When nothing is good enough: Dialectal variation in Norwegian imperatives
This paper presents an analysis of imperative formation in Norwegian. The analysis occasions discussion of variation as reranking in OT, as well as providing a novel example of a grammar in which 'null' is the optimal candidate. The Norwegian imperative is in most cases identical to the verb stem (cf. Faarlund, Lie & Vannebo 1997:477). For verbs having the familiar disyllabic structure with a f...
متن کاملDialectal Feature Imitation in Norwegian
This study investigates the ability of speakers to imitate features from another dialect of their native language. Speakers from two different Norwegian dialects spoken in Stavanger and Trondheim produced speech material using their own and each other’s dialect. Acoustic analysis involved the occurrence of preaspiration in vowel – voiceless stop contexts. Measurements revealed that preaspiratio...
متن کاملRunning head: Dialectal variation in speech perception
Native speakers with different linguistic backgrounds differ in their usage of language, and particularly in their vocabulary. For instance, British natives would use the word 'holiday' when American natives would prefer the word 'vacation'. This study investigates how cross-dialectal lexical variation impacts lexical processing, by using event-related potentials. Electrophysiological responses...
متن کاملMapping Dialectal Variation by Querying Social Media
We propose a Bayesian method of estimating a conditional distribution of data given metadata (e.g., the usage of a dialectal variant given a location) based on queries from a big data/social media source, such as Twitter. This distribution is structurally equivalent to those built from traditional experimental methods, despite lacking negative examples. Tests using Twitter to investigate the ge...
متن کاملSetting parametric limits on dialectal variation in Spanish*
The present investigation departs from the perspective that dialects of languages may exemplify typological distinctions, and as such, may be defined within parametric limits. More specifically, this synchronic study focuses on the interand intra-dialectal variation attested within the Spanish language, heretofore exempted from the scrutiny that has characterized syntactic studies of other Roma...
