Phonological Assimilation and Visual Word Recognition

Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2006
Are the visual word-processing tasks of naming and lexical decision sensitive to systematic phonological properties that may or may not be specified in the spelling? Two experiments with Hangul, the alphabetic orthography of Korea, were directed at the effects of the phonological process of assimilation whereby one articulation changes to conform to a ...

On the Role of Perception in Shaping Phonological Assimilation Rules

Language and Speech, 1992
Assimilation of nasals to the place of articulation of following consonants is a common and natural process among the world's languages. Recent phonological theory attributes this naturalness to the postulated geometry of articulatory features and the notion of spreading (McCarthy, 1988). Others view assimilation as a result of perception (Ohala, 1990),

Compensation for Phonological Assimilation in Bilingual Children

Language Learning and Development, 2020
We investigate bilingual children’s perception of assimilations, i.e. phonological rules by which a consonant at a word edge adopts a phonological feature of a neighboring consonant.

Assimilation rates of borrowings and phonological productivity

Language, 1976
In current phonological theory, borrowings are assumed to exhibit a fixed set of foreign features which distinguish them from the native vocabulary of a given language. In such a theory, assimilation of the borrowing appears to be a sudden loss of these features.

Tone Assimilation in Igbo: A Phonological Description

2021
Past studies of assimilation in Igbo focus attention on segmental phonemes without relating assimilation to supra-segments (tone in particular). This paper re-investigates assimilation in Igbo with the aim of establishing that tone assimilation exists in the language. Data for analysis are obtained from both the primary and secondary sources. While the

Phonetic motivation for phonological processes: Labiodental assimilations in xhosa

South African Journal of Linguistics, 1996
Hierdie artikel fokus op die verhouding tussen fonetiek en fonologie deur die verskynsel van homorgane nasaalassimilasie met labiodentale frikatiewe aan te spreek. Dit word aangetoon dat die klassieke versie van distinktiewe kenmerkteorie nie sodanige proses kan verantwoord sonder om van ad hoc kenmerke gebruik te maak nie.

Compensation for phonological assimilation can be triggered by nonspeech sounds

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2004
Several previous experiments have shown that phonological assimilations are compensated for perceptually by a context-sensitive mechanism. For instance, the Hungarian assimilated form ‘‘bar’’ of the word ‘‘bal’’ (‘‘left’’) is recognized as such only if it occurs in a context that allows assimilation (i.e., ‘‘balrol’’ assimilated to ‘‘barrol,’’ ‘‘from ...

Phonological contrast and coda saliency of sonorant assimilation in Korean

Journal of East Asian Linguistics, 2007
This study provides supporting evidence for the claim in Sohn (Studies in Phonetics, Phonology and Morphology 12:307–324, 2006) that the nature of the geminate output in Korean sonorant assimilation is crucially dependent on the stem-final sonorant. Given the generally accepted claim of positional faithfulness to the onset (Lombardi, Natural Language ...

The assimilation of Dravidian loans to Konkani phonological and morphological patterns

Indo-Iranian Journal, 1977
After briefly reviewing the status of Konkani in the Dravidian area, and the extent of Dravidian influence on this Indo-Aryan language, the assimilation of Dravidian loan words to Konkani phonological and morphological patterns is examined in detail. In the process of accommodation, Dravidian loanwords have undergone various phonological modifications (
