing neutralization and morphophonological alternations. For instance, voicing does not alternate between the pair [pɛt]∼[pɛtən] (cap∼caps) but does in [bɛt]∼[bɛdən] (bed∼be...

An FGREP Investigation into Phonotactics
We discuss experiments with neural networks being trained in a phonotactic processing task. A recurrent network not only learns to predict the next letter given a partial processed word, but also learns to represent the letters in a manner meaningful to the processing task. To this end, we use Miikkulainen’s (1993) FGREP, augmented with an algorithm we call dispersion, to improve distinctness a...
