Phonological distance measures 1 Running head: PHONOLOGICAL DISTANCE MEASURES Phonological Distance Measures
Phonological distance can be measured computationally using formally specified algorithms. This work investigates two such measures, one developed by Nerbonne and Heeringa (1997) based on Levenshtein distance (Levenshtein, 1965) and the other an adaptation of Dunning’s (1994) language classifier that uses maximum likelihood distance. These two measures are compared against näıve transcriptions ...
متن کاملHow abstract are phonological representations? Evidence from distributional perceptual learning
1 Introduction Phonological representations are typically thought of as abstract: for example, phonemes are argued to be comprised of abstract subphonemic units of some sort, whether distinctive features (e.g., Chomsky & Halle 1968), articulatory gestures (e.g., Browman & Goldstein 1989), or acoustic-phonetic dimensions (e.g., Pierre-humbert 2000). There is direct evidence that people are sensi...
متن کاملDoes strength of phonological representations predict phonological awareness in preschool children?
Previous research has shown a clear relationship between phonological awareness and early reading ability. This article concerns some aspects of spoken language skill that may contribute to the development of phonological awareness, as manifested in rhyme awareness and phoneme awareness. It addresses the hypothesis that phonological awareness abilities are associated with measures that purporte...
متن کاملPhonological generalization from distributional evidence
We propose a model of L2 phonological learning in which the acquisition of novel phonological category inventories proceeds not by mapping L2 inputs onto existing category inventories available in L1 and other already known languages, but rather through general categorization processes in which L1 and other language knowledge serves as an inductive bias. This approach views linguistic knowledge...
متن کاملPhonological representations in dyslexia
Several researchers have linked under-specified phonological representations to dyslexia. In order to investigate the nature of the dyslexic's phonological representations, adult dyslexics with severe phonological decoding deficits listened to sine-wave speech and reported what was said. Results show no difference in perceptual performance between the dyslexics and the controls. Possible under-...
