9 veriied for German by means of electromagnetic articulography. Such a study should then also incorporate medial clusters as well as consonantal nuclei. Also further linguistic dimensions such as word accent etc. deserve closer investigation as to their innuence on timing. Machine learning of parametric time models from a gesturally segmented and annotated corpus should constitute a promising ...

For any phonotactic restriction on syllable onsets and codas, it can be shown that parallel restrictions are attested at edges of each higher prosodic domain. Onsets can be required at the beginnings of syllables, words, or utterances; codas can be banned at the ends of any of these constituents; and so on. This paper argues that these restrictions follow from constraint schemata: any markednes...

The three approaches to too-many-solutions problems discussed in the previous chapter do not treat them as symptomatic of significant generalizations about input-output mappings rather than outputs. Because this systematic challenge to OT is not recognized, previous attacks on these problems, apart from de Lacy's general proposal, see them as an assortment of individual difficult cases and anal...

1. Introduction Phonologists have long held an interest in loanword adaptations, that is in transformations of foreign words into forms that better conform to the phonotactics of the borrowing language. Analyses of such adaptations generally involve phonological processes that apply to the phonetic representation of the words in the source language. In this paper, we look at loanword adaptation...

In this paper the research have tried to show the pattern variations of sound units in Amharic language for multiple pronunciation model. This are variation of sound units at lexical level due to dialects. After that an attempt to build a pronunciation dictionary for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR).At last comments and recommendations are included. Amharic is an official language of Ethiopia...

Sebagai masyarakat minoriti di Malaysia, Bugis cenderung menyerap masuk leksikal daripada bahasa lain khususnya tempatan kawasan mereka akibat proses asimilasi yang berlaku. Justeru, kajian ini dilakukan untuk menjawab persoalan: (1) bagaimana strategi adaptasi kata pinjaman digunakan dalam penyerapan asing ke Bugis, dan­­­­ (2) berlaku itu dapat dijelaskan menggunakan pendekatan ­­­Koresponden...

In this paper I provide arguments from two case studies in support of Kimper’s (2011) new Trigger Competition approach to vowel harmony, which is based on autosegmental linking and the positively formulated Spread constraint. The first argument is based on Hungarian vacillation, in which sequences of vowels that individually do not participate in backness harmony can conspire to create free var...

I propose a restricted theory of tone-TBU association called Basic Tonal Theory (BTT). BTT includes six well-attested constraints, and a restricted GEN. The typology contains attested cases of tone overcrowding resolution such as tone deletion, mora epenthesis, and mora deletion, but also predicts unattested cases of languages that resolve tonal crowding by using a combination of the aforementi...

Bird and Klein show us how various phonological constructs--feature geometry, the prosodic hierarchy, well-formedness constraints on strings of segments, templatic/autosegmental phonology, morphology-phonology interactions, and vowel-zero alternat i o n s m a y be treated in a rigorous fashion using the the formal resources of HPSG. To the incautious critic (or the skeptical phonologist) it may...
