The Development of Indo‐Iranian Voiced Fricatives

open access: yesTransactions of the Philological Society, Volume 123, Issue 1, Page 97-115, March 2025.
Abstract The development of voiced sibilants is a long‐standing puzzle in Indo‐Iranian historical phonology. In Vedic, all voiced sibilants are lost from the system, but the details of this loss are complex and subject to debate. The most intriguing development concerns the word‐final ‐aḥ to ‐o in sandhi.

Phonological Feature Abstraction Before 6 Months: Amodal Recognition of Place of Articulation Across Multiple Consonants

open access: yesDevelopmental Science, Volume 28, Issue 2, March 2025.
ABSTRACT The classical view is that perceptual attunement to the native language, which emerges by 6–10 months, developmentally precedes phonological feature abstraction abilities. That assumption is challenged by findings from adults adopted into a new language environment at 3–5 months that imply they had already formed phonological feature ...

Testing sociolinguistic theory and methods in world Englishes

open access: yesWorld Englishes, Volume 44, Issue 1-2, Page 26-42, March-June 2025.
Abstract This article assesses mainstream sociolinguistic theory and methods in the context of world Englishes. Despite its obvious applicability, sociolinguistic theory has not always been the primary analytic model for world Englishes. The multilingual and sometimes mobile circumstances of world Englishes contexts do not always fit the usual ...

Exploring How Generative Adversarial Networks Learn Phonological Representations [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
This paper explores how Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) learn representations of phonological phenomena. We analyze how GANs encode contrastive and non-contrastive nasality in French and English vowels by applying the ciwGAN architecture (Begus 2021a).
