This paper(1) addresses the proper balance between the lexicon and grammar. Particularly, it takes a fresh look into lexical phonological irregularity and its implications for the lexicon-grammar interface, integrating insights from three domains: the use of prespecification in blocking alternations
A great deal of recent research has addressed the representation of laryngeal features. Debates in the literature focus on several major aspects of phonological theory, including monovalent versus bivalent features, gradient versus categorical processes, and phonetic detail in phonological represent
The standard model of directional stress assignment in Optimality Theory uses two gradient alignment constraints which assess the distance between edges of feet and words. This model predicts a large amount of symmetry in metrical typology, in terms of directionality and in terms of foot type. Yet m
Ternary rhythmic systems differ from binary systems in stressing every third syllable in a word, rather than every second. Ternary rhythm is well-established for only a small group of languages, including Chugach Alutiiq, Cayuvava, and Estonian, and possibly Winnebago. Nevertheless the stress patter
This volume presents ten studies in phonological first language acquisition.
Deze bijdrage beoogt een theoretische interpretatie van experimenteel onderzoek door Gillis en De Schutter (1996) naar intuïtieve syllabificatie bij Nederlands-lerende kinderen. Volgens Gillis en De Schutter (hierna: G&S) volgt syllabificatie bij kinderen grotendeels universele principes, zoals het
Editors’ preface Research into Language Typology poses two intriguing and related challenges to the linguist. One the one hand there is the challenge of isolating empirical data that either at long last seem to fill an inexplicable gap in what is commonly thought natural languages should be like, o
Dominant models of speech production have employed linguistic components with a high degree of functional specialization, positing that phonological processing occurs only after semantic and syntactic processing has been completed. It has also been claimed, however, that processing at the phonologic
