The paper presents an integrated environment for morphological analysis of word-forms of the Slovene language. The system consists of a lexicon input and maintenance module, a lexicon output module for accessing lexical word forms, a two-level rule compiler and a two-level morphological analysis/synthesis unit. The basic paradigms and lexical alternations of word forms are handled by the lexico...

Underspecification in the underlying representation cannot give rise to marked structure on the surface, because Optimality Theory grammars force an output to be equally or less marked than the input. Underspecification can still account for alternations involving unmarked structure, but it is only useful when such alternations exist along with forms that do not alternate. The evidence for the ...

A Cantonese experiment is described in which the shadowing of spoken targets as a function of phonological similarity to either a succeeding prime (backward priming) or a preceding prime (forward priming) is investigated. In the backward priming conditions, alternations of onset, rime, or tone between prime and target produced inhibition, whereas in the forward priming conditions, alternations ...

VEPs were recorded using 5.0 c/deg square wave gratings presented at vertical and oblique (45 deg) orientations and phase-alternated at two rates, 6 alternations/sec and 12 alternations/sec. In agreement with previous reports, VEP amplitude was smaller for obliquely oriented gratings than for vertically oriented gratings at both alternation rates. Unlike previous studies, however, the authors f...

In two experiments, subjects were given arbitrary letter cues or meaningful word cues that specified the task to be performed on a subsequent target stimulus. Letter and word cues were presented in separate blocks. There were two cues of each type for each task. Three kinds of transitions separated tasks: cue repetitions, in which both the cue and the task repeated; task repetitions, in which t...
