The Gradient OCP − Tonal Evidence from Swedish
نویسنده
چکیده
The OCP, which is exhibited at various levels of the phonological representation (e.g. featural, melodic, and tonal), has been extensively discussed in numerous studies (Leben 1973, 1978, 1980; McCarthy 1979, 1986; Archangeli 1986; Odden 1986, 1988, 1994; Archangeli & Pulleyblank 1987; Hyman 1987; Kenstowicz & Kidda 1987; Myers 1987, 1997ab; Yip 1988; Hewitt & Prince 1989; Myers & Carleton 1996, Alderete 1997; Itô & Mester 1996ab, 1998, and Keer 1999). These studies have introduced and analyzed patterns obeying the OCP in various languages, and also discussed the internal nature of the phenomenon, as well as offered tools for deriving the OCP effects in different theoretical frameworks.

Phonetic markedness, turning points, and anticipatory attention
Phonetic markedness regarding linguistically relevant tonal patterns (Accent 2, boundary tones) in Central Swedish is discussed. Both tonal markedness and F0 turning points are assumed to be important cues for anticipatory attention to grammatical structure during speech processing. Empirical evidence from neurolinguistic and psycholinguistic experiments for the assumed relation between anticip...
متن کاملPhonological features in the bilingual lexicon: Insights from tonal accent in Swedish
Scandinavian languages like Swedish employ tonal accent as a lexical phonological feature, where suprasegmental information can be the sole factor differentiating between words. Using cross-modal semantic fragment priming we tested the following: (a) Do monolingual speakers of Swedish use tonal accent information during lexical access? (b) Do bilingual speakers, who grew up with one tonal (Swed...
متن کاملThe relative perceptual weight of two Swedish prosodic contrasts
In addition to 9 vowel and 18 consonant phonemes, Swedish has three prosodic phonemic contrasts: word stress, quantity and tonal word accent. There are also examples of distinctive phrase or sentence stress, where a verb can be followed by either an unstressed preposition or a stressed particle. This study focuses on word level and more specifically on word stress and tonal word accent in disyl...
متن کاملAsymmetric processing of lexical tonal contrast in Swedish.
Languages such as Swedish use suprasegmental information such as tone, over and above segments, to mark lexical contrast. Theories differ with respect to the abstractness and specification of tone in the mental lexicon. In a forced choice task, we tested Swedish listeners' responses to words with segmentally identical first syllables differing in tonal contours (characterized as Accents 1 and 2...
متن کاملAn Intonational Typology of Swedish
The aim of this paper is to present a suitable framework for the description of intonational variation within Swedish. The speech data base used mainly consists of natural spontaneous speech collected from a large number of varieties of Swedish within the project SweDia 2000. The intonational typology discussed takes into account both potentially cross-linguistic and more language and dialect s...
