A Case of OCP Effects in Intonational Phonology

نویسنده

  • Byron Ahn
چکیده

Assuming a set of tone-meaning mappings for English intonational phonology such as Pierrehumbert and Hirschberg (1990), certain data contain tones that would be otherwise unexpected. That is to say, we find surface representations that seem to contradict the assumption that the choice of tone target in English intonation is meaningful. Given such data, one might assume that a theory of tone-meaning mappings is insufficient. However, I will attempt to show that, by modeling intonational phonology with a system of Optimality Theoretic constraint, we can derive these seemingly aberrant surface representations as simple cases of OCP effects.

OCP Effects in Telugu

The antiantigemination phenomenon in Telugu is a case study of the relationship of the role of the OCP in lexical phonology, formal post-lexical phonology and phonetics. In this paper a number of different experimental findings relating to the OCP in various compartments of the grammar – the lexicon, the phonological component and the phonetic component – that seem like unrelated phenomena are ...

The Intonation of Gapping and Coordination in Japanese: Evidence for Intonational Phrase and Utterance

In previous studies of Japanese intonational phonology, levels of prosodic constituents above the Major Phrase have not received much attention. This paper argues that at least two prosodic levels exist above the Major Phrase in Japanese. Through a detailed investigation of the intonation of gapping and coordination in Japanese, we argue that each syntactic clause projects its own Intonational ...

Prosodic and intonational domains in speech synthesis

An intonational domain corresponds to the part of an utterance spanned by one intonation contour. We lay out a theory of intonational domains that is rooted in intonational (autosegmental) phonology and prosodic phonology. We focus on restructuring—the process that joins two intonational domains together to form a single domain. We report on a perception experiment about restructuring involving...
