Emergent Behavior in Phonological Pattern Change
Language change has recently come to be seen as a complex dynamical system, along the lines of evolutionary biology and economics, as opposed to previous conceptions as a linear or cyclical system. We model the change of a particular phenomenon, vowel harmony, and look at the conditions under which the trajectory of change matches theoretical and empirical predictions. Our experimental work sho...
متن کاملEffects of Acquisition Rate on Emergent Structure in Phonological Development
1 EFFECTS OF ACQUISTION RATE ON EMERGENT STRUCTURE IN PHONOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT 2 Individual differences in child phonologies are often correlated with the rate at which language is being acquired. The correlation suggests some relationship between acquisition rate and language structure, but the nature of this relationship is not well understood. This paper presents a computational model, the V...
متن کاملPhonological constraints are not directly phonetic
The argument is made on the basis of constraints that have the same functional basis, but distinct formal properties: ONSET and *ONSET/X (§2). If phonetic factors are projected directly onto phonological constraints, then the shared functional basis of these constraints should entail that they cannot be formally distinct. Specifically, the direct-phonetics model predicts that ONSET is actually ...
متن کاملWhy Phonological Constraints Are so Granular
Speech perception models with a fast phonological preprocessor (an FPP) require a uniform phonology throughout the speech community, because chunking errors would otherwise impede lexical access. The phonological constraints encapsulated in an FPP arise as regularities over the lexicon. However, different people know different words. A Monte Carlo simulation of vocabulary acquisition using the ...
متن کاملThe Iterative Learning of Phonological Constraints
From the earliest days of generative grammar, developing a general method for grammar acquisition has been a major goal of linguistic theory. Chomsky (1975) proposed that grammars be selected for their simplicity: the simplest grammar which fits the data is the best one. At that time, no computationally useful definition of simplicity has been available. Recently, the method variously known as ...
