Words cluster phonetically beyond phonotactic regularities.
Recent evidence suggests that cognitive pressures associated with language acquisition and use could affect the organization of the lexicon. On one hand, consistent with noisy channel models of language (e.g., Levy, 2008), the phonological distance between wordforms should be maximized to avoid perceptual confusability (a pressure for dispersion). On the other hand, a lexicon with high phonolog...
متن کاملThe role of prosody in morphologically governed phonotactic regularities
One of the most convincing arguments for positing prosodic constituents such as the syllable or the mora comes from capturing the regularities of segment distribution. Under this view, originally introduced by Kahn 1978, prosodic organization is directly responsible for most aspects of segment sequencing and segment alternations. However, determining the role of prosody in cases of abundant int...
متن کاملInfants learn phonotactic regularities from brief auditory experience.
Two experiments investigated whether novel phonotactic regularities, not present in English, could be acquired by 16.5-month-old infants from brief auditory experience. Subjects listened to consonant-vowel-consonant syllables in which particular consonants were artificially restricted to either initial or final position (e.g. /baep/ not /paeb/). In a later head-turn preference test, infants lis...
متن کاملAutomatic segmentation of English words using phonotactic and syllable information
It is difficult to demonstrate the effectiveness of prosodic features in automatic word recognition. Recently, we applied the suprasegmental concept and proposed an extra layer of acoustic modeling with syllables. Nevertheless, there is a mismatch between the syllable and the word units and that makes subsequent steps after acoustic modeling difficult. In this study, we explore English word seg...
متن کاملLearning new words II: Phonotactic probability in verb learning.
Phonotactic probability, a measure of the likelihood of occurrence of a sound sequence, appears to facilitate noun learning (H. L. Storkel, 2001). Nouns and verbs, however, tend to differ in rate of acquisition, indicating that word-learning mechanisms may differ across grammatical class. The purpose of the current study was to examine the effect of phonotactic probability on verb learning. Thi...
