Autosegmental Aims in Surface Optimizing Phonology
We develop a novel optimization approach to tone. Its grammatical component consists of the similarityand proximity-based correspondence constraint framework of Agreement by Correspondence theory (ABC). Its representational component (Q theory) decomposes segments (Q) into temporally ordered, quantized subsegments (q), which comprise unitary sets of distinctive features, including tone. ABC+Q u...
متن کاملHow Autosegmental is Phonology?
In this paper I address the following questions: How appropriate/effective are traditional autosegmental representations? What insights do autosegmental representations help us express? Where do autosegmental representations fall short? And finally, what does this all mean for phonology? Such questions are particularly timely, as numerous scholars have abandoned both earlier assumptions of clas...
متن کاملLogic and the Generative Power of Autosegmental Phonology*
The current study examines the generative power of Autosegmental Phonology (Goldsmith, 1976, 1979, 1990) in the framework of Formal Language Theory, with which we can study the computational complexity of phonological phenomena and formalisms independent of specific theoretical frameworks in phonology. A methodology for a model-theoretic study of autosegmental phonology with monadic second-orde...
متن کاملA Phonological Modeling System Based on Autosegmental and Articulatory Phonology
This paper describes the design and implementation of a phonological modeling system based on autosegmental and articulatory phonology and its application in speech recognition. Pronunciation modeling is an integral part in speech recognition systems. Together with language modeling, signal processing and learning models (e.g. Hidden Markov model and neural network model), it innuences the perf...
متن کاملOne-Level Phonology: Autosegmental Representations and Rules as Finite Automata
When phonological rules are regarded as declarative descriptions, it is possible to construct a model of phonology in which rules and representations are no longer distinguished and such procedural devices as rule-ordering are absent. In this paper we present a finite-state model of phonology in which automata are the descriptions and tapes (or strings) are the objects being described. This pro...
