3 Place assimilation *
نویسنده
چکیده
It is not difficult to derive place assimilation within the framework of previous theories such as classical generative theory, feature geometry, or underspecification theory. This is also true in Optimality Theory (Prince and Smolensky 1993). For instance, if there is a markedness constraint of the type *HETERORGANICCLUSTER, and faithfulness constraints for place of articulation are ranked below it, then place assimilation will be derived, as shown below.

Coronal Specification and Licensing in Place Assimilation
Based on unmarkedness of coronal cross-linguistically, coronal has been considered to be underspecified. Also, place assimilation where coronal tends to assimilate to the adjacent labial or velar by a featurefilling rule has been support the underspecification of coronals. I instead argue that coronal should be specified in Optimality Theory despite its unmarkedness, and place assimilation no l...
متن کاملModelling regressive and progressive effects of assimilation in speech perception
Models of the perception of phonologically variant speech differ in the extent to which contextual information is used predictively versus regressively. These temporal disparities reflect similar differences in the experimental literature on the perception of English place assimilation (in which for example the place of the /n/ in lean bacon takes on the bilabial place of articulation of the fo...

Opposing views have emerged in phonological and phonetic theory on whether perceptual place assimilation is exclusively attributable to gestural reduction or can be triggered by gestural overlap as well. Specifically, regressive place assimilation in Korean /pk/ clusters has been used as argument for the hypothesis that gestural reduction is uniquely responsible for perceptual place assimilatio...

متن کاملHelp or hindrance: how violation of different assimilation rules affects spoken-language processing.
Four phoneme-detection studies tested the conclusion from recent research that spoken-language processing is inhibited by violation of obligatory assimilation processes in the listeners' native language. In Experiment 1, native listeners of German detected a target fricative in monosyllabic Dutch nonwords, half of which violated progressive German fricative place assimilation. In contrast to th...
