Metrical phonology in HPSG
This paper proposes a new approach to the prosodysyntax interface inHPSG. Previous approaches to prosody in HPSG (Klein, 2000; Haji-Abdolhosseini, 2003) represent prosodic information by constructing metrical constituent structure in the tradition of (Selkirk, 1980; Liberman and Prince, 1977). One drawback of this approach is that it does not allow for a direct representation of purely metrical...
متن کاملEvaluating Metrical Phonology - a Computational- Empirical Approach
This study aims at providing an empirical basis for the evaluation of predictions made by metrical phonology. The predictions are compared to perceptual syllable prominence annotated in a database of German read speech. An evaluation baseline was defined on the correlation between prominence ratings for different speakers. Then, different sets of rules for prominence prediction were tested and ...
متن کاملWhat a Perceptron Reveals about Metrical Phonology
Metrical phonology is a relatively successful theory that attempts to explain stress systems in language. This paper discusses a perceptron model of stress, pointing out interesting parallels between certain aspects of the model and the constructs and predictions of metrical theory. The distribution of learning times obtained from perceptron experiments corresponds with theoretical predictions ...
متن کاملMore learnable than thou? Testing metrical phonology representations with child-directed speech
One way to describe a language’s grammar is as a compact system that encodes the regularities of the language. This system allows someone to immediately comprehend and generate novel linguistic items that follow those encoded regularities, and so grammars are often viewed as generative systems. Notably, because languages vary with respect to the specific regularities they have, the generative s...
متن کاملLearning English Metrical Phonology: When Probability Distributions Are Not Enough
Language involves knowledge of multiple complex linguistic systems, such as phonology, morphology, and syntax. For each system, the process of acquisition requires children to discover the underlying components of that system, which native speakers use to generate the observable data. Theoretical research traditionally provides a description of the knowledge to be acquired, identifying what chi...
