Super Additive Similarity in Dioula Tone Harmony

چکیده
Phonological ganging is a type of cumulativity in constraint interaction where one strong constraint C1 can be overtaken by two weaker constraints C2 and C3 together but not by C2 or C3 independently (e.g., Jäger and Rosenbach 2006). In strict-ranking Optimality Theory (OT), phonological ganging is achieved via (local) constraint conjunction (e.g., Smolensky 1993, 2006; Baković 2000; Ito and Mester 2003; cf. Crowhurst and Hewitt 1997). The tableau in (1) illustrates the ganging case in which candidate (a) loses because it violates both C2 and C3, thus incurring a violation of the highly-ranked conjunction, C2&C3.

Consonant-Tone Interaction as Agreement by Correspondence
This paper addresses the on-going debate over the distinction between Agreement by Correspondence (Hansson 2001; Rose and Walker 2004; a.o.) and the previously dominant theory of autosegmental feature spreading, focusing on a key conceptual difference between the two theories: the role of similarity as the basis of harmony patterns. It is argued that Agreement by Correspondence’s unique ability...
متن کاملSUPER- AND SUB-ADDITIVE ENVELOPES OF AGGREGATION FUNCTIONS: INTERPLAY BETWEEN LOCAL AND GLOBAL PROPERTIES, AND APPROXIMATION
Super- and sub-additive transformations of aggregation functions have been recently introduced by Greco, Mesiar, Rindone and v{S}ipeky [The superadditive and the subadditive transformations of integrals and aggregation functions, {it Fuzzy Sets and Systems} {bf 291} (2016), 40--53]. In this article we give a survey of the recent development regarding the existence of aggregation functions with ...
متن کاملSuper- and sub-additive transformations of aggregation functions from the point of view of approximation
The way super- and sub-additive transformations of aggregation functions are introduced involve suprema and infima taken over simplexes whose dimensions may grow arbitrarily. Exact values of such transformations may thus be hard to determine in general. In this note we discuss methods of algorithmic approximation of such transformations.
متن کاملContinuity of super- and sub-additive transformations of continuous functions
We prove a continuity inheritance property for super- and sub-additive transformations of non-negative continuous multivariate functions defined on the domain of all non-negative points and vanishing at the origin. As a corollary of this result we obtain that super- and sub-additive transformations of continuous aggregation functions are again continuous aggregation functions.
متن کاملThe Psychophysics of Harmony Perception: Harmony is a Three-Tone Phenomenon
In line with musical “common sense” (but contrary to the century-old tradition of musical psychophysics), we show that harmony is an inherently three-tone phenomenon. Previous attempts at explaining the affective response to major/minor chords and resolved/unresolved chords on the basis of the summation of interval dissonance have been notably unsuccessful, but consideration of the relative siz...
