Analytic Biases for Vowel Harmony Languages
One of the major goals of generative linguistics is to produce a theory of language that can generate all possible languages without predicting languages that are unnatural in that they lie outside the scope of the human capacity to learn. In order to achieve this goal, the nature of language must be understood with regard to the distinction between linguistic patterns that are outside the rang...
متن کاملLearning Vowel Harmony
It is possible to construct an unsupervised learning system for vowel harmony, which makes accessible general-isations. Furthermore, such a learning system can be constructed with little built-in knowledge, and, consequently, be applicable to data from a wide range of domains. This paper presents a learning system which fulllls these criteria, and examines the results of applying an implementat...
متن کاملVerifying Vowel Harmony Typologies
This paper applies finite state technologies to verify the typological validity of Turbid Spreading, a theory of vowel harmony in Optimality Theory (OT) (Prince & Smolensky, 1993/2004). Previous analyses of vowel harmony in OT have been prone to typological inconsistencies, predicting grammars that do not occur in natural language (Wilson, 2003). However, attempts to eliminate typological patho...
متن کاملHungarian Vowel Harmony
A system of phonological rules and representations has at least two aims: one is to describe the way in which words (and larger stretches of utterances) are realized in speech, and to state which logically possible streams of speech sounds are legitimate in the language under description – this is part of observational adequacy. The other aim is to capture the pattern of sounds characteristic o...
متن کاملVowel harmony in Jingulu
Jingulu, a language of North-Central Australia, exhibits a pattern of regressive vowel harmony which is not only difficult to characterise accurately in descriptive terms, but also poses challenges for current theories of vowel harmony. The purpose of this article is thus threefold: to describe a fascinating phonological phenomenon, to formulate accurate generalisations which capture the phenom...
