Computational modeling of phonological learning

G Jarosz - Annual Review of Linguistics, 2019 - annualreviews.org
Recent advances in computational modeling have led to significant discoveries about the
representation and acquisition of phonological knowledge and the limits on language …

Asymmetries in generalizing alternations to and from initial syllables

M Becker, A Nevins, J Levine - Language, 2012 - JSTOR
In the English lexicon, laryngeal alternations in the plural (eg leaf~ leaves) impact
monosyllables more than finally stressed polysyllables. This is the opposite of what happens …

[图书][B] Changing minds changing tools: From learning theory to language acquisition to language change

V Kapatsinski - 2018 - books.google.com
A book that uses domain-general learning theory to explain recurrent trajectories of
language change. In this book, Vsevolod Kapatsinski argues that language acquisition …

Source-oriented generalizations as grammar inference in Russian vowel deletion

M Becker, M Gouskova - Linguistic inquiry, 2016 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Speakers learn detailed generalizations about the morphophonology of their language and
extend them to nonce words. We propose a theory of this morphophonological knowledge …

[图书][B] Distributing morphologically conditioned phonology: Three case studies from Guébie

HL Sande - 2017 - search.proquest.com
The focus of this study is process morphology in Guébie, an endangered Kru language
spoken in Côte d'Ivoire. Unlike many primarily affixing morphological systems, much of the …

A unified account of conditioned phonological alternations: Evidence from Guébie

H Sande - Language, 2019 - muse.jhu.edu
This article expands on cophonologies by phase, a model of the interface between
morphology and phonology, which was introduced in Sande & Jenks 2018. The crucial …

[图书][B] A model of sonority based on pitch intelligibility

A Albert - 2023 - books.google.com
Sonority is a central notion in phonetics and phonology and it is essential for generalizations
related to syllabic organization. However, to date there is no clear consensus on the …

Weird inflects but OK: Making sense of morphological generation errors

K Gorman, AD McCarthy, R Cotterell… - Proceedings of the …, 2019 - aclanthology.org
We conduct a manual error analysis of the CoNLL-SIGMORPHON Shared Task on
Morphological Reinflection. This task involves natural language generation: systems are …

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 …
