Consonant Gemination in Japanese Loanword Phonology
The distribution of geminate obstruents in Japanese loanwords appears very complex. Some consonants are more prone to gemination than others, on the one hand, and one and the same consonant is more likely to geminate in some phonological contexts than in others, on the other hand. This paper tackles these problems by considering the relationship between consonant gemination in native words and ...
متن کاملLoanword adaptations : three problems for phonology ( and a psycholinguistic solution ) *
1. Introduction Phonologists have long held an interest in loanword adaptations, that is in transformations of foreign words into forms that better conform to the phonotactics of the borrowing language. Analyses of such adaptations generally involve phonological processes that apply to the phonetic representation of the words in the source language. In this paper, we look at loanword adaptation...
متن کاملPerplexity of bi-phone phonotactic models in Korean loanword phonology
The paper presents a corpus study which shows that the probability distribution of bi-phones in a lexicon of Korean loanwords is significantly different from that in a typical Korean lexicon or a lexicon consisting solely of native Korean and Sino-Korean words. This is demonstrated by comparing the perplexity of two types of bi-phone phonotactic models: a model trained on a set of Korean loanwo...
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...
متن کاملMultiple Scansions in Loanword Phonology: Evidence from Cantonese
In loanword phonology we seek to uncover the processes by which speakers possessing one phonological system perceive, apply native representational constraints on, and ultimately produce forms which have been generated by a different phonological system. In other words, loanwords do not come equipped with their own phonological representation. For any phonetic string, it is only native speakers...
