AMAR: A Computational Model of Autosegmental Phonology [PDF]
, 1993 This report describes a computational system with which phonologists may describe a natural language in terms of autosegmental phonology, currently the most advanced theory pertaining to the sound systems of human languages.

Consonant gradation in Fula suffixes the ugly truth
Studies in African Linguistics, 1988 In this paper, I will argue that Skousen's account of the differences between stems and suffixes requires substantial revision and elaboration. I will argue further that the complexities of the behavior of suffixes preclude the possibility of providing ...

Input and output locality and representation
Glossa, 2021 Using a rigorous, computational notion of locality, this paper evaluates one of the central motivations for autosegmental representations (ARs)—that they reduce long-distance processes to local ones.

Representing morphological tone in a computational grammar of Hausa
Journal of Language Modelling, 2016 In this paper I shall discuss the representation of morphological tone in Hausa, as implemented in a computational grammar of the language, referred to as HaG, which has been developed within the framework of Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar.

Key aspects of declarative phonology [PDF]
, 1996 Salford, UKConstraints are a major component in many phonological theories, past and present. They are exploited to their full in Declarative Phonology. It is worthwhile to briefly state some general considerations about the circumstances which have led ...

Towards an International Prosodic Alphabet (IPrA)
Laboratory Phonology, 2016 In this article we present a set of arguments in favor of having access to two levels of prosodic representation, broad phonetic and phonological, and the motivations for developing a set of cross-linguistically transparent and consistent labels (e.g ...

Phonetics and phonology of the F0 valley in Persian intonation [PDF]
نشریه پژوهشهای زبانشناسی, 2023 This research aims to improve speech synthesis in Persian and investigate the pitch contour fall between two H* peaks carried out in the framework of the Autosegmental Metrical (AM) theory of intonational phonology.

Aspects of the phonology of Sukwa: an optimality theoretic analysis [PDF]
, 2011 Phonological studies of Bantu languages have continued to be an area of investigation for many scholars over the years. These studies have discussed the language's sound patterns syllable structures, phonological processes and suprasegmental features and

initial consonant cluster in sistani dialect- non- linear phonology [PDF]
مطالعات زبانها و گویشهای غرب ایران, 2015 Autosegmental phonology has been presented by Goldsmith(1976) who introduced phonological representation as a multi-layer system and studied it in a multi-dimensional space where each dimension has its independent features.

In defence of the skeletal tier
Studies in African Linguistics, 1988 This paper investigates empirically the viability of a hypothesis (advanced by Lowenstamm & Kaye [1986]) that morphological classes (in particular, those typical in languages with nonconcatenative morphologies) are fully definable in terms of syllabic ...
