Emergent phonology
0. Speech and phonology As is well known the physical properties of speech are determined by a large number of factors. They vary depending on the language spoken, on the age, gender and identity of the speaker. They undergo stylistical modifications in innumerable ways owing to the interaction of physiological, cognitive, social and communicative factors. Linguistics deals with this problem by...
متن کاملA realistic model of emergent phonology
In this report, ongoing research into the explanation of universal characteristics of human sound systems is presented. The characteristics are explained through a theory which is called emergent phonology. This theory is based on the ideas of Luc Steels (Steels 1995, 1996, 1997) that language is an emergent adaptive system in a population of language users in which coherence is maintained thro...
متن کاملA Second Report on Emergent Phonology
Bart de Boer AI-lab Vrije Universiteit Brussel Abstract This report presents a simulation of the emergence of a sound system in a group of simulated agents that try to imitate each other’s sounds. The agents can articulate and perceive vowel sounds. Agents engage in imitation games in which they try to imitate each other by using their own phonemes to approximate a sound that was made by anothe...
متن کاملA First Report on Emergent Phonology
This paper contains a description of two experiments that have been done to test self organisation and cultural evolution as possible mechanisms for explaining the origins of language in general and the origins of phonological systems in particular. Using computer simulations of agents that try to communicate using speech sounds, together with a selectionist algorithm where successful phonemes ...
متن کاملEmergent feature structures: harmony systems in exemplar models of phonology
In exemplar models of phonology, phonotactic constraints are modeled as emergent from patterns of high activation between units that co-occur with statistical regularity, or as patterns of low activation or inhibition between units that cooccur less frequently or not at all. Exemplar models posit no a priori formal or representational properties to the phonological units or sound patterns that ...
