Lexically Ranked Ocp-place Constraints in Muna
In this paper, we analyze the consonant co-occurrence restrictions in the Austronesian language Muna. As in Arabic and other languages, homorganic segments are underrepresented, particularly ones that are also similar in other ways. However, in Muna [voice] plays an unusually central role in this pattern. We analyze the Muna restrictions within Optimality Theory, using OCP-PLACE constraints rel...
متن کاملWord segmentation in Persian continuous speech using F0 contour
Word segmentation in continuous speech is a complex cognitive process. Previous research on spoken word segmentation has revealed that in fixed-stress languages, listeners use acoustic cues to stress to de-segment speech into words. It has been further assumed that stress in non-final or non-initial position hinders the demarcative function of this prosodic factor. In Persian, stress is retract...
متن کاملPhonological constraint induction in a connectionist network: learning OCP-Place constraints from data
A significant problem in computational language learning is that of inferring the content of well-formedness constraints from input data. In this article, we approach the constraint induction problem as the gradual adjustment of subsymbolic constraints in a connectionist network. In particular, we develop a multi-layer feed-forward network that learns the constraints that underlie restrictions ...
متن کاملOCP Effects in Telugu
The antiantigemination phenomenon in Telugu is a case study of the relationship of the role of the OCP in lexical phonology, formal post-lexical phonology and phonetics. In this paper a number of different experimental findings relating to the OCP in various compartments of the grammar – the lexicon, the phonological component and the phonetic component – that seem like unrelated phenomena are ...
متن کاملSpeech segmentation in aphasia.
BACKGROUND Speech segmentation is one of the initial and mandatory phases of language learning. Although some people with aphasia have shown a preserved ability to learn novel words, their speech segmentation abilities have not been explored. AIMS We examined the ability of individuals with chronic aphasia to segment words from running speech via statistical learning. We also explored the rel...
