Abstract The article explores sensations’ role in cognition through analyzing expressions natural language search of a sensory schema. I argue that if it exists, the schema originates from universal need to differentiate between patterns by increasing contrasts, which is linguistically manifested practice grading adjectives and adverbs context antonyms.

The present research investigates what drives the prosodic marking of contrastive information. For example, a typically-developing speaker of a Germanic language like Dutch generally refers to a pink car as a “PINK car” (accented words in capitals) when a previously mentioned car was red. The main question addressed in this chapter is whether contrastive intonation is produced with respect to t...

All languages allow stop place contrasts in prevocalic position. Many languages allow stop place contrasts before liquids [l, r]. Indeed, stop-liquid clusters like [br, gl] are among the most common word-initial consonant clusters [2]. The preference for stop-liquid clusters is commonly attributed to Sonority Sequencing constraints – specifically a preference for large sonority rises in onset c...
