Complex patterns in phonological systems

چکیده
To illustrate this point, typological studies (Liljencrants and Lindblom, 1972, Maddieson, 1984, Vallée & al., 2002) have shown for example that phonological systems tend to be organized in such a way to reach a balance between ease of articulation and perceptual salience. Therefore, any measure of complexity of phonological systems would have to consider both dimensions. However, we still don't have any objective and quantitative way to calculate complexity on either articulatory or perceptual dimensions, let alone when considered together.

Associations between phonology and syntax in speech-delayed children.
Interactions between phonology and syntax are inspected in continuous speech samples from 30 speech-delayed children. Two types of interactions are examined: The co-occurrence of speech and language delay and the effects of phonological reduction on the realization of phonetically complex morphophonemes. Four possible patterns of association between the phonological and syntactic systems are ou...
متن کاملUse of complex phonological patterns in speech processing: evidence from Korean
Korean has a very complex phonology, with many interacting alternations. In a coronal-/i/ sequence, depending on the type of phonological boundary present, alternations such as palatalization, nasal insertion, nasal assimilation, coda neutralization, and intervocalic voicing can apply. This paper investigates how the phonological patterns of Korean affect processing of morphemes and words. Past...
متن کاملFundamental Problems in Comparative Phonetics and Phonology: Does Upsid Help to Solve Them?
The approach to phonological comparison adopted in UPSID as well as other studies fails to recognize the abstract nature of even the most phonetically based definition of a phonemic system. Phonemes receive a simple phonetic translation based on one allophone. Phonological comparison is therefore carried out using no more than arbitrary selections of the phonetics of the languages involved. Pho...
متن کاملComparative Effectiveness of Semantic Feature Analysis (SFA) and Phonological Components Analysis (PCA) for Anomia Treatment in Persian Speaking Patients With Aphasia
Objectives: Anomia is one of the most common and persistent symptoms of aphasia. Although treatments of anomia usually focus on semantic and/or phonological levels, which both have been demonstrated to be effective, the relationship between the underlying functional deficit in naming and response to a particular treatment approach remains unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the rela...
متن کاملAn evolutionary model of phonological inventories based on synchronic data
The sound systems of the world’s languages exhibit properties that fit the framework of complex adaptive systems well. Indeed, the structure of inventories is often explained in terms of constraints weighting on phonological units and on their interactions (Liljencrants & Lindblom, 1972 ; Lindblom et al., 1983 ; Lindblom & Maddieson, 1988). In this paper, we present an evolutionary model of pho...
