Predicting Grammatical Categories
We investigate to what extent the grammatical class(es) of a word can be predicted exclusively on the basis of phonological and prosodic information. We report on several experiments with an artificial learning system which has to assign English nouns and verbs to their appropriate grammatical class using various types of phonological and prosodic information. We replicate the claim articulated...
متن کاملRelating phonetic and phonological categories
. Recent proposals to treat phonetic representations as the semantic interpretation of phonological representations are technically problematic to implement. The main di culty is that phonological representations are discrete while phonetic representations are continuous which makes the standard method of describing semantic interpretation as a homomorphism between sortally equivalent algebras ...
متن کاملStructure of Phonetic Categories
Recently, speech researchers have begun to examine the formation of speech sound (phonetic) categories and to analyze the internal structure of the consequent categories. One of the most prominent products of this subfield has been the Perceptual Magnet Effect (PME) and the attendant Native Language Magnet (NLM) theory of Kuhl (1991, 2000). In the present paper, a critical review of the evidenc...
متن کاملA note on invariance of grammatical categories
This squib aims to further our understanding of the relation between invariants of grammar and grammatical categories. Keenan and Stabler (2003) propose to formalize of the notion of ‘structural/ grammatical’ in terms of automorphism invariance, based on a very general notion of formal grammars (Bare Grammars). It is natural to think that category labels (more precisely: sets of language expres...
متن کاملThe Pragmatic Nature of Grammatical Categories
This paper promotes the hypothesis that central grammatical categories must be analysed as pragmatic rather than semantic entities, in order to explain their seemingly redundant typological distribution. A case is made of the relatively complex English past tense system versus the single Russian past tense, and it is shown how the distinctions within the former system can be analysed in terms o...
