Phonological Substitution is Motivated by Adjacent Phonological Features: Evidence from Classical Arabic

Phonological Derivation by Phase: Evidence from Basque

Phonological generalization from distributional evidence

We propose a model of L2 phonological learning in which the acquisition of novel phonological category inventories proceeds not by mapping L2 inputs onto existing category inventories available in L1 and other already known languages, but rather through general categorization processes in which L1 and other language knowledge serves as an inductive bias. This approach views linguistic knowledge...

Week 2 – Phonological Features

h ] in Nepali. Below are some minimal pairs. Assume there are minimal or near-minimal pairs for all combinations. Explain why the pair illustrating the [p/p h ] distinction is more informative in a way than the pair illustrating the [p/b h ] distinction. What phonetic dimensions must be associated with the contrast? What about the English and Spanish sounds discussed earlier?

Features in Phonological Theory

Features are central in phonological theory. They come in different varieties. Using the methods of [263] we shall analyse a few conditions on phonological structures. This will elucidate the tradeoff between features on the one hand (and structure) and principles on the other. Without making any claims as to which method is superior, we shall simply outline what choices one has in describing t...

Detection of phonological features

We report work on the first component of a two-stage speech recognition architecture based on phonological features rather than phones. This paper reports experiments on three phonological feature systems: (1) the Sound Pattern of English (SPE) system which uses binary features, (2) a multi-valued (MV) feature system which uses traditional phonetic categories such as manner, place, etc., and (3...
