statistical and computational models of language acquisition, focusing on morphology and …

Inducing nonlocal constraints from baseline phonotactics

M Gouskova, G Gallagher - Natural Language & Linguistic Theory, 2020 - Springer
Nonlocal phonological patterns such as vowel harmony and long-distance consonant
assimilation and dissimilation motivate representations that include only the interacting …

Selectional restrictions as phonotactics over sublexicons

M Gouskova, L Newlin-Łukowicz, S Kasyanenko - Lingua, 2015 - Elsevier
Affixation and allomorphy are often phonologically predictable: thus, the English indefinite
“a” appears before consonants, and “an” before vowels. We propose a theory of …

Paradigm gaps are associated with weird “distributional semantics” properties: Russian defective nouns and their case and number paradigms

YY Chuang, D Brown, RH Baayen, R Evans - The Mental Lexicon, 2022 - jbe-platform.com
