چکیده
Many scholars have argued that the distinction between natural and unnatural does not any moral relevance, either because make sense or because, even if it sense, sense. Before we can decide on latter, must therefore determine first whether a semantic be made. In this article, I argue maintained. spite of fact categories are blurred as no things completely unnatural, meaningfully distinguish different types unnaturalness along natural-unnatural spectrum. To my knowledge, article is publication to three unnaturalness.

متن کاملPhonetic naturalness and unnaturalness in Japanese loanword phonology
This paper argues that phonetic naturalness and unnaturalness can interact within a single grammatical system. In Japanese loanword phonology, only voiced geminates, but not voiced singletons, devoice to dissimilate from another voiced obstruent. The neutralizability difference follows from a ranking which Japanese speakers created on perceptual grounds: IDENT(voi)Sing » IDENT(voi)Gem. On the o...
