This article shows that specific properties of long-distance phonotactic patterns derived from
consonantal harmony patterns (Hansson 2001, Rose and Walker 2004) follow from a …

In their everyday communication, parents do not only speak but also sing with their infants.
However, it remains unclear whether infants' can discriminate speech from song or prefer …

Linguistic and non‐linguistic pattern learning have been studied separately, but we argue
for a comparative approach. Analogous inductive problems arise in phonological and visual …

Two of the key tasks facing the language-learning infant lie at the level of phonology:
establishing which sounds are contrastive in the native inventory, and determining what their …

An important distinction between phonology and syntax has been overlooked. All
phonological patterns belong to the regular region of the Chomsky Hierarchy, but not all …

There has been a recurrent debate in generative phonology concerning the inclusion of
hierarchical prosodic structure in phonological representations. On one side, there are those …

The end-result of perceptual reorganization in infancy is currently viewed as a reconfigured
perceptual space,“warped” around native-language phonetic categories, which then acts as …

Emerging phonotactic knowledge facilitates the development of the mental lexicon, as
demonstrated by studies showing that infants use the phonotactic patterns of their native …
