Phonetic Explanations for Sound Patterns: Implications for Grammars of Competence
Phonological grammars try to represent speakers’ knowledge so that the ‘natural’ behavior of speech sounds becomes self-evident. Phonetic models have the same goals but have no psychological pretensions. Phonetic models succeed in explaining the natural behavior of speech, whereas phonological representations largely fail. The ‘phonetic naturalness’ requirement in phonological grammars should b...

1.1 Limiting the scope of phonology. Kinds of information conveyed by speech Sociolinguistic differences are not the same as linguistic differences What counts as a linguistic contrast 1.2 Non-linguistic aspects of speech\ Speaker attitudes, style, peronal identity Spoken language and written language The role of intonation 1.3 Universal phonetics and phonology Equating sounds in different lang...
متن کاملThe Measurement of phonetic Similarity
There are many reasc~s for wanting to measure the degree of phoae-tic similarity between members of a group of languages or dialects. The present study grew out of a research project which was designed to get data that might have a bearing on some of the practical problems which exist in Uganda. In the Southern part of Uganda, where two thirds of the nine million people live, there are numerous...
متن کاملThe Effect of Perceived Phonetic Similarity on Non-Native Sound Learning by Children and Adults
It is axiomatic that most children, unlike adults, learn to speak and understand a second language (L2) in a native-like manner1 (Munro, Flege, & MacKay, 1996). One of the most salient factors influencing the outcome of child and adult L2 learning is the effect of the leamer's native language (Ll) on the ability to learn L2 consonants and vowels (or "sounds" for short). Adult L2 learners' speec...
متن کاملPhonetic Alignment and Similarity
The computation of the optimal phonetic alignment and the phonetic similarity between words is an important step in many applications in computational phonology, including dialectometry. After discussing several related algorithms, I present a novel approach to the problem that employs a scoring scheme for computing phonetic similarity between phonetic segments on the basis of multivalued artic...
