Expressing inflection tonally
Limburg dialects of Dutch have two distinctive tonal contours on syllables with primary stress. These tones are traditionally called Schleifton (‘dragging tone’) and Stosston (‘bumping tone’), but here we will use the terms ‘level high tone’ and ‘falling tone’.1 The tones fall on the stressed syllable in the word, and serve to distinguish between minimal pairs. The following examples are from t...
متن کاملDisambiguation of Tonally Unspecified Mandarin Syllables
The interpretation of written Mandarin monosyllables presented in tonally unspecified pinyin was investigated for 22 native speakers. Results showed a preference for high relative lexical frequency and, to a lesser extent low homophone density candidates, with some interaction between these two factors: where one candidate in a homophone cohort had a particularly high frequency, cohort density ...
متن کاملSplit Inflection in Neurolinguistics
Since Pollock’s 1989 paper, much linguistic argumentation has been mounted in favor of the split inflection hypothesis. This paper presents evidence from a neuropsychological angle in support of this hypothesis. Given that agrammatic aphasic patients demonstrate a selective deficit in the syntactic domain, it is tempting to look for impairment patterns that pertain to issues debated in current ...
متن کاملAsynchronous Preparation of Tonally Fused Intervals in Polyphonic Music
An analysis of a sample of polyphonic keyboard works by J.S. Bach shows that synchronous note onsets are avoided for those harmonic intervals that most promote tonal fusion (such as unison, fifths and octaves). This pattern is consistent with perceptual research showing an interaction between onset synchrony and tonal fusion in the formation of auditory streams (e.g., Vos, 1995). The results pr...
متن کاملInflection-point Higgs Inflation
Inflection-point inflation is an interesting possibility to realize a successful slow-roll inflation when inflation is driven by a single scalar field with its initial value below the Planck mass (φI . MP l). In order for a renormalization group (RG) improved effective λφ4 potential to develop an inflection-point, the quartic coupling λ(φ) must exhibit a minimum with an almost vanishing value i...
