Unsupervised Discovery of Phonological Categories through Supervised Learning of Morphological Rules
We describe a case study in the application of {\em symbolic machine learning} techniques for the discovery of linguistic rules and categories. A supervised rule induction algorithm is used to learn to predict the correct diminutive suffix given the ...

Abstract Selective admissions at universities in the United Kingdom aim to ensure a baseline language competence, yet, despite persistent achievement disparities across linguistic backgrounds, systematic comparisons of linguistic skills underpinning academic success remain rare.

Language comprehension and the rhythm of perception
It is widely agreed that language understanding has a distinctive phenomenology, as illustrated by phenomenal contrast cases. Yet it remains unclear how to account for the perceptual phenomenology of language experience. I advance a rhythmic account, which explains this phenomenology in terms of changes in the rhythm of sensory capacities in both ...

Phonographic neighbors, not orthographic neighbors, determine word naming latencies [PDF]
The orthographic neighborhood size (N) of a word—the number of words that can be formed from that word by replacing one letter with another in its place—has been found to have facilitatory effects in word naming.

Multiword sequences do not predict speaking proficiency in dialogue: A pair‐level analysis
Abstract This study revisited the commonly held view that the use of multiword sequences (MWSs) is a reliable predictor of L2 speaking proficiency in monologue, by extending the investigation from monologic to dialogic speaking contexts. We accessed dialogic performance data from 127 test‐takers of the Test of English for Educational Purposes assessed ...

On the avoidance of voiced sibilant affricates [PDF]
In this paper it is argued that several typologically unrelated languages share the tendency to avoid voiced sibilant affricates. This tendency is explained by appealing to the phonetic properties of the sounds, and in particular to their aerodynamic ...

Softening the Border: A Capacities Approach to the Perception–Cognition Distinction
ABSTRACT Approaches to the perception–cognition distinction tend toward two extremes. Many embrace a hard border, treating perception and cognition as mutually exclusive, non‐overlapping categories. By contrast, eliminativism denies that any principled, theoretically useful distinction exists between perception and cognition.

Interpreting the Intensity of Vocal Emotions Across Cultures
ABSTRACT Intensity is a fundamental dimension of emotions that affects their perception. However, theoretical and empirical studies on intensity, particularly in the vocal domain, remain limited. Furthermore, research on the effects of emotional dimensions (e.g., arousal, valence, and basicness) on intensity ratings remains sparse.
